anybody know of this new true heroes plane?

[Wild weasel]

How much was it, like $65 or something?

 

[K-Tiger]

I think it varies on style. i know he did a M2 shield, but ii don't think he's done the armored turret yet.

 

[Fled74]

The Humvee turret ring and shield are $15, and the full turret and shield are $35.
Yes, you could buy more Humvees for that kind of money, but I'd rather support someone who's doing this on his own time to help improve our hobby.

I bought his BBI Blackhawk nose detail set (sensors & radomes) for $20 including postage to Aus, and it was money well spent. I'd gladly order from him again.

 

[Wild weasel]

huh, thats not bad at all! I'l have to look into getting them when he makes his Horten(that'll be cool)

Umm, congrats?


Me and pickel just never see eye-to-eye on pricing. It's just one of those things.

 

[Wild weasel]

You'd never last in 1/35th then. That stuff is ridiculous. For a nice resin figure, whuch is like 2 inches tall you'll pay between $15 and 20 most of the time. It's crazy, and so the way I see it his stuff isn't bad pricing, the cost of casting is through the roof.

 

[K-Tiger]

I'd never last because it's too small.


Funny, I see plenty of 1:35th kit stuff.

 

[Wild weasel]

they have a much better selection than 1/18

 

[K-Tiger]

They do, but G.I. Joe didn't come out in 1:35 when i was a kid, so the scale is a non-entity to me.

Plenty of modelers doing 1:35 to make that scale run.

 

[Fled74]

Yeah, hobby money is a big issue, especially these days. I shudder to think how much I spent on 1/6 figures before I discovered the joys of 1/18.

yeah it did, did you ever look at the vehicles you silly goose.

I think this could be made to look more accurate if one were so inclined. Find a plastic tube at the DIY store, cut that up and graft it to the existing plane using shims and bondo, use balsa wood to lengthen the wings.

But at that rate it might be easier to just make it out of those materials to begin with and forget about the TH plane. Put that $40 to donor kits to make the cockpit and what-not.
If donor kits exist in that scale.

But as-is, take that carrying handle off and fill in the holes, repaint, and I think you might be surprised at how good it could look. If they made this to proper scale, it would be to big for anyone but Donald Trump to house and would cost around $500.

heh heh heh, awesome

 

[Wild weasel]

heh heh heh, awesome

I just had to say that

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

saw the "shark" at TRU today...its pretty freak'n big...but the F-14/16/18 are bigger, so that'd just look goofy even in the same room

 

[lancelot]

It'd probably wouldn't looks as bad next to a joe vehicle like a sky-striker or a conquest, but something tells me it'd still be kind of small.

if it was the size of a 1/18 f-14 it'd be proportional to the skystriker. It will be a little on the small side, but the c-130 is ALOT smaller than most people think.
