Re: My collection

Hey man. Thanks for the compliment. I plan on getting at least one CW A-6, probably the last flight bird. If I get the chance I'll get a retro-schemed one too. As far as their A-7s, I'd love VA-93 NF301 to go with the bicentennial Witty A-7A I plan on adding to the bunch.

Re: My collection

Oh, and inside the drawers on the cabinets are 40+ plastic model kits I plan on doing for the collection. Stuff ranging from Navy X planes like the pogo, flying pancake, Ryan FR-1 Fireball, and TFX/ F-111B navy version to movie planes like an A-6E with "Flight of the Intruder" markings, F-14As with ...

Yeah, no kids yet. 27 and freshly married over here. No diecast are currently waiting display, they go out as I get them. I actually just got my Altaya VF-101 Reaper in last evening. Not quite up to par with a Dragon or even Witty model, and certainly not for the accuracy lovers out there, but it's ...

My collection

Hi guys. I've been slowly collecting for about 2 years now, and in the last few months 1/72 diecast has become the focus of my collecting. I've also got about 40 1/72 US Navy aircraft plastic kits that I will be starting in on soon. Anyway, I hope you like what I've got going. All of the tractors an...

Noticeable difference between 1/72 and 1/80 scale F-14s?

Hey guys. I just found a diecast I'm interested in, but it's in 1/80 scale, not the usual 1/72. It's a Hogan 1/80 F-14B Tomcat VF-101 Grim Reapers (the red jet). I have a pretty decent 1/72 collection, and I am very partial to VF-101, so I'd like to add this piece, but I don't want it to look out of...

I can't wait for you to release these because I know they'll be top notch. As far as figures: That's a toss up- poseable figures offer versatility but they NEVER are able to really be posed in realistic positions: IE a shooter lunging on the deck sending a plane off the cat. No hip joint short of Ma...

Dude, I so need one of those tractors to go with my Tomcat (that is sitting on one of your stands). I LOVE diorama stuff. Any chance we can convince you to next to a EPU tractor or a fire engine? PIZZA GUY: THE GOD OF BIG ASS DIORAMAS!

Re: Am I Wrong? - *** BUY SELL TRADE IMPROVEMENT THOUGHTS **

On the one hand- I managed to score a JSI Tomcat at a great price within a week of being on these boards because someone responded to me with a deal before the mods "informed" me of the 6 month probation. It was the jumping off of what has become a nice militaria collection, and probably wouldn't ha...

WTB: Century Wings 1/72 VF-101 Grim Reapers F-14 Tomcat.

Hi guys. I'm on the prowl for one of my major "wants" for the collection. I'm trying to find a reasonably priced VF-101 Grim Reapers Century Wings tomcat. If anyone has a reaper they'd part with, please PM me.
Thanks,

Nah, I never noticed it, I was too busy drooling over the 1/18 stuff, though I did think it was weird a Small Scale HQ would neglect anything but 1/18....Guess my first dealings on the board about the JSI Tomcat really tunnel-visioned me.

Hello guys! I've been creeping in the 1/18 scale forums for about 8 months now, completely oblivious to the fact that there was a "-n-smaller" forum on here. I'm a diehard 1/72 collector, and now I have somewhere to keep up with the hobby. I'll be sure to get pics up ASAP of my collection, and I'll ...

Not sure if I missed the bus on this news, or if I just stumbled onto something you all are gonna go nuts over, but it looks like there is a new 1/18 F-15 Eagle mold from JSI about to bust onto the market:

Re: Looking for a 1/18 BBI Hornet...anybody selling?

They were in the $150 range a few months ago on Ebay, but with the holidays upon us, I can see why it is up. I'd love to know if BBI was going to do another one a-la the latest Falcon, and in some kind of decent USN colors.

Looking for a 1/18 BBI Hornet...anybody selling?

Hey guys. I'm interested in getting my second 1/18 jet, a BBI Hornet to complement my JSI Tomcat. I have no interest in the Jolly Rogers version, and the Blue Angels version is so far out of my budget I'd need a federal bailout to make it happen. I'd love to fall into the VMFA-232 version, but those...
