Andy always brightens my day. Reminds me of good times spent at our LHS, Hares Art and Hobby. Pete, the owner and Dave the model guy were more than friends; they were family. Both are gone, now, as is the store. Watching Andy reminds me of all the Saturdays spent at the counter ogling new models we couldn’t afford, and the warmth and camaraderie we shared. Thanks, Andy, for bringing precious memories back of better times past, and better people. Marty

Hobby Boss is the brand that Trempeter establish for over-sea markets. Basically they are the same company just like Infinity and Nissan. In the early years of HB, its procducts were much better produced compare to Trempeter's, but they are pretty much the same level of quality these days.

@josepha.correiaiii88555 жыл бұрын
Be advised, if the Stuka kit is based on the original Airfix/Mpc molds expect many fit problems with the engine/ cowling areas. Cowling is way to thick to fit properly over the installed engine and mounts and as a result will not stay in position and falls off. But that was with the older moldings from the 70s. But really @ $150.00, it should fit like a glove. I bought my original for $15.00 USD in 1972 if I recall properly. $150.00 is absolutely outrageous.

RE: THE FW190 For those of you who were never into collecting 1/32 0r 1/18 prebuilt vehicles back about a decade ago, from companies like 21st Century Toys, Unimax/FOV, or BBI, this is actually the kit version of the plane Merit International released at the end of last year in already-built form. This is merely the parts the factory workers get to assemble, box, and ship out. They have done this with a couple of planes since the companies I mentioned before went bust when the recession hit. Merit and a few other companies bought some of the molds from the Chinese creditors and re-released the more popular 1/18 stuff -- although without any of the crew figures the original toys came with. This is at its heart a toy, albeit a very nice one and not some of that underscaled Chap Mei or G.I.Joe crap. The head designer at 21st Century - Roy Sutherland - wanted their toys to look as much like the real thing as a toy could get and they were all pretty nice. If you search places like largescaleplanes.com you can find a few guys using the old toys as bases for super-detailing. So, you will find there is detail lacking in some spots, like the engine, but the shape and all should be pretty good and definitely something you can make nice as-is or go nuts with years of scratch-building. Like the guy who has almost replaced all the original plastic body of his 1/18 P-51D with sheet aluminum.
@wwiiinplastic47126 жыл бұрын
How would you guys feel if I told you that back in 2002-2007 when I was collecting these toys, I was buying them for $30-$40 at Wal-Mart and Toys-R-Us? Yes, a 1/18 scale Grumman Avenger for only $40!!! With 3 crew, folding wings, moving armament and a torpedo. Just like the FW190 Andy just showed you in the video. You can't get that kind of deal anymore.
@GhostofCicero6 жыл бұрын
$150 is too much for what was shown in the video. That's a joke. The pre-painted and assembled "toys" were much cheaper. You could buy one of the toys and strip it down to do your own thing.

Just getting back into this part of the hobby after a few decades of being out of it. totally stunned by the variety and large scales of WW2 aircraft now available. Noticed that these two German aircraft don't include swastika decals, I assume that's due to some sort of legal restriction? Are they available from other sources in this scale?
@wwiiinplastic47126 жыл бұрын
You can find 1/18 swastikas on ebay: "1:18 Luftwaffe new tail decals for your german aircraft" This is leftover stock from 21st Century Toys, so not really new but new to you. They're from 2006, so hopefully still usable. They come as a set of 4 different meant for the Me262 and another 4 different - and smaller - set for the BF109 that 21st sold back then. As for 1/24, I imagine they would have some because of the Airfix kits.

Other than the large size I feel a little underwhelmed with the details in the FW kit. I would expect a detailed engine, gun bays, cockpit, etc for something in that scale. Can't see committing a large shelf space footprint for a model with not much more going for it than a 1/72 scale kit detail wise. It is unique for its size though, guess that is a quality all to itself. To each their own.
