New Guy-
Hi guy`s- i`ve been following You guy`s here for a while and it is a nice place You have here.I`m mostly into 1:18 diecast cars,but dicovered
1:18 planes last year...So far i have bought 6 planes,but sold two of them again(F-16 and the P47 Eileen-too coarse and wrongly shaped)
I also do some painting and alterations-the Spitfire and the FW190 have gotten new wheels(R/C type foam wheels)and
I have improved the models with new tail lights anti collltion lights antennas and arieals and also painted wear and chipping on the paint...
The other planes are Me109g-P51(BBI)-AND UH1C
I am hoping the manufacturers will start to make soft rubber tires and
Diecast ldg legs (on the heavier models at least)
i am now waiting for the F104G(should be hee any day)and the Avenger
but i will not preorder this as i saw on pic`s from LA toy show that the wings were sagging when spread out-spoils the joy for me,on an otherwise
excellent (seemingly)model...

Hello
Welcome Tiger.
One thing you will learn is that you can't wet our appetite with talk of sweet custom work and then deprive us of the pics!
Love to see what you did with the planes, especially the painting and the lights.
I paint my armor but I am always afraid I am going to mess up the warbirds. Technology permitting, please share!

Kagnew,
50 1/18 aircraft? what are they? do you have sqaudrons or what!
I'm envious, I thought 8 and a web store was enough but 50's a goal to shoot for, hope the wife doesnt read this
