Small Scale Military Headquarters

Same here. I've had my Stuka hanging with 8 lb. fishing line since spring of 2001. Looks like I need to do some spring cleaning on the cobwebs and sit the pilot up again. Home Depot sells some over priced hooks with rubber covers that match the ceiling pretty well. On the white 7, I've got the fish...

I'm a 2 hook guy myself. 20lb test works really well...... I wouldn't use just 1 hook. That would get me nervous, especially for the heavier aircraft..... http://inlinethumb38.webshots.com/37413/2837747920050168193S600x600Q85.jpg -Ski If you get one hook into wood it is fine. I have an Avenger, F-8...

Well, now that the Christmas rush has passed, it looks like the military toys weathered the storm quite well - which is not good for the timely arrival of any new releases. The military sections at both the TRUs in my town were largely unscathed, with a few more items still in the overhead bins and...

I use 12lb fishing line. Make one large loop, I put a drop of superglue on the knot to keep it from sliding. Loop around tail and nose, then looped twice around a cup hook screwed into a floor joist.

Looking at your photos, the new Mustang:

1. Doesn't appear to have any weathering.
1. The pilot doesn't come with an oxygen mask.

Is that correct?

Correct on both.

By now, as we well know, EVERY NEW PRODUCT SHOWS UP FIRST AT THE WASHINGTON, ILLINOIS WALMART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! congrats! :lol: Ain't it the truth. Great find, that is an awesome looking plane!! The thing is I had found the FW-190F there last week and it had a bad paint job. They told me they were e...

WM's in my AO are loaded to the gills with P-40s so I won't be seeing one of these for awhile. Hopefully the distribution will be better than the B/C's since I only ever saw Bull Frogs and my single Shangri-La. Why is the blue in the national insignia so light? Is that the camera or is it supposed ...

I wonder where they've shown up? No one has reported them around here, not even rmoore456 who usually finds all the new stuff in Illinois. Save for the headsculpts, the Platoon figures seem to have the same body construction, weapons and accessories as the current "generic" Vietnam figures. Good th...

Its packaged in the recoil position. Push it out it is as long as the model.

These were the only ones in the box.

The stores also had them on clearance, the checkerboard. The last one at the local TRU was $17.98.

When I first spotted the box on the top shelf I thought the same!

Found these, along with the previously mentioned Gray Pz. IV at the Bloomington, Illinois TRU yesterday.

Why is that a bummer? My local Wal Marts have not restocked anything 1:18 and smaller - and I am still patiently waiting for the 1:144 Zeros... They received a shipment of 190's and they sold out, now second shipment is sitting. Unless these sell they probably won't receive anything new, like Zeros...
