Some good looking 1/6 crew. The accessories have come a long way since GI Joe.

And just picked up the Huey yesterday from the same guy. I would be very happy if I could convince him to sell me the F14 Black Knight lighted version that he has.

Great 1:18 helicopter collection! I've got all the same ones, plus a couple repaints here and there. You need to round out your collection with a BBI UH-60 Blackhawk, the BBI MH-6 Littlebird, and BBI MH-6 Nightstalker. The BBI Littlebird is a gem...

Both BBI and 21c did a fantastic job on their helicopter gunships overall. The 21c Supercobra is one of the best aircraft in 1:18 scale in terms of function and detail. The Huey has held up very well over the years and displays just fine with the newer toolings. Never understood why BBI put the Apache's canopy doors on the wrong side... Its a glaring error. You can even see where they tooled the hinges for the doors in the proper place on the starboard side of the canopy framing!

Thanks tmanthegreat. He also offered me the UH-60 Blackhawk & Pavehawk but I passed on both of them. He may sell me the Little bird though.
