Small Scale Military Headquarters

Oops sorry, that should be Elite Force Hind. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HIND-MI24-MI-24-BBI-HELICOPTER-COBRA-OKTOBER-GUARD_W0QQitemZ120124082722QQihZ002QQcategoryZ2468QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD2VQQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting Still, you could always chop the stumpy front end off and scratchbuild a semi-decen...

From the pic I'd say it looks grey, either steel or similar. Of course, since 1944 was towards the end of the war you could almost paint it any colour used by the German army as there must have been quite a bit of scrounging going on, especially near the front lines where a damaged tank that takes d...

i'm not sure why there is map of the UK on the wall though :wink: (In a really fake "German" accent...) "Yentlemen! Zis is vere ve vill invade ze great Breeteesh homeland unt bring zem to zere niz!" Cool idea and looks good, but the Sherman should be covered with all sorts of junk - both the crew's...

First thought that sprung to my mind was, once the big three have made my top ten, they'll probably have been in business for a good few hundred years anyway :( since I don't recall anyone else mentioning the Westland Lynx, BAe Hawk, Renault VAB 4x4 or the Cadillac-Gage V150 :cry: So it doesn't matt...

Just a guess, but hasn't the cost of doing any business at all risen, so BadCat had to raise their prices anyway...and that would explain the increase in shipping (ie the transit company has increased thier costs so BC have to pass some, if not all, of the increase on or they lose money). I don't kn...

C21 do... or, rather, did. I'm not sure they still make them.

"To an Englishman, 100 miles is a long way. To an American, 100 years is a long time." My "local" shop is about 50-odd miles away :shock: , but I buy from there or other bricks-n-mortar retailers normally. Having said that, I might be ordering some stuff online in the not-to-distant future, but it's...

Just for grins, I checked one of my local Big Lots at lunch yesterday. Nada. Chap Mei stuff seems to be around for one season, maybe two - then it's gone. As far as scale goes, normally CM is pretty dire but they do have the occasional flash of brilliance - or if you don't mind odd-sized figures (I...

The tail rotar can be glued at the proper angle, but it wont' rotate any more of course. From a quick look, I believe you can get the correct angle by removing the bit of plastic the rotor assembly goes into and fitting a small bit of tube the same size that sits flush to the gearbox housing at the...

...and the fact that is has not been visible so far proves that my concept seems to be working.... If it's not visible, how can we spot it?? :shock: :? It can't be the plastic buildings, can it? How about the "scenery" in the background looking a little like a proper diorama thingy rather than just...

Corgi Customer Service Corgi Classics Ltd, UK 0116 282 6622 Corgi were the main importers of 1/18th into the UK at one point. They don't bother any more. A couple of model shops that (used to) stock the 1/8th XD Spitfire got them through Corgi, but couldn't get anything else and can't get anything ...

Any Ideas what it might be??????

F4Phantom!!!!? :

Many years ago I knew a gent who built model aircraft one of two ways; each one would either represent a particular airframe as it was at a particular time (ie all "kill markings", crew names, stencils, camoflage scheme/colours and any other details - weapons loads, cargo, etc - as exact as he could...

As far as I can tell, the Eagle only has flaps, ailerons, elevators, and rudders. I'm not sure if it has speed brakes. The airbrake is a huge great flat "plate" on the spine behind the cockpit, single hydraulic(?) jack actuator. Strictly speaking it doesn't have ailerons since the whole "horizontal...

I am french & the metric system is the only one i know ! :lol: thanx for your help !!!! Philippe :) Oh well, not everyone can be English, I s'pose. C'est la vie :P 6 inches <> 15cm 7 " <> 18cm 3.3/4 inches <> 10cm Using a modern BBI infantryman as a guide, his head is about 13mm high. The MacFarlan...

I've listed what i think are probably the most likely candidates and what are, at this point, the most important vehicles to be made. So: What is the next most important piece of 1/18 armour that should be made? I want to vote for "None of the above". Where is the modern armour? :shock: In the four...

Darn! I was looking forward to seeing someone offering a KC10-A to go with the F4s due at the end of the year...

At 6"-7" a figure, these are between half as big again to nearly twice the size of the 1/18th figures...

wow, thats impressive, kinda makes me jealous :cry: {Marvin the Paranoid Android mode ON} I want you all to know I'm feeling very depressed. {Marvin the Paranoid Android mode OFF} Just don't look at any of the other stuff on there. Considering it is almost half the size of the 1/18th stuff, the det...

Um, I don't mean to insult anyone here but you're sure it's a Phillips head screw and not a Pozidrive head? And it's a Phillips driver not a Pozi driver? As well as having the extra bits in the "corner", Pozi kit has a different slope angle and the driver from one setup makes a horrible mess of scre...

And while you're at it, can you get them to start selling XD at their UK-based acquisition, Asda? There are a few places over here that sell the older models but since Corgi decided to do their own smaller-scale (ie up to 1/32nd) stuff, they've stopped bringing in the 1/18th as well. While I'm sure ...

Ah……….. first you have to be able to get into a position to get a lock, if you do get a lock you then have to hope your 1964/5 F-4s radar can maintain this lock and then after launch hope your first generation Sparrow could sustain a lock to the target and also not be fooled by chaff. So, what happ...

Easy guys...sharing knowledge is good, but let's not get testy with each other. Seems there has been a lot of heat on the board the last few days..let's let it cool off. Digger is right - I shouldn't have ranted at you EnemyAce, and I'm sorry. I offer my apologies.:oops: It's C21 I'm miffed at here...

That object on the left wing is called a "fence". It is sort of a air-flow dam to compensate for the swept wing and the removal of the leading edge "slats" that were on the earlier "A" and "E" model Sabres. I could be wrong, but I think he meant the baby bird, not the fence. :? Nice work on the Dra...
