Small Scale Military Headquarters

Updated to list figures.

I am clearing out my Star Wars Collection since my 32X is taking over. It's a mix of "Power of the Force", "Shadows of the Empire", up to the current issues. The majority are MOC and have been in storage. Granted, the older figures don't compare to the ones that are on the shelves now, but they are ...

I haven't seen anything at my Targets...

The Wal-marts near me have been getting a spattering of 1:32 planes in stock for $11.
Can't beat the price, so I picked up another Fw-190 "Red 19" and a P-51 Sharkmouth.

Still keeping an eye out for the elusive "Double Nuthin" & "Black 2"

Before I forget to mention this, I recently completed a great transaction with board member RAD 2112 . He was a great person to deal with, paying promptly and maintaining excellent communication. Enjoy that "Tar Heel Hal" P-47 :D Thanks! "Tarheel Hal" was an excellent addition to the "hanger". Tman...

TKO2112,
Glad to hear the family is doing well!
It's always rough when the kids get sick.

Thank you for the update... just in the nick of time!

You mentioned that the 4-Star Military was a "Test Offering" @ Target.
Was that Nationwide or just in certain areas?

thanks!

That's unfortunate what happened to Roy.
I'm sure with his credentials he won't be unemployed for long.

Also, how does Target fit in to the equation with the random sightings of "Double Nuthin" and "Black 2" under the "Four Star Military" name?

just my .02

I guess the big question is, does the motor run?? :P Funny you should mention that. ...Yes, it does. Curiosity got the best of me. I found a multiple voltage adapter and plugged it in, starting on low... After upping the voltage the prop spun slowly and starting picking up speed. After a while, I s...

Now with Pics... :shock: <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/RAD2112/P47/photo#5233049970100679746"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/RAD2112/SJ-HOM-4NEI/AAAAAAAAABA/_d0xW-uoWbg/s144/P-47%20pic2.jpg"></a> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/RAD2112/P47/photo#5233049974960644098"><img src="http://lh6....

I won an auction for a NIB P-47M Tarheel Hal. I opened it as soon as it arrived. I looked at the box and noticed that the seal was broken on the propeller-side of the box. As I removed the plane from the box my excitement dissolved into disappointment. Besides the tape/seal being broken, the plastic...

OMG!!!
The "after" picture sent a chill down my spine... but to hear that she starting destroying more of your collection... I don't know how I'd react.

Hmm... I'd probably sell off her chatchskis/knicknacks to be compensated.

hworth18, you're just full of surprises... Nice paint job! I'm guessing it's not just a hobby. :wink: I think the only drawback to scanning 1/48 decals is that the white areas might get lost in the background. BTW: My friend's daughter is named Elizabeth, whom he calls "Princess". So I thought this ...

Greatmodels.com, no gots...

Any other leads?
If worse comes to worse, I'll just have to create some stencils from mylar.

I'm planning to customize one of my "Cripes A Mighty" planes to "Princess Elizabeth". The only problem is trying to find Decals in 1/32 scale. I have checked at: EagleCals http://www.eagle-editions.com/decintro.htm Squadron http://www.squadron.com Does anybody know where I might have better luck fin...

Thanks for the time line Tman! It really puts the the quality of aircraft in perspective. I find it curious as to why they went from (8) AC in 2006 down to (2) in 2007. Now adays, I feel like a Pavlovian dog whenever there's a new release. The slot doesn't bother me that much on the P-47. I was neve...

The ONLY reason I would get a P-40 is if it was Tex Hill's, to go along with his P-51B.

As was stated, the P-40 isn't that great, I'm okay with it. It doesn't bug me as much as the P-47. What are your issues with the P-40 vs P-47 ? For instance, my only complaints with the P-47 are the following: - Pilot sits too low in cockpit - Rear landing gear collapses Sounds like I need to get s...

I'll agree that the Bf-109E(s) are not perfect, but it was one that I did not have. I saw "Wespen Geschwader" 109E at a local hobby store priced at $30. I almost asked to speak with the manager about the ridiculous price. I started collecting 21C between the Bf-109F/G & the P-51B/C series. Out of th...

To fill in the lull of new 21C AC, I picked up a MIB Bf-109E "White 12" for $10 on evilbay. On a positive side, it gives me a chance to catch up on some planes that I've missed. I'm guessing this was the 1st Bf-109E 21st Century issued for two reasons: 1. The box is different (gray) 2. The canopy is...

wipes off like chalk

Fingernail polish will destroy the plane as well if you're not careful...

Still no 4SM AC at my Target...
Maybe next week.

Fortunately, the trip was not a total waste.
Both of my kids picked out a new Star Wars animated figure.

hworth18 - That's pretty ironic, since you were the first to find them at Target.

Nothing here...
I tried the one near home & at work.

Nice! I like "Black 2" more than the "Red 9" F-8. That Mustang is nice as well. I was just at my Target yesterday, but I was looking for the typical green boxes. The only thing they had there were FOV P-51s and a Spitfire on clearance for $21. $17.99 at Target...? That's better than $21.99 @ TRU I m...

Just picked up Red 19 at Walmart today. It was sitiing right next to a P-51D RAF Sharkmouth. The Yellow 11's have cleared out and some Mrs. Bonnies still remain. The Red 19 is a very cool paint scheme. I highly recommend getting one. Even the landing gear stays up! The only paint scheme cooler than ...
