1:18 Scale Reviews
Henschel & Son Tiger I Heavy Tank
A 1:18 scale Tiger I Heavy Tank review? Didn't we do that already you might ask. Well, yes and no. We have already reviewed 21st Century Toys "Eastern Front" Tiger I, which you can read Here.

Fieseler Fi 103 – Vergeltungswaffe 1 “V-1 Flying Bomb”
When you think of the 1:18 scale hobby, names like 21st Century Toys and Blue Box Toys come to mind. Most have never heard of a small company called Pegasus Hobbies. The simple design of the V-1 was a unique choice for Pegasus Hobbies to make an interesting contribution to a market over saturated with "notable aircraft" such as the P-51D. Read More »
M3A2 Bradley Cavalry Fighting Vehicle
Despite this line, and its companion 1:18 scale figures, only being available at Target stores, Unimax's Forces of Valor: Bravo Team has become a blessing for modern era 1:18 scale fans. Despite not having a lot of "action features" Unimax delivers extremely durable toys with an incredible amount of external details for the right price. The M3A2 Bradley is no exception. Read More »
Messerschmitt BF-109G2 Trop “Black 1”
BBi has come to be known as one of the kings of the 1:18 market. Surprisingly, it is because of their amazing balance between durability and details within their toys. This piece is a shining example of those values, but unfortunately this bird is not without its flaws. Read More »
