Re: Most wanted reproduction bbi Elite Force 1/18 model
I'd love to see a repaint of their Corsair in Pappy Boyington's VMF-214 "Lucybell" markings or Ira Kepford's VF-17 "White 29" markings. I know 21c did all those schemes, just they would look even better on the superior BBI Corsair tooling! I'd also love to have seen another repaint of their excellent M4 Sherman in something not winterized as well as woodland camo versions of their LAV-25 and M1 Abrams. Another Kiowa would be nice since they only ever did the two schemes and it's a rare bird. A revised AH-64 Apache would be cool, this time giving it the correct canopy and rotor hub.
But sadly, the Elite Force line seems to be on its way out, so I doubt we will be getting anything new anymore.

Little Bird helicopter.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity
Re: Most wanted reproduction bbi Elite Force 1/18 model
A Chuck Yeager "Glamorous Glennis" P-51D and a David Campbell F6F "Minsi III" would top my list. I would have to think if there were any others not already mentioned.

I also would like to see PTO Sherman tank along with bbi USMC figures !!

Romor has it that bbi will do small production run for some items.

One of the never released bbi USMC figure

Re: Most wanted reproduction bbi Elite Force 1/18 model
That bbi Marine is the first I've ever seen, heard, or thought possible. I had no idea those figures were even considered. What a loss....
As for most wanted, I'd be happy with a FAA (RAF) F6F. Or bbi's P-47 that was in the background of one photo and never seen again.

Re: Most wanted reproduction bbi Elite Force 1/18 model
I don't think bbi has P47D.
Re: Most wanted reproduction bbi Elite Force 1/18 model
F4U Corsair: Pretty much what TMAN said and a FAA version late war all blue scheme.
F6F Hellcat: FAA camo or all blue scheme, and a F6F-5N.
A6M2: Solomons version prototype that is on the database website.
P-51: Flying Undertaker, Miss Bonnie, or Cheesecake Chassis.

Re: Most wanted reproduction bbi Elite Force 1/18 model
I'd go with the Bf 109, North Africa camo scheme.
I think BBI should have made 1:18 German figures. If they were done like the rest of their figures, they'd
be the best ever made!

Agree 100%, with the addition bbi should continue making carded WW2 figures of all types. There will always be a market for WW2 history, rather that be from collectors, history buffs, or casual buyers looking for a little realism in their toys. BBI was the only company to make a British figure, and it's impressive (and now very difficult to find).

Re: Most wanted reproduction bbi Elite Force 1/18 model
I definitely agree about a Thunderbirds F-16! (If they can get the colors & glossy finish correct). A Canadian F-18 is a no brainer especially in commemorative markings, like the 2015 'Battle of Britian scheme', I also think they should start cranking out 1/32 F-4 Phantom re-paints to capitalize on their popularity in smaller scale diecast markets. Endless great schemes they could do....

Wow, I never knew about the USMC figures. That one looks outstanding! Where did you find it and were there other prototypes with pictures?
