Ok. I know we all know about not getting them while we can, but I wasnt sure how exclusive it really was. Sometimes they say that just to justify the price or to get people to buy them quicker.

I sure hope so. That was such a great scheme with a rich history and heritage and would look good along side the Luftwaffe CL-13 and the silver Sabres.

Welcome to the forum and well done on the dioramas. I wish I had been able to do the work you did at your age. Hell, I have problems being able to do them now at 36, but for a different reason. Enjoy the time now, for wives are not too fond of Battle of the Bulge dioramas in the living room. Silly w...

Opinions on the Kounoike Zero

Does anyone have an opinion about this particular aircraft? Since BadCat doesnt have any history of the plane on their website, I dont know much about it. Also, BadCat states that this is a European Exclusive. How exclusive is it? Is this a good one to buy and add to the collection? Just curious and...

The last post got me thinking. I think a 1 18 scale AC-130 Spectre would be awesome. I can picture it hanging from my ceiling banked at an angle. If ya gotta dream, dream big I say. Any other thoughts?

I think it would be awesome! I always liked watching them on the Spectres. Quite the weapon, like the 'Ma Deuce', quality never gets old or goes out of style, just keeps taking down the bad guys.

Good for you! There are some good deals out on Ebay if you are willing to put the time and effort into the patience it will take. That and a lot of praying that someone else isnt wanting the same plane you do. I personally like the DDay stripes, although they were only on for a short amount of time....

I buy that! I have four of them and wish I had more. Definitely one of my favorite planes. Probably second after the Mustang. Probably due to the fact it just looks cool.

I hope you are able to get that plane. Its one of my favorite versions of the Stuka. I sure can imagine that bird raining destruction down on the British in North Africa.

Hmm... regrets... Well, if there was any regret, it would be that over the years I've spent so much darn money on all this junk :lol: I mean, when you have a box full of figures and think that each one cost $5, then you have nearly 30 aircraft and think that each of those cost on average between $4...

While I dont expect to see any new 21c planes in the near future, I really dont mind repaints as long as they are coming out on a regular basis. There are so many possibilities that I think that doing that could keep the money flowing in. However, since Im not an expert on how things work with this ...

I regret not buying the Scottie Dog Stuka, the Nightfighter Bf-109, the tropical Bf-109 and the other two FW190s when they were just sitting there collecting dust on Wal Mart shelves. If I only knew then what I know now... :cry:

Owning 11 of them, I feel that the BBI mustang shows more details and varies its offerings between the shiny aluminum and olive drap, but the 21C have a better, smoother look to them. They are both good and I dont mind displaying one of each next to each other. It may come down to personal preference.

I think this is one of the best deals out there. The pictures just dont seem to do it justice. Once you see it in real life, you can see that the paint job is one of the best done. Mine was impeccable and was even better when you consider the price that I got it at.

I think this is one of the coolest and most detailed aircraft that was ever done in 1 18 scale. It would be well worth the money to pick up and I am glad that I did. It will go well with my White 8 and White 7 when I finally get my "Man Cave." Now to just get the Yellow 7 and complete the order.

BadCat took off the "Snarling Cat" from their website. I wonder if they sold out of them. When my wife picked one up for me, she said there were only 10 or so left. I wonder if that was true. Does anyone know if they only made a certain amount? I have seen other sites say there were only 2000 made.
