Small Scale Military Headquarters

Ok, I must leave for the show. However, I think I have found a way to get you some photos around 2PM EST.

Hope you enjoy,

Jason

Oops, my clock is wrong! I am a half hour off. Sorry.

Thanks for the post, I would have been off all day!

Sorry again, no PMs.

Well the title is the first bit of news! Furthermore, for $140 it is a safe bet that it is not an F-5. However: The day has arrived in which you will learn the identity of Admiral's new aircraft in 1:18. However, I have been up since 4am putting the final touches on the Hartmann CL-13 with my brothe...

Its sunday now,so when do we get to see the pics of the new 1:18 scale Aircraft? :D Look at the time on your post! :lol: I have been up since 4am putting the final touches on the Hartmann CL-13 with my brother. It is 6:46 now. We will leave for the show in a little while. Unfortunately for you the ...

The German flag will be present just like on the CL-13 already released. It is a tampo print, and all the markings you see to date on the Hartmann are hand painted. We did not fire up the tampo print machine for the master paint. So no worries, the flag and all subsequent markings will be present on...

1:72 I will post answers to the various questions after toy fair. It is 5:30am and I need to sleep a little today! Here is some information for the small scale individuals on this thread. At toy fair you will see an all new Pak 40 in 1:72 scale. This of course will be accompanied by the German 88 th...

MIGMADMAVIS,

No one in this industry gives exact dates or even months of delivery anymore. It is too difficult because of all the variables involved.

Sorry, but late spring, summer, mid summer is the best you will get these days.

Most of the Admiral Toys' team leaves in two days for toy fair. I leave Friday night or Saturday morning. We are greatly looking forward to toy fair. It is a great time for manufacturers to finally meet face to face with many of our retailers. Most of this business is done over computers or on the p...

You do know what assume means?

I wanted to address the question regarding the cowl flaps on the Skyraider. The cowl flaps on the outside and back of the cowling are interconnected. That means if the cowl flaps are closed the inside of the cowling would also be closed. The Skyraider very rarely flew with the cowl open. The scoop b...

I think you are referring to the fact that the landing gear doors are not on our sample? They have been tooled and you will see the doors at Toy Fair. The only problem with the doors is if you look at the 1:1 you see the angle and engineering is not capable of replication 100% on the 1:18 scale. It ...

"And thats not all!!"

Look on the DFtheS for more info.

1:18 Here are the requested photos of the SBD. These photos are not current. There have been modifications since these were taken. More photos will be available soon. I hope you like what you see thus far. http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l79/jasonofadmiraltoys/IMG_1876.jpg http://i93.photobucket.c...

Dear Digger, Sorry if you were offended by my denial of the Skyraider in the previous post. However, as many have pointed out, I said not yet “in production.” I know it is a game of semantics, but my hands were tied and you got my knee jerk response to your claim. And because you sounded so convinci...

1:18 Thank you for the early replies. We are happy that you approve of our choice of models. To answer some of the immediate questions: The first paint scheme will be decided soon. The aircraft is not yet ready for preorder, so preorders beware. We will let you know when it is safe to start preorder...

I am back from China and exhausted. I am going to take the rest of the week and weekend off, but I did not want to leave you hanging on this past guessing game. It is time to finish what we started. I am impressed with the guessing. One of you hit it right on the head (Jason). Here are the clues and...

"1:18," 1:32, 1:72

The scary fact is that these two models are not the only news for toy fair. It only gets better

Regards,
Jason

JimBob55, This one is for you. You have been very patient and a considerable friend to our company. I have wanted to tell you personally for quite sometime that this aircraft was coming out. We were working on it when you sent those emails and posts. In fact I was going to use JimBob55 as one of my ...

1:18

Last and final hint before I return from China in the morning.

"Hook"

Good luck,
Jason

Post Script:
I love the guessing so far, some of you are correct!

Tmanthegreat, Not that soon on the SBD. It is done with tooling, but has some engineering to work out with the airbrakes. Gravity is not our friend in toy making. Top go up… want to come down. We will get it correct! As for the next clue regarding this elusive aircraft: 1. Father 2. Oil 3. Jump and ...

Interesting guessing thus far, I of course cannot tell you if you are correct until I get back from China later this week. I will give you your second hint: “Oil” I know the hints are not much to go off, but you have proven that you have the uncanny ability to guess these aircraft way too well. Good...

1:18 Greetings from China, I wanted to post some photos, but the internet is very slow at this time. I will try and post some photos latter. Here is your first clue to an all new aircraft that will by at toy fair. “It is not an SBD.” Just kidding, here is the real hint: “Father” Regards Jason

Yes the rumors and preorder is legitimate!! We have kept the lid on this one for a long time. I have wanted to tell you all about the Dauntless, but… well… you know how it goes these days. We are very excited about this aircraft. The Joneses over at Military Toy Shop are a great group of guys and ha...

Gary1930, thank you for the warning. I usually go with McDonalds while I am there! I leave in 3 hours for China. But, before I leave, I wanted to let the retailers that visit this site know the booth number and location of our display. We are in booth 5813, Hobby Tech area of the show, Level 1. Our ...
