Hello everyone! After reading all of your posts for months and months I'm finally able to chime in.

I got into 1/18 aircraft last year when the Avenger stopped me in my tracks at Wallyworld. Since then I have also acquired the Hellcat, P51, Mig, Sabre, Blackhawk, Apache and P40.

Can't wati for the 21CT King Tiger!

Take care!

Thnx for the warm welcome!

Can you guys tell me how to get a replacement drop tank for my BBI Hellcat? I accidentally broke one of the mounting brackets when opening the kit. I got a little over excited with the pliers. It's such a nice kit that super glue just isn't going to do it. If I can't find a replacement I might order a new one and donate the old one to the local veterans home.

Welcome aboard

As far as the drop tank you could possibly try to contact one of the e-tailers to see if they have extra parts. I know Aviator Nut had a bunch of props for the Hellcat. He could have these as well.

Welcome to the forums, and have an merry XD Christmas! Boy oh boy gee golly I sure hope I get that F-4, it just tickles me to think that I wouldn't!

I love you guys, it's like one giant disgruntled family of old guys and kids that can't seem to grow out of toys and one girl.

Oh how I love this forum, I'm seriously on here everyday, except when I can't be but even then I'm thinking about it, haha.

So feel welcome, I sure do!
