Thanks! It was a lot of work, I even got it signed by the remaining Doolittle Raiders. Both the Mosquito and B-25 are modified Flying Styro Kit models.

I would love to see larger 1/18 models. Over the last several years, I have been getting into RC planes, so I am used to the size, I have built a 1/18 B-25 and 1/15 Mosquito, and a 1/18 F-106 and B-29 is next. And they will both fly! I think some twins like a tigercat, P-61, or OV-10 would be perfec...

I've still got a spare Huey on standby since you first looked at this project.

Glad to see this old project is still happening. If you need another Huey, I've had a spare set aside since you first proposed the idea..

Wow, great work there. You should feel pretty proud of that build. It really captures the simple cockpit / engine / frame construction of the real helicopter. Almost looks like a dragonfly insect. I can easly picture that on a simple grass or dirt diorama base. That has crossed my mind. Now if some...

Thanks for the compliments. I have to say, looking at the finished product has well justified the time I put into it. Also, funny story about the canopy. This part concerned me the most about the entire build. I knew that if I could finish that, the rest of the model I could produce on my own. So, t...

How did you do the canopy? It looks amazing!

Thanks for the kind words! I made the canopy by vacuforming, which meant first making a wooden mold. That was probably the single most difficult piece to cut and shape that I have worked on.

Thought I would share some pictures of my work, figured since there has been so little new 1/18 recently that I would post here instead of the customs section. This Korean War H-13 has been the product of about 2 years of scratch building. The entire structure is made of brass tubing, with plastic a...

Light.Inf.Scout wrote:Hi Guys, anyone know of any retailers still selling these? Will take either version but prefer the Coral Sea one. Any individuals want to sell their MIB one? Thanks.

Historic Aviation has them.

I was hoping for around $100. Let me know if that is reasonable, and it is negotiable. I'm honestly not sure what the value for customs like this should be, so that's why I didn't give a single fixed price. A lot of work has gone into building this, but at the same time, I don't want to overcharge a...

Thanks. Lots of work went into this tank.

Still trying to sell this if anyone is interested.

Listing my custom PTE 1/18 Type 98 for sale. A lot of work went into painting and detailing this tank. Make me a reasonable offer, no trades please, I need the money. Let me know if you have questions or need more pics. http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk155/Superfortress04/DSC_0116-1.jpg http://i...

Yes, you can find tons of them at every Wal Mart in the country :wink: (Actually, they are only found at Toys R Us, where they sell the True Heros line) Good thing I had my reading glasses on. :lol: Seriously, that thing is a toy. Ages 3 and up. :roll: With a lot of hard work, it can actually be ma...

The_Helicopter_Pilot wrote:About how far off are these true Heros F-22's from 1/18th?

They are almost exactly 1/32, just with a 1/18 pilot seat.

Nice job, B-29. 8) Did you also do some staining? I can't tell by the pictures. Thanks for the compiments everyone. Yes, I did add exhaust staining but other than that it is clean. From what I've been able to find, Minsi III was typically very clean. I will see if I can get better pictures to show ...

Just finished a repaint of David McCampbell's Minsi III Hellcat. Big thanks to Jackson for the decals! Sorry for the reflections in the photos, if requested I can put up some more pictures. I also added the rear window behind the cockpit. http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk155/Superfortress04/DSC_...

I would love to see a MQ-1 Predator and MQ-8 Fire Scout Helicopter.

A better, more scale version of the Skyraider aferguson mentioned is out: Its around 1/19.5 scale and looks great : http://www.hobby-paradise.com/en/produc ... etail.html

So, some people caring about price and size elect the A-4 Skyhawk, followed by the AV-8B Harrier. What about a small helicopter, if the MIL-PH MI-24 doesn't get out of dreams? There's not much choice in the US inventory. Or back to the Vietnam Era, with a simple Kiowa, a Cobra... When nothing new,t...

Helicopter: MH-47 Chinook http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz45/sukhoisu37terminator/Sukhoisu37terminator/BoeingMH-47GChinook414USA1.jpg Airplane: B-29 Superfortress http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-photos/photos/3/7/9/0474973.jpg Or F-106 Delta Dart (87th FIS) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wik...

Maybe its the F-15 prototype they showed off earlier? It would also be wonderful if it was the F-4.....
