Those looked so cool.

As has been pointed out, there isn't a big market for engines that don't run. I've got a Monogram Big Boy in HO, but I've all so stood in the cab of one of these monsters here in Texas. I don't really want a runner of one because you have to huge curves, even in HO. I all so have three German engines from Revell and an AirFix Battle of Britan class. I plan to have a track side museum on my layout, so plastic model train kits are use full to me. But static trains aren't a big seller.

I have enjoyed building thier kits, though the short cuts they take some times suck. I'm working on a copy of thier 1/400 Kriegsmarine set, and they could have done a better job on the mont, for the front 20 mm on the S/E Boats. But I can't complain to much, as the box says you get 6 and I got 12.

Great review if I can ever get the cash I want one if these. Humans didn't build the Cylons in BSGTOS, a race of lizards called Cylons did. The robot Cylons killed thier builders and started enslaveing other races. The humans didn't come from Earth, the 12 plus the people of Earth came from the home of the gods Colbal(SP).

Yes I and a couple of others gave some ideas for your five/six engined 177.

I know it's been a long time for any thing on this thread. That said I believe it was very early this year, we were taking some wifi stuff over at Starship Modeler and someone posted a link to your photoshop zwilling. Your work shows up in some very different places.

Well, we,re waiting?

Yes, the Big Boy is the old Monogram kit.

They were US aircraft so they would have used US gallons when mixing paint.

Yes, the old well it's shaped like a monkey, it walks like a monkey, so it must be a spastic duck. I have seen this in books on armor many times. I have a book that every time it shows a Panzer 2 D the writer says its a Panzer 38 T, and I have a book on the Panzer 3 that has a really good head on shot of a Panzer 4 B in Greece but he says it's a Panzer 3. Have a book that has a great cutaway drawing of a B-17F but the call it a B-17G. The printer admitted the mistake in the next book. Its a hard back copy of Military Quarterly. And I have at least one book that calls a A-36 Apache a P-51 B, even though you can see the 20mm guns clearly, and the wing air-breaks.

The UH1D kit had miniguns.

Great job! 😎👍

I think that wing is a little burnt.

I have never seen this, but have seen photos of Japanese aircraft used by Communist Chinese forces.

With longhorns can be both, but the bull is normally bigger.

Depends on the breed of cow. Texas Longhorns as we call them here can have horns that are over 12 feet (about 4 meters) from tip to tip.

It gets me how some of their kits are total dogs, but others, still stand up to modern kits. I still will buy these at shows, and have the double French tank, and Churchill bridge layer in Matchbox and Revell boxes. Both kits are very nice, the Panther and Jagpanther I have both, are not very good at all, more like war gaming kits.

Some place in my Luft 46 kits, a zwilling version of the Messerschmidt piston engine fighter that was to replace the 109, you have followed many of the design shapes used in it. To get to America this would probable take off from the back of a BV 222 seaplane. The landing gear would only be used for training and test flights. Or when used for long range sea patrols. When taking off from the ground I could see this using RATO packs.

Nice.

All the jumping back in time has destroyed the time line from the first movie, and things are only getting more screwed up as Skynet tries to save it's self.

Initial Tiger I and Early Tiger I. Initial, air-cleaners, no escape/loaders hatch in back of turret, only a pistol port, no side skirts, some double storage bins. Early what JackG has written, some use PanzerIII/IV bins.

You have to do research, as the same company can make a really nice kit, and a dog at the same time. I live in Texas, my first big 1/72 scale kit was the Airfix Mosquito in a MPC box, it can still be had, and it lacks detail in the cockpit, and the wheel wells, but I have two versions of it in my shed of doom. Both are from the late 1990's, a copy of the one I built in the 1970's, and the Swedish version. The one because it is a copy of the first kit, the other because I am part Swedish. I all so have a Mosquito from Tamiya, miles ahead of the Airfix kits, but they have a special place in my 48 year old heart.

Well the markings are wrong, but there are palm trees and sand dunes in parts of Italy, but the Wespe never made it to North Africa.

The aircraft are stored until they are of no use, do to being out of date, or repair parts can not be had. All but a few F-14's were striped of their engines and interments and ground up in to little bits, which were burned or put in land fills. Iran has the only flyable F-14's left on the planet.

The Panzer III has the cow skull in it as well. It builds in to a very nice model.
