Re: BBI F-18 Sidewinders Review

Again I didn't want to create another thread on the same subject, so I revived tmanthegreat's old thread. Hope he doesn't mind. Got this Hornet awhile back but I didn't have the time to find the correct thread to share my photos. I use to have the Golden Dragon version but I eventually sold that off...

Re: BBi F-16 Viper/Falcon Official Thread

http://www.jetwashaviationphotos.com/siteimages/662%20Orange.jpg http://www.freewebs.com/jeffhead/modelbuilds/US-F18F-00.jpg It would be nice if BBi did other versions of the F-16 Falcons, like the F-16C/D Block 52. And for the F-18 Hornet, do the Super Hornet. :-) But that's wishful thinking on my...

Re: BBi F-16 Viper/Falcon Official Thread

I'm not much of an expert on F-16s, I am guessing it was more of a manufacturing decision. Maybe they had reached the max number of tampo printings to stay within budget.

Re: BBi F-16 Viper/Falcon Official Thread

Wow! I was searching for a F-16 thread or gallery and I found this. Must say it's been awhile since anyone contributed to this. I wanted to share my F-16 pictures and rather than starting another thread I thought I'd add on to this existing one. Well here's my story, I use to have the original relea...

Re: JSI F-14 Tomcat Pros - The Good about the Tomcat

I am already aware of the notorious landing gears. :-)

Re: JSI F-14 Tomcat Pros - The Good about the Tomcat

Yes it's definitely better than the original spotty cat paint scheme. I believe the previous owner was a professional modeller. The landing gears were the original plastic gears. It's just that on each side the gears had these small tabs that were locked in place, both were stuck and they both felt ...

Re: JSI F-14 Tomcat Pros - The Good about the Tomcat

Sorry for reviving an old thread. I recently acquired a second hand VF-14A Jolly Rogers, I had been looking around casually for one at the right price for the longest time. Then by chance this pop up on my radar and I had to get it. Luckily the previous owner had repainted it, which saved me the has...
