Small Scale Military Headquarters

Has anyone purchased this vehicle? I am strongly considering it, but have a few questions first. What are the features, and which hatches, exactly, are the ones that open? Is there anything else unique about this model when compared to other FOV tanks? Thanks for your help!

How did you make the terrain?

Wish I was one, though! Being in the armed forces was always an unrealized dream of mine, but due to some physical defects (aka somewhat bad eyesight and a few other things) the military wouldn't accept me. I have come to realize that collecting XD may on some subliminal level be a way that I compen...

Dang! Thats one professional looking custom job! 21st Centuy Toys shoudl hire you to do some consulting and modelwork - ON ARMOR!!

The last I checked around there before moving back to Los Angeles for school (about 3 weeks ago) there were plenty of XD Winter Tigers to be had along with a few FW-190s of both types. My local Hobbytown USA store was fully stocked with 1-2 examples of most XD aircraft and vehicles currently avaliab...

I wonder what the GERMANS think of all this... You're probably right, its just some pinhead that wants to feel important by making others look bad. I guess that the best way to sell things (say German XD vehicles or figures) would be just to leave out any reference to the country of origin. I wonder...

I would go with the Blue Angels F-18, or perhaps wait for a Thunderbirds F-16. I think a Mosquito and especially a B-25 will be longshots concerning 21st.

Haven't attempted that yet, though if done correctly it would be cool! I once thought about getting an XD plane for cheap at WM (one that can easily be replaced) and attempting to hit it at the right angle with a shotgun blast (from relatively long range so there is more scatter from the pellets) to...

At this point, the Zero would be a good candidate... However, to stay on topic, here's my list: Any WWI Plane (at this point) Japanese "Val" Divebomber Japanese "George" fighterplane ME-163 Komet TA-163 Volksjager fighterplane Focke-Wulf TA-183 Jet fighter Horten Flying Wing Arado Ar-555 Medium Jet ...

You say its your daughter that likes the 1:18 scale military toys?? I hope you don't have a son that plays with barbies :P I can't really respond to this question as I don't have kids, though, imagining myself 10 years down the road when I may very well have them, what will be done with all my XD an...

The ME-262 has already reached prototype stage, or so we saw last year. Given that 21st has already made one for the 32x line (the nicest plane in their smaller-scale aircraft series, in my opinion) it does not seem to be that illogical of a step for a new plane. Seeing that 21st is also making a Bu...

e-mail sent. Hope you enjoy the photos!

Teamski - Is it possible you could send me your e-mail address? I have several pictures you may want to add to your XD/BBI Profiles Webshots page, including illustrated profiles of the NKK Spitfire, color photo of the actual "Lou IV" P-51, and another photo of Kepford's Corsair. If you would rather,...

The larger B-52 made by Corgi is 1/144 scale. 1/400 would be a good guess since the smaller B-52 seems to be scale with some of my brother's 1/400 scale comercial aircraft models.

Does anyone remember the post from a while back on the old GPXD 1:32 scale forum that showed pictures of the new Matchbox Collectibles F-100 (cammo paintjob) and F-104 (NASA markings)? Have these started to appear at Target stores yet? Thanks.

I used 20lb test line to begin with and when the spool ran out, used 10lb. Neither has given me any problems, though I always make sure to tie a double knot. I usually hang a plane from one medium-sized eyehook, with two loops of fishingline. For larger aircraft, I use either a large eyehook or two ...

I swore that I wouldn't cave in and get the BBI F-18 (for size considerations only), however, being a Blue Angels fan as long as I can remember, this is just getting too tempting! I also agree with a previous post, a Thunderbirds F-16 is the next step. Now, to those of you who will purchase one or m...

I wonder if BBI will have improved struts on the new F-16? It seems like this is a problem that needs to be corrected as the design level.

Look at the size of that thing!! I guess thats the version I've got coming from BadCat in a few weeks and it sure looks awesome. I kind of like the canopy tint.

Very cool to see that BBI is entering the WWII market. Perhaps some of the "other goodies" we have heard about will be the P-51 BBI is rumored to be making... I'm kind of dissapointed to see 21st's domain (WWII products) being intruded upon, but competition can be a good thing and may very well get ...

OK, so how many versions of the 109 is it for the past 12 months? Four? Lets see, there was the winter version, the galland version, the night fighter and now the desert one. Thats a pretty good run for a plane 21st traditionally hasn't made many repaints of! I'm more than satisfied with my first se...

A diecast Sherman in the new colors would be nice, but I won't mind if its plastic. I'm just happy we get a chance at another one that has a decent, standard paintjob and that is going to the small retailers so that we don't have to deal with the Wal Mart distribution!

Some one who has contacts within the company should inform them of this new post. No use whining if there's no one to whine to

That plane looks darn good! Its about time to see it avaliable and it will compliment the RAF P-40 and Snake Stuka splendidly! 21st has got the air war covered for the North African campaign, now they just need a 1:18 Matilda, Panzer III or IV, British troops and German Afrika Korps troops! Its a lo...

Cant say anything about the Halftrack, but when comparing other FOV Action and Enthusiast vehicles, the Enthusiast usually come with more accessories and have better weathering.
