This is precisely the issue. The RLM issued a requirement for a bomber and the Hortens built something else. There's a reason the model has forward firing cannons. The aircraft shows the complete disconnect between the industry and the military. As a technical achievement, it was a remarkable...

Not a bomber: http://airandspace.si.edu/collections/artifact.cfm?object=nasm_A19600324000 The 229 suffered from that problem that bedeviled many late war German "advanced" designs - the technology was not well matched to the mission. It's a remarkable design, to be sure, but was it the basis...

Perhaps the biggest question about the 229 is whether it was at all suited to its mission. How many flying wing fighters have we seen since? There are obvious advantages (and some significant disadvantages) to the flying wing as a bomber, but the scale moves significantly towards the...

Of course, what "we" really need is the officially licensed Porco Rosso line!

Awesome!! Have to say 1/30 would be preferable to 1/35, but I'm still in.

The I-16 and BT-5 are favorites of my collections. I'd love to see more airplanes and ground-crew, but that's also true of the WWI line as well.

Too bad the Condor Legion Stuka didn't pan out. Though what would really make my day is a CR.32.

Sold!

I'd like to get $60 ea. for the armored car and the tank and $25 for the Flag bearer. $140 for all three. Shipping at cost.

That was definitely the case with the Macchi (which is beautiful). I guess it's a case of 1/28 figures with a 1/30 aircraft.

Their figures are oversize relative to their planes. As I'm more of a FL and JJD collector, it works well for me.

Not to detract from the seriousness of the topic, but I had a formative experience with the Time-Life WWII series. In 1978, at age 8, I was fairly fascinated by WWII (my first movie was going to see Patton at the drive-in with my parents at 3). My parents received a Time-Life ad in the mail for...

Sold!

Excellent condition. Ship is all Wood. Only four of the figs have been out of the box. I'd like to get $300 plus shipping at cost, but am open to reasonable offers. I trade on eBay as Pterofred if you'd like to see feedback.

Thanks, but those are out of stock. I had luck with two of the others in the grouping, though.

Looking to round out the grouping. Willing to pay $150 each.

I'm in! {sm4}

Sorry I missed the heads up - that'll teach me not to clear out my PM inbox. If anyone else has the 0035, 0026, and 0027, I'd pay at least $100ea. for them.

Thx - This is what is happening on the top shelf now.
