Where did you find those aircraft at by GHQ? I'm having trouble locating them as I've been thinking of doing one myself!

Man, that's some cool stuff.
So, at 1/285th scale, how big is say, the M-1 Abrams? I might be interested in getting some of this. |

well, after checking it out and doing the math...I think the 1/285 will be a little too big to believe. However, I think I'm still going to try it, but use the 1/350 planes made for 1/350 aircraft carriers...not too much lost in size there. Once I do it, I'll check back in with updates.

  These are made by Tamiya for their 1/350 scale Naval Ships. I think I'm going to use these with some C-17s, P-3s, or KC-135s and try an air base. ~Z~

If you look, it does not have a small wing that pops out when the wings are swept back.

I am thinking about taking those tanks and build a tank base and shooting range. Might have a small airport.

You have to buy special paint but I just made them for fun right now. I will make more and make a base probably. I love the F/A-18 Hronets. They are so hot.

Found them!
If it's any help guys, I recently saw for sale (on E-Bay) 2 x 1:400 sets of military aircraft. One was USAF, one was USN. I can't find them now (AAAARGH!) but the manufacturers name was something like ARRIANI (though I,ve probably got that wrong!)
Imagine though a model of RAF Lakenheath with visiting C-5, C-17, or KC-135s!!! DROOL!  Wahey, they're back on auction, currently $15 dollars for 19 USN Aircraft, the manufacturers are calle Arii. Any help??? Last edited by DigitalMix; 12-01-2004 at 08:23 AM. Reason: Update |
