Small Scale Military Headquarters

I really need to get a Harrier at some point...

You going to be at Miramar this weekend? Might have to talk to you about a Harrier!

Impossible I had a friend who saw them there today with the harrier he wasn't allowed to take pics but he has a pamphlet on it I had my friend asking around and walking booth by booth looking for it over a few days of the con... again, I hate to disagree, but he was not able to find them anywhere n...

Sooo... after my friend kept checking the Merit booth all days of the con, today he finally asked the two other booths that Merit was sandwiched in between today (the last day of the con) and they said that Merit was a no show for the entire con!

A friend went by Merit's booth, said there wasn't anything there. However, they may be waiting to reveal things till later in the Con like Friday or this weekend.

He mustn't look around at collectible sites often... They are LITTERED with advertising. It pays for everything any site does. Kickbacks are few and minimal for most people working on any collecting site, but people doing it for free rarely translates to continued effort. That's some BS that he exp...

This message board used to have ads on here for Badcat, it wasn't much money they were giving and barely enough to even cover hosting costs. One day I got very angry message from Rob saying how he was upset that I was 'letting' other companies advertise on my board through posts (like Aviatornut). H...

Hey guys, I think it's time to put that video, and the references to it, in the past. Regardless or not if it was meant in good fun, this world of collecting has been on the edge of late, and we don't want to send anyone over to vanish like Admiral Toys or even 21st.

Dangit! Finally get what could be a decent CH-53 and they go and cancel it. Sigh....

As someone who collects a lot of those type of magazines along with LIFE and YANKs, AWESOME find! You scored on that one! Looks like some really awesome things and a super great price to boot!

Here's a couple of my shots of the Harrier. That review is pretty good but here's a couple of addition things... - They said the weapons on the Harrier are interchangeable with the ones from at least the F-14 - I'd say it's pretty much NOT going to be the True Lies scheme. One of the schemes they ar...

Probably the National IPMS show coming up in August. Can't wait to see the FW :D YES! That's it! And yes, I shot photos of the bottom of the aircraft. The landing gear was giving them some issues (since it was the prototype, some of the things were attached with tape or just attached with little pi...

Okay guys, I think this thread was unnecessary. I understand the humor in it and the frustrations, but you have to realize the volatility of this market lately. These companies are actually producing something, even if it's just repaints or occasionally a new tooled piece. The 1/18 world is not what...

Hey guys, I'm back from Con. Had a nice discussion with the guys at Merit. I'll post more about it and actually seeing the Harrier in person a bit later but I have something I need to make sure is posted asap... THE FW-190 IS READY Yup. According to Merit, the FW-190 is ready for production and eith...

I'll see what I can do Saturday when I'm there. As for release, the rep told my friend later this year (Christmas).

Here they are! A few photos from my friend! I'll be there Saturday and Sunday, so I'll get some shots too.

POST ALL COMIC CON 2014 RELATED THINGS HERE Was just on the phone with a friend at Con... he checked out the Harrier (he's sending photos soon) while I was on the phone with him. Notes of interest: Retractable Gear Moving Exhaust Nozzles (all 4 move together) Refueling Prope Extends Moving Control ...

Hey guys, as mentioned it's something. I look forward to seeing the AV-8B. All it takes is one thing to really take off (no pun intended) to get things at least going a little bit again. At least there's something coming out, versus the entire scale going away completely. Even if it's just repaints,...

Nice shots! No photos yet of the CH-53E is there?

Whole ton of photos of the aircraft on here: http://forums.diecast-aviation.eu/showt ... p?p=552531

Sadly... no CH-53 yet.

FINALLY!! A CH-53! Been waiting for someone to make one.

I donated quite a few to the Planes of Fame Museum, so they are all over in different displays if anyone ever comes out for a visit.

It might be a glitch... my site was hacked once and google flagged the site as unsafe, in the exact same way, because of the hacker code. I went through and removed all the code and had google recheck it and it removed the warning. If you use Chrome (Which I do) you can't bypass that message unless ...

I'm not seeing anything... Google hasn't marked the site as unsafe which it would do for the entire domain if something is amiss... I use chrome as well so it'd alert me. Can you take a screenshot? That seems weird that it's only on that page.
