WTB various 1/18 planes+tanks- Any condition considered!
Posted: Mon Dec 26, 2005 11:27 am
I'm a scale modeller who uses the 1/18 XD and BBI aircraft as a basis for "superdetailed", semi-scratchbuilt
customised models. (See my "Any other aircraft customisers?" post on the 1/18 forum).
These 1/18 models are very hard to find here in the UK, even on eBay, and when you do find them they usually sell
for around $90-100 or more. I've managed to pick various ones up at cheaper prices (usually around £30) over the last year or so, but it's rather hard work finding them.
So far I have the Corsair, P-40, Spitfire, Fw190D, Stuka and P-47D. I'm currently working on the F4U and the others are in storage waiting to be rebuilt!
However I'm still looking for the P-51, Bf109 and Zero. (The P-38 is too big for me, I just don't have the space to display it - though I am definitely tempted by the Avenger - and I'm not really interested in jets, so don't want a F-104).
Does anyone have an unwanted example of any of these - whether intact or damaged/incomplete? Anything would be considered providing the basic airframe, canopy and prop are there (even if they are broken). Colour scheme is also irrelevant as I will be totally repainting them.
I also collect large-scale tanks and military vehicles, and am looking for the Sherman, Panzer IV, M3 halftrack and SdKfz.251. Again, anything would be considered, providing the main parts of the vehicle are there (including the tracks and wheels - these are very hard to "scratchbuild" replacements for).
Anyway - anyone have any of these items that they would be interested in selling?
If so, please let me know how much you want, including airmail postage to the UK. I can pay via PayPal.
