Small Scale Military Headquarters

Jolly Roger
I am always impressed with your 1/144 projects. One question I have is how do you paint and attach the very small clear canopies and and gun turrets. I always manage smear the glue or paint.
Thanks

Aikens Airplanes had them for $120 and Flying Mule for $130

Witty makes what I think are probably the best Zeros plus they have a lot of paint schemes

Time to downsize and get back to collecting aircraft only

Sold - Thanks

I did get the Military Issue catalog and an e-mail last week. I am guessing they are Altaya, IXO or a similar subscription service since the e-mail stated first of a five part series. I am very tempted but I promised myself I have to downsize.

Did anything become of the "American Beauty" repaint discussed about 18 months ago?

Has anyone built the 1/32 Grumman F3F? I picked up the Revell Germany and Revell Monogram kits at a flea market yesterday. Any real differences between the 2 kits
Thanks

I have mine sitting in a box about four feet to my right. The box is dusty. (I don't think my write up is as good as yours) MV This is my review also, word for word. I have had the model for a couple years but have not had the time to build or space to display (how big is the finished model?). Mayb...

I have the BBI Phantoms and would like to get some other Navy jets in 1/32. Has anyone built the Trumpeter 1/32 A-7 Corsair, F-8 Crusader, or A-6 Intruder? They seem like the only jets available. Any chance Merit would issue them as prebuilts like the 1/18 Dauntless?

Thanks

Antbody know anything about Mononofu Boford Sora Vintage Aircraft? I got an e-mail from an e-bay vendor that had these. Not sure of the scale but they had both WWI and WWII planes

2 WM near me have restocked all 3 models after the price was reduced to $7.97. On store still has the shelf price as $9.99 but they scan at the lower price

Normally I do not preorder things but in this case I am glad I preorder from Pete's Collectibles. I had no issues with fit and finish. You are right that the detail was not up to prior models

"1941" was a great movie

A good start would be the SSHQ database for 1/32. I think it is fairly complete but ehre may be a few missing

Any new info on repaints of the 1/32 Dauntless and Wildcat or even another 1/32 F-4

I suspect it's out of stock and they will just not contact me, or who knows? It appears to be a flaky undependable operation. Anybody have dealings with them? I ordered from Historic Aviation 5 or 6 times. The only problem I had was with a 1/144 Betty that was backordered when I bought the Century ...

Thanks for the advice. I have a lot of leg work to do.

As I get closer to retirement I have decided to downsize most of my assorted collections (not my aircraft). I have shelves full of 1/18 Ertl / American Muscle Diecast, Star Wars, and sports figures. Has anyone used a consignment auction service to move alot of stuff. I don't want the hassle of ebay ...

Super easy transaction with Earl (Dauntless) Glad everything arrived safe and sound

$8.00

the next series has been announced. Kind of disappointing. It's an A-4E (which is fine) bu also an F-18 super hornet and F-8 Crusader, both of which have been done to death already by Carereo/JWings. At least F Toys is still making stuff.....nobody else seems to be these days. I missed the A-4 and ...

I have an extra set of all 6 Can.Do Stukas. $2.50 each plus shipping

Gone, Thanks
