Re: New Merit 1/18 DAUNTLESS DISCUSSION

My point was not so much the 170. (which the Msrp list price is 165-170). I'll pay a heavier price these days and welcome new product. I have paid it in spades for the F-14s I bought. My only point was to validate another members expressed caution about what we should or might expect from this model...

Re: New Merit 1/18 DAUNTLESS DISCUSSION

I am hearing similar rumors from China. I too have been told that this offering is coming off from a model kit and that the final article may be a much more brittle plastic which might suggest that this is more of a display piece and more fragile than the F-14s ever were! In particular, landing gear...

Re: Wings of Glory aircraft line!

I just got off the phone with the owners of BH toys. Everyone is excited to see the planes on the shelves and so far it's been a strong opening weekend. There are more planes coming in 1:48 and larger scales in the future! The next 1:48 plane and scheme is being approved as we speak. By now everyone...

Re: Wings of Glory aircraft line!

These were found between some trucks on the "transportation" boy toy isle. This is one isle over from the Star Wars and other licensed action figure stuff. They are the 9.97 price tag. Not sure what the 14.97 was for. The fit and finish were good on the sample I bought. No paint defects. Good regist...

Re: Wings of Glory aircraft line!

Hi everyone. I have more time now to give just a couple more details. Last night was a blur playing dad taxi, going to retails movie, and scoring the new line at Walmart. 1. This is not an AllGo venture. It's a new player, BH toys. 2. Not the same management structure. 3. This is a retail test to se...

1:48 scale (for now). Blue and Gold box art. 1st release is a red tail 51. You will recognize the tooling instantly. Looks like 2012 is starting off just as expected! :)

A final screw job from Jack at Skyworks

Hello all. I have purposely remained silent on this subject with reason... I thought the time has finally come to share with everyone a final death blow dished out by Jack in the now infamous saga of Skyworks.

So it's totally a static model now. I misplaced a rear section of the canopy so I need to resolve that some how. It's further along t...

Re: What was the worst item ever made?

The Hellcat from BBI was the absolute worst in my opinion. Functionally, it's a floppy mess. There is so much to be frustrated by... The flaps, the wings, the main gear, the canopy shape... It's a real shame too!

Ever think to yourself- I have too many planes!

Title says it all! Today, I was at my studio looking at approx 60 planes and thinking to myself... Do I really have to have all these? I have another 60+ at home. It may be time to thin the herd in the customs dept! Especially knowing that I have more I want to do.

Re: Dragon to issue new 1/18 Space figures

I'll bite... First thing I think I will do is repaint the bright light blue boot soles and finger tips. They seem like they should be a bit more muted in color. Otherwise, I think I will rather enjoy these.

Ah yes! I totally forgot about the X-1. You should pick a scheme for the F-14 and do one... They look really great in custom paint. They are more work but really worth it.

Wow Snake! I sorta lost track in regards to how many of mine you have. There is one other guy out there that has 6 of mine. I think you might hold the number 2 spot for most owned. :) Which 4 again? Cf-18 410 squadron, the golden hawks saber... What other 2? China lake camo f-86?... I can't recall.
