DIGGER:

Thanks.

It appears the new 21st century 1/32 P-51s don't have the canopy slot...or pilot oxygen mask or weathering.
You win some and you lose some.

DIGGER:

Thanks.
One more question: does Donald Duck have the slot behind the canopy (like 21st Century's 1/18 P-51s) so the canopy can slide?

ROGUE:

So you're saying the real Donald Duck survived the war?
Also, after Emerson was KIA flying another Mustang, what was Donald Duck's combat record?...Was it assigned to another pilot and given a new paint scheme, etc.?

Again, do BBI's P-51 "Killer" and "Donald Duck" have the same pilot?

Does BBI use the same P-51 pilot figure in both "Killer" and "Donald Duck"?

Great photos.
Badcat's info on Donald Emerson and "Donald Duck" is that Emerson was shot down and KIA flying a different P-51.
Question: so what happened to "Donald Duck"?

RMOORE46:

Looking at your photos, the new Mustang:

1. Doesn't appear to have any weathering.
1. The pilot doesn't come with an oxygen mask.

Is that correct?

VMF115:

Thanks. Can you provide a more detailed review?

I'm thinking of buying it, but I'm turned off by its big size.

I'm still hoping someone can post a review of their BBI 1/18 F-16 "Wolfpack"...

The new box photos of the Tiger are a lot different than the Tiger photos on my Abrams box.
The Tiger photos on the Abrams box are a lot better.

For those who bought the BBI F-16 Wolfpack, what's your detailed review of it?

TMANTHEGREAT:

Thanks for more great photos.
Two questions:

1. Are you going to do anything about the crooked pitot tubes? I noticed Badcat's F-4J photo had crooked pitots, too.

2. Do you own BBI's 1/18 F-16 Wolfpack? If so, how does the F-4J compare to the F-16?

AAE83:

Thanks very much for the info.
So I guess Bacat, Flyingmule, etc. won't have an after-Christmas sale?

I'm here in Texas and I'll be at Target Saturday morning. If I find an FOV 1/18 Tiger or Sherman, I'll post it here.

TMANTHEGREAT:

Great photos.
How much was your FW-190?

For BBI 1/32: 1. F-4E Phantom II---Vietnam/Tigershark nose paint 2. F-4D Phantom II---Steve Ritchie 2. F-4J Phantom II---Duke Cunningham 3. A-6 Intruder 4. F-15C Eagle---Desert Storm with an Iraqi "kill" 5. F-22 Raptor---operational version 6. P-38 Lightning---Richard Bong or Rex Barber 7. P-47D Thu...

SHIN DENSETSU:

I agree. I was hoping for an F-4J with some combat history---specifically Cunningham's (although his prison sentence may have been a stigma). From what I gather, VF-84 flew F-4Bs in Vietnam and transitioned to F-4Js after they became part of the 6th Fleet.

VMF214:

Who did you buy your F-4J from?

Big Beautiful Doll's pilot is a Big Ugly Doll.

(I've been looking for a BBI pilot to put in my Big beautiful Doll).

PANZER_M: It's been mentioned on the FOV 1/18 posts---I bought a FOV 1/18 Abrams and on the back of the box are shown the prototypes (i.e. non-production versions) of WW II tanks such as the Sherman and Tiger I, both in 2 paint schemes. Someone mentioned his friend has already seen a Tiger I in a Ta...

IFLABS: I went to 3 Wal-Marts. I bought 4 Big Beautiful Dolls and all 4 had defects (1-1/2 glue smear on wing, big scrape on black tip of tail, missing screw covers on right fuselage, very thin red paint on prop hub, missing parachute, cockpit assembly incorrectly installed, drooping flap, gouges on...

I contacted BBI to see if the F-4J would be sold by ToysRUs and Target. The reply was probably not, maybe next year. I for got to ask if the F-4J would be sold online-only by Target.com---like BBI's 1/18 F-16. It appears etailers will be the only source for the F-4J---which is a problem if you like ...

Concerning Target's price for the FOV 1:18 Abrams, I just called Target and gave them the UPC code for my Abrams and asked for the price. The toy dept. clerk said it's still $29.99---the same price I paid for it the day after Thanksgiving.

PHAID:

When I was at Target after Thanksgiving, the FOV Abrams was $30 and the FOV Bradley was $20.
