Small Scale Military Headquarters

Fear not, I have all I can handle. Until the next wave of repaints, anyway.

Probably me. They're so priity, just couldn't resist 'em.

Sorry for not mentioning it in my last post. I found them at the Aberdeen, MD WalMart last Saturday. Aberdeen is where Abedeen Proving Grounds is, and is right on the East Coast. I'd be guessing, but I think they don't have any problem moving 21st Century tanks off their shelves.

Great to hear from you, oh grandfather of the site! Did you remodel to supply for room for model Display?
Yeah, I'm still into it and spending to much money, but who cares, I like it.

Help! I have 4 little US tank destroyers surrounded by swarms of Tigers, Panthers, P IV's and P III's. Not a Sherman in sight. Help!!!!!!!!!!

If Target had been able to pick and choose, Mattel might have done better. Down my way, if instead of having all 6 from a set, they could have sold a lot more 109's. They always disappeared in very short order. Of course, this brings up another question. Since Toy's R Us wouldn't sell the German Mat...

The ones that are more likely to be rare are the redone units, because very few of the folks who bought several of the originals are going to want to put more money into more mine-roller Shermans.

I didn't know that Dragon made any pre-painted 1/72 figures. Which dealers carry them? Are they still available?

The discussion was about the Dragon T-34's and the Matchbox T-34's. But someone else started mentioning the Corgi T-34's. The only Corgi T-34's I know about are the 1/50 scale models and the "Showcase" models which I thought were considerably smaller than 1/72. So I'm confused.

Which Corgi T-34 are we talking about? Is the Showcase T-34 a 1/72 model? If so, I missed my chance by quite a ways.

I just picked up a King Tiger at a WalMart in Glen Burnie, MD, and left two others and three Jagdtigers behind.

Hoverbug -
The Target in Glen Burnie, MD on Crain Highway has the LAV's. I wasn't looking that hard because I'm not that interested. Sunday, they also had what I guess was an MLRS.

I saw one of the German releases,last year, don't remember which one. It really looked good, but the image in my mind was overlaid by the price sticker. It was discounted at a store that I had never seen discount before. But even at the discounted price, it was waaaaaay past what I was willing to pa...

I've ordered about three times from Diecast Direct with no problems.

But let me tell you, after reading the Hobby Link message, I won't go near them. Their policy message starts off reasonably well, but after that it goes downhill fast.

I saw the 1/32 P-51 and ME-262 at the Glen Burnie, MD WM at New Cut Rd and I-97 today.

They were out several months ago at WalMart.

All but the 88's I saw in passing. Couple days later just one 109 left.

None of the ones I have can be moved.

I gave up on seeing the 109 at Target and bought one on-line. Of course, that means a slew of them will show up on local shelves tomorrow!

K-Line has some military figures on the market that are O gauge. O gauge is generally called 1/4 inch gauge. That is 1/4" equals one foot, so 1/48th is the same. 1/50 and 1/43 are kind of close.

Boy, I would have gone for one that looked like that in a heartbeat. Good work tman.

With me, it's the other way round. I like the figures to complement the armor.

Corgi makes several Phantoms, including the Navy one pictured. There are USAF in Vietnam camo, a training version in black with bunny ears on the tail, two different Blue Angels, an RAF model, a National Guard model, and the orange one I personally don't like, because it's a drone.
