New Guy-

Post by tiger1 » Tue Oct 25, 2005 12:18 am

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...

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! :P Love to see what you did with the planes, especially the painting and the lights. :shock: I paint my armor but I am always afraid I am going to mess up the warbirds. Technology permitting, please share!

Just noticed that you were from Moss, Norway! I have a good friend who lives in Moss and I've been over there a couple times over the past few years for a visit. Norway is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen!

God dag!

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 :lol:

Welcome Tiger 1.
Moss is near Oslo isn't it? I have heard that the countryside is very beautiful around that area. We have quite a few guys here that customize their tanks and aircraft. I look forward to seeing some of your work.

I'm a legend in my own mind.
