Instead of wasting the time of hundreds of Special Forces troops in the hunt for Bin Ladin, we are just going to send him some Chinese made toy models of some of our weapons. Let him eat some lead paint!!!

]]> <![CDATA[Dubai Air Show Has Most Amazing Aircraft and Weapon Models Ever]]> My wishlist for models like these:

B-52 Stratofortress

P-51 Mustang

F-14 Tomcat

Starscream, both transformed and in robo form.

Kaiser-Machead's Chips Ahoy!

]]> <![CDATA[Dubai Air Show Has Most Amazing Aircraft and Weapon Models Ever]]> There is a whole sub industry making these models.

They are often given to sVIPs and suchlike and can be very expensive.

You can tell the real ones from the mass produced easily - and they are often wood/composite construction.

Too bad there isn't some sort of gizmo or technology to help with that, like a feature on a digital camera or a rotate button in an image editor.

And when does the Gizmodo attack helicopter arrive? It will surely help quell all the sarcastic commenters around here, like… um… me.

]]> <![CDATA[Dubai Air Show Has Most Amazing Aircraft and Weapon Models Ever]]> I always assumed when the posters were talking about "Gizmodo Towers" and what not, that they were in a sense, kidding. Know that I see lucky guys like Jesus bopping over to Dubai for an air show, the Giz really MUST have the funds to have their own tower! Either that, or independently wealthy contributors. Either way, its why I love this site.

Great coverage and photos, Jesus!

]]> <![CDATA[Dubai Air Show Has Most Amazing Aircraft and Weapon Models Ever]]> As a plastic model builder, all I can say is: WOW. Simply beautiful models. However, I am having a slight problem with some of the photos you took in portrait orientation. As this is viewed on a computer, and in my case, a notebook, it's very difficult to simply rearrange the screen. I'm sure it's simply an issue with the website itself, as Jesus, your photography is spot-on. Just a suggestion.
