    New JSI Huey

    No kidding. That's why I was hoping we were paying for a stretch to a "D" or "H" model.

    New JSI Huey

    I saw the post-script to the description, but it still seems odd to me that they are going to cost $80 more than the 174th chopper for a rehash.

    New JSI Huey

    UH-1 Helicopter 1:18 JSI International JSI-60028 - Aiken's Airplanes Store Does anyone have any information on this? I know that some product art came out several months ago on rehashed versions of the UH-1C. But at a $200 pre-order, it seems unlikely that this is just another UH-1C gunship...

    Aero Scout! 1-9 'CAV OH-6A

    Thanks gentlemen for the kind words and for looking!

    Aero Scout! 1-9 'CAV OH-6A

    What, you didn't want to do "Queer John"? Everyone loves Hugh Mills and Low Level Hell. Joseph was a great guy to work with when it came to scaling up the decals. He sent a pdf file as a properly scaled 1/18 test sheet. Since the toys aren't true to scale, this gave me the opportunity to...

    Aero Scout! 1-9 'CAV OH-6A

    Clapping and crying...thanks KT. I couldn't have asked for a better response. Should this get re-posted in the vehicle customs or stay here? The decals came courtesy of Fireball Modelworks. Fireball Modelworks Without the decals, this would be simply an OD egg. Joseph does 1/35...

    Aero Scout! 1-9 'CAV OH-6A

    I thought I'd post this in a new thread since the Loach is complete…well, mostly. It isn't entirely weathered yet. But I wanted to get the completed and painted product posted before I went on a long trip. [/IMG] [/IMG]

    The Killer Egg Project

    Back when I was heavily into 1/6 the question repeatedly came up about why BBi never produced Vietnam figures. The answer from BBi was always that they didn't see Vietnam as being profitable. Only Merit did one half assed Vietnam figure. I called BS because the Vietnam stuff always sold like...

    Send it back to me. I'll rebuild it as an NOH-6 for silver dollars or bullion. I'll do my best to post photos this evening. Thanks Gatsby!

    The Killer Egg Project

    Because I know that KT is dying to know the status of this project, I'm eager to update him (and anyone else). Unfortunately, my home computer decided to stop recognizing wifi networks. So this is a teaser to give KT a chubby until said time that I can post the most recent photos. The...

    Very nice photos!

    M35A2

    That's great looking, but I'd bet it's 1:35. If it's supposed to be a Vietnam era deuce and a half, the paint is very wrong. Nonetheless, it's an impressive model.

    I was on my Nat'l Guard annual training the past two weeks. During which I broke my left hand. I should be able to get back to work on things soon, but it'll be slow going.

    I think my offer was $20. PM me your address and I'll send the remainder of the chassis to you (sans skids, which I may need if I screw up the others too badly).

    The Killer Egg Project

    My anal side is getting the better of me. I already screwed up the shorter skids once, but I have a fix for it when I get the time. Your talk of CIA choppers has no effect...haha...I have decals for a 1/9 'CAV Aero Scout and I know they don't have 5-blades. If you still want the TOW...

    The Killer Egg Project

    Damn you KT! I was looking closely at OH-6 photos and the skids and struts are noticeably shorter than the model. Now I have to figure out if I'm going to live with that, and whether I can get it right if I shorten them. Likewise, I'm pondering whether I need to put the tail fins directly...

    We do what we can with what we have. By the way, some of the rivets got sanded down while filling in holes left from AH-6 attachments.

    The Killer Egg Project

    You are a PICKY mofo... But if that is your only nitpick for now, I'll take it as a backhanded compliment that it's coming along nicely. :) Yes, it lacks the "sitting in a revetment in the humidity of Vietnam and been flown too much carrying above capacity on ammo" look right now. I...
