Small Scale Military Headquarters

Tanker85 present and accounted for. I have been lurking mostly in the background but I wanted to say I have been here since around 2003. I have really enjoyed being a part of this forum and hope it will long continue.

Tanks for the memories
Eric

These have finally made it to the mid-west TuesdayMorning stores. I bought 1 ea. at $9.95.

Eric

Welcome OldbreedMarine,

Glad you found us, we are always happy to have new members. We look forward to seeing your dioramas.

Eric

Where are you located? Someone on the board may be close enough to come look at your collection. Sorry to hear you are getting out of 1/18th collecting, but it sounds as though it may be a windfall for someone else to get things they may not have.

Eric

Nice custom Joc. I wish I had some one of these. It would fit into my collection nicely.

Eric

norwaystar06 Congrats on your addition of the F 104, word of caution though, the landing gear is notoriuosly fragile so if you display with wheels down you should support its weight with a stand of somekind. Also of historical significance, my uncle Bill flew one of these jets in the early sixties. ...

Hi Coryeagle48

The jeep you are displaying is the PTE jeep. Not alot of value there, but certainly
trading material for someone.

Yesterday I went to my local Target in Joplin Mo and to my complete dismay there was nothing related to Bravo figures in either 1/18 or 1/32. Two weeks ago I saw they were doing a reset but never imagined that they were removing the line. There wasn't even anything in the clearence isle. I am wonder...

I didn't read the description, they must be uber rare, since I have the only Wal-Mart in America in my neighborhood. I suppose I should go buy all 6 that are in stock and put them away for safe keeping?

I saw this same plane at Wal-Mart yesterday, price point was $9.96. Much cheaper then this ebay price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/VHTF-Red-Tails-P-51B-Mustang-1-48-By-ReQuest-Tuskegee-Airman-Wings-Glory-/290665030638?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item43acfc63ee If your into 1/48 scale it looks like a good b...

And don't call me Shirley!!!

Eric

Congratulations Yoxford, way to go!!!!!

Eric

Sad to say that I received no 1/18 stuff because she (my wife) says I already have one of everything (its true). But I got a cool tactical vest to go with my BoB Kit.

Eric

Merry Christmas to all of you and a Happy New Year as well.

Eric

This site takes very seriously the impersonation of professional soldiers. They dilegently search out and expose frauds and scammers. Their protocal is very strict on thier website as it is centered around military edicate. I am not a member but have loitered here for many of the interesting topics ...

Thanks TTT for all the sacrifices you've made in the service and all the knowledgable contributions you've made to our forum.

Respectfully

Eric

Good story TTT. Don't want to side track the post to much, but this past weekend will celebrating my Grandmothers 100 birthday I got to see my cousin that was in 5th SF DeltaProject (Nha Trang) Oct 66 thru Oct 67. Talk about good stories he has a few also. However still won't talk much about his exp...

Ok Aferg One more example from youtube at about 36 secs showing another style of box.

Nice tank in action.

Eric

Well, having become intrigued by your interest I have continued to search other sources and pictures for external phones and finally found a close example of the 21st century phone. It is located near the bottom of this series of photos. Theres no door on the box but it is mounted to the fender and ...

Our most common application was in a defensive posture in a static night time fighting position maintaining radio silence and operating LP/OPs and security patrols. Ground personnel could talk without having to mount the tank. Also in cold weather, inclement weather or chemical environment, the tank...

Your record is still intact TTT. Your interpretation is correct. The radio bracket is connected to the backdeck (engine cover) and extends out over the fender giving it the impresison that its connected to the fender. And you are correct aferg 21st got it wrong.

Eric

Heres some supplemental info for you Aferg. The radio box does not set on the fender because of excessive vibrations from the thin metal of the fender. But rather mounted on a bracket thats attached to the back deck that covers the engine. The box is at shoulder height and is more conveint then it a...

Earlier post updated with an accurate picture.
