Weathered Aircraft
I am wanting to display some of my 21st 1:32 Zeros in my collections but would like to give them a more realistic look to them. I have read some posting on using Alclad or Tester's Metalizer paints to give them a metal wear/tear to them. Does anyone have other suggestions on a simple techniques?

Modified 1/6 21st Century Helicopter for ceiling fan
I had this concept of somehow attaching a 1/6 helicopter to a ceiling fan and wiring lights as well. This one listed is one of three that I have created so far. If anyone is interested or has questions please let me know.

Has anyone seen any of these in the southwest/midwest? I spoke too soon. Check my local WMs today in Dallas and sure enough there they were! 1st WM had the Zeros S3, Macchi S3, WASP 109 & P51. Limited to only a total of 4 each there. So I picked up the Zero & Macchi. Went to another WM and they had...

1/6 AH-6 Little Bird Helicopter
I am new to this forum but a man on a mission! I am always looking for 1/6 AH-6 Little Bird Helicopters. I know that they have been out of production for some time and I have looked on ebay. I was wondering if there are any other sources out there for these birds?
