Unbelievable. $772.00

Post by Black Lion VF-213 » Mon Jun 16, 2008 8:33 am

I had been watching this BBI F/A-18 Jolly Rogers scheme on ebay. I can't believe anyone would pay this much for a toy/model airplane. Especially when it doesn't represent anything true. VFA-103 Jolly Rogers flys Super Hornets not Legacy Hornets and they've never had an all black scheme, not even when they were flying Tomcats. I like this jet, don't get me wrong, it's awesome looking. Would be kickass if the Jolly Rogers did paint a Super Hornet all black as a showbird.

Hey, sometime I love my collection even more! :-) :-) But then..... I would not sell any of it anyway! But at least prices like the last black F-18 are a justification for our hobby. These planes are not just "toys" as some may call them, they are investments! ;-) ;-)
