Model Forum / General / Models / May 20071/18 Airplanes & Such
Went to Wal-Mart today and as always cruised through the toy section looking at the diecast and such. They had a modest selection of 21st Century 1/32 aircraft. The one which caught my eye was the P-47D bubbletop. You know I had to purchase it. Put together it looks pretty good, not as good as a well built model but at least as good as some of my early work. From 2 or 3 feet it looks really good. I am wondering about weathering it a bit for fun. I am sure tempted by that 1/18 F-104 that was in a post the other day...sweet! >Went to Wal-Mart today and as always cruised through the toy section looking >at the diecast and such.

At least my Walmart HAS model kits (and paints and glue), while local Target and Kmart no longer have ANY models or supplies. >> In article <gf9Me.9731$0E5.7602@fe05.lga>, "John X.

And uphill both ways! Bill Banaszak, MFE ;) >> >> my local squallmart just dumped the entire model section. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >Bill Banaszak, MFE >;) it's always steak yesterday and steak tomorrow. but never freakin' steak today. Just more evidence that our modeling is becoming a minority activity, not in the mainstream the way it was in the 50's 60's and to some extent the 70's. >> my local squallmart just dumped the entire model section. >> there is nowhere in hicksvill to even buy glue. it's 80 [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Bill Banaszak, MFE > ;) > Went to Wal-Mart today and as always cruised through the toy section looking > at the diecast and such.

Lots of potential there...also gotta build some ords, though. If they ever come out with a 1/18 F/A-18D I'll HAVE to jump on it. The Stuka is another one that has my eye. And they even sell an unmarked version of the F-16 that you can get decals seperately so you can decal-your-own if you like. Lots of Guard markings, as I recall.

Yeah - that's the only thing I haven't worked out yet...how easily they miy come apart for re-working. Their Stuka is just plain cool looking.

They have a lot more of them out there than you would think. Signature- Rufus >>>>think the stuka would be easy to repaint? love to do a >>>>yellow nose with lots of goodies.
