Being that the F-86 and MIG-15 are under secrecy, and that you handeled the F-86 prototype..... Can you tell us anything about it? Does it have features not found on the admiral toys version? Most importantly though, how much can we expect to pay for them? I know the WWII birds and the cobra go for ...

Hmmm since the push for more realism is detail is taking a step up, will the durability we have come to know and love remain the same?(or increase? a decrease in durability would not be good). I'd love to be able to still play with these things and recreate war scenes ya know? "The toy for the big b...

Did anyone ever do the scale conversions to see the dimensions of a 1/18 F-14? I would but I am bad at math.

-At one point years back, there was a rumor of an A-4 skyhawk for the 1/6 scale line. Being that the plane is smaller than the starfighter and fairly popular, was it ever planned for the 1/18 XD line? -I think I read an interview at area 21 where 21st was thinking about making an F-4 but the mock up...

Can you post some F/A-18C pics and comparisons too? I never saw the BBI falcon and hornet side by side. It'd be interesting to see what features the falcon has over the hornet, being that BBI made the toys a year apart. Thanks in advance!

FOV 2006 VF-154 Black Knights F-14A Tomcat

Guys at a few sites a FOV 1/72 Black Knights tomcat is listed for preorder. From the pic, it LOOKS like a new tool. But it was from a distance so I am not sure if it is just a repaint of their existing mold, though it does look more refined and accurate. Anyone have more detailed info? Does it still...

BBI F-16 pics? Anyone?

Hey guys, I did searches but didn't find many F-16 pics. I know some of you have the BBI F-16. Can any of you post pics of them here? I MAY get the F/A-18 but I may also get the F-16 in spring. I also went to P-51's site in hopes of seeing 1/18 pics but I didn't find any. And I have scoured webshots...

IF the A-10 on't be made due to tooling costs than we can assume what would be made next could potentially be smaller and cheaper to produce, with the big boys(hog and cat) being produced later. A-4? MIG-29? F-5? L-39? It also just crossed my mind that if BBI were to do a black tomcat, they have 2 l...

KAGNEW there is a TON of paint schemes man! There is a lot of popular recognizable squadrons. Sure it was the first teen fighter but the F-4 is tons older and yet we know even then the phantom would still be very successful. And the F-4's got complexities as well, the seperate 2 person cockpit areas...

2006-7 would be A GREAT time to make a tomcat....since it would be fresh off retirement and people would want to buy one for nostalgia's sake and the price for such a huge thing would probably be understandable.

Black Dragon, the glider you speak of did come out, it was released by Estes. I do hope either admiral toys, BBi or 21st does an F-14. It would be a FIRST for this market! And besides with the F-16 and F/A-18 already done, all we need for the rest of the teen fighters are the eagle and the tomcat! A...

Welcome to the boards Jason! How bout an F-14, F-8 or A-4? The F-14 is on the verge of retirement, it will be sorely missed, and would be a GREAT toy to have in that scale. The MIGmaster needs it due, and so far noone has made it. The Scooter is awesome, used by many nations, somewhat small, and has...

He sure did! F-8 had some really nice liveries. Hell NASA could even get an exclusive with that one, they did some of the supercritical wing experiments with an F-8!

Its unlikely this will happen, but if someone makes a 1/18 super Crusader......WOW.....

I'd love a VF-84 and VF-111 F-4.

I don't mind that this scheme never made it to the hornet, and I do think its awesome! It would be more fitting on a super hornet but as mike pointed out, BBI thinks its too similar to the legacy one they put out, so now super bug for us. Its okay, I understand and all. Nonetheless if someone wanted...
