I bought four defect-riddled BBDs in the old box and would have preferred that 21st Century spend its time and resources on quality control instead of new boxes...a triumph of style over substance.

CGI dogfight: P-51 vs. BF-109

Here are P-51D scenes from HART'S WAR (Bruce Willis, Colin Farrell). The first link is a scene of a CGI dogfight between a Tuskegee P-51D and a BF-109. Note the B-17 trailing smoke in the background. The second link is of real P-51Ds strafing a German train carrying American POWs. http://www.youtube...

SABREFAN: I want an F-4E in Vietnam camouflage with the Tigershark nose paint and Steve Ritchie's F-4D (21st Century's 1/18 version is too big). I'd be interested in Duke Cunningham's F-4J, too, but the USAF F-4s are my #1 wants. It's been asked before: Will the new F-4J be sold by ToysRUs and Target?

BBI's up-or-down option, to me, is better than 21st Century's P-51 Mustang retractable landing gear which has large finger tabs on the gear doors to open them with. This ruins the P-51's authenticity and makes it look toyish.

Thanks for the great photos.

I wonder if the F-4J will be sold by ToysRUs and Target.com.

What are the chances of ToysRUs and Target.com getting the new F-4J?

I have 4 questions about BBI's new F-4J:

1. Will the F-4J be sold by ToysRUs and Target?
2. Will there be an F-4E in Vietnam and Tigershark nose paint?
3. Will there be a Duke Cunningham F-4J?
4. Will there be a Steve Ritchie F-4D and F-4E?

Thanks
