Re: merit Announcment

Actually, the single seater comment was a question that was asked by a member here. This was Jim'/Merit's response.... http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/6763/61103408.jpg Btw, The F-15 in the photos they took show two seats. If he had suggested a single seat with twin exhausts then that would lead...

Re: Pre-Orders for new BBI F-18

BBI facebook has been noted of that misspelling. Let's hope they really correct it.

Re: A realistic option for merit

Every company making a run for A-10 went out of business. I guess it's the lost Ark. :D
A-4,F-5E and MiG-21 haven't been attempted. They are simple,small with great schemes and should cost way less than F-16 and Black Hawk. Who's with me?
After MiG-21 is done, the Phantom won't be far.

You should sell the design to JSI or BBI! More people can get it for reasonable price.

Re: BBI announces f-18c

These photos just rain on my parade. I won't pre-order. First, the nose gear cover is as wrong as the previous hornets. They don't bother to fix it. How hard is it to make three new pieces? Second, WTF with the crooked nose number? WTF? Can't tell if the ventral landing gears are stronger. In previo...

Re: The new 1/16 BBI F-16C, who already get it ?

Same here. I've sold my old F-16 for its 1/16-ish scale. It was ~36 inches long.
If this one is really 1/18 as advertised (~33 inches including pitot tube),I'd like to get one.

Re: Hobby Master MIG-21

I bought Iraqi MiG-21 first. MiG-21 says to Iranian F-14: You complete me. Then I have to get a bad cat. :lol: I also bought Corgi VC MiG-21 to accompany my HM Phantoms. Corgi should give up F-4 series. They can't match HM's quality and price. http://inlinethumb11.webshots.com/46474/2334116580071430...

My two cents

I used to sell on ebay for profit, not anymore. Ebay isn't a friendly place for professional sellers. Skyrocketing fees, unappreciative buyers. They want things ridiculously cheap. Your sweat and time mean nothing to them. Since you have produced it already, I suggest you to use "buy-it-now" for $60...

Thanks for the clip, Jack. What's with the music? Waterfall? lol

I fixed the broken gears, so there is no need to send it back to you. I connected two parts with a plastic straw, so that it remains steady and still rotates.
