BBI P-40 and Corsair

Post by bravo5 » Mon Apr 25, 2005 10:49 pm

I noticed amazon.com still has the listing for the P-40, although it as listed as currently unavailable. Is this in the works or a typo and does anyone have anymore news on the BBI Corsair?

I think it was determined that they were typos, and were refering to either the BBI P-51 or the 21c XD P-51 and Corsair. Nothing has been heard about any more BBI WWII aircraft, though I'm sure some are in the works.

Amazon also has first series XD back up so you never know with that site....although it would be crazy if those were re-released :shock:

Aviatornut - Please, if you can, give us some glimmer of hope for the bbi WWII line. They made such nice pieces then disappeared. That's not fair!! Just let us know if we should ever expect to see any more armor or figures from them in the year 2005. :?: Thanks!

I too am interested to find out of BBI has anymore plans on coming out with anymore WW 2 fighter planes. They did such a awsome job on thier P-51 then bam nothing since, whats the deal? If they werent going to do anymore WW 2 planes then they at least could have done some 51" repaints or something. I think they could have givin 21st some real competition. As for them doing a Corsair? I say god no!! We have enough of those already from 21st. I want a Zero or a Hellcat. One of them anyway but they can do me a favor and make BOTH :D. But its sad to see a company with so much promise just dissapear and abandon the WW 2 fighter plane buisness especially after the success of thier P-51 "Killer".

Ya teamski thats all it is "Rumor". I'm dissapointed BBI hasnt followed up with another WW 2 fighter plane but maybe just maybe BBI will come out with a Zero BUT if they dont that wont surprise me either.
