Shadow,

I dont care about the Toy Fair now because my Hellcat is being made.

There you go MM

Just 10 days ago you said the Hellcat was "wishful thinking" and we had to remind you patience was all that was needed with bbi and that it was coming. Now maybe you should change your name to MightyHellcat

Mike, whats the bad news?
You (or Aferg) said there was good news, and bad news

I hope BBI releases their Hellcat in a British paint scheme. It looks great in that scheme.

I asked at the bottum of page 13 and he replied at the top of page 14.

Now if we could just get a Wildcat. How about all of Grumman's cats. Very cool.

I did say that didnt I digger. Well I was wrong and my "waiting" did finally pay off. As for changing my name? No way because the Mustang is is still my favorite fighter followed by the Hellcat and F4U so the name wont change.

And I have the same question Moth has. Now that we have the good news, whats the bad news? If its that the Hellcat dont have the folding wings I can live with that just as long as its 1/18th scale, which I'm pretty sure it will be.

And for Sabrefan,

I'm sure we will see plenty of repaints with this baby. And a British version may be one of them.

Thanks I did not see that, lets hope that we get some news about the A-10 at the spring late winter toy show.

I hope that with the release of the hellcat,new littlebird and the new figures that this means bbi is stepping up production and well see more showing up at toysrus and online.

Donald Emerson KIA December 25th 1944

Hey Donald Emersons P-51D! I always did like the paint scheme on his bird along with the Donald Duck cartoon painting. I wonder if thats the next paint scheme coming out from BBI for their P-51 series? If it is I MIGHT just have to pick one up. As for the Corsair repaint? I'm holding off on that one because I already have 2 F4U's as it is (Bunker Hill and Marines Dream). But nice paint scheme.

I am as excited as you MightyMustang. This is going to be one nice looking model.

Any takers?

Mike says that they will

Hey Mike, when will we see the Hellcat model?

It sure is Sabre. Now its time to hit the sack. Its great to end the day for me knowing that a Hellcat will be in my hands sometime down the road. And hopefully it wont be too long.

Night all!

The stearman picture is captioned Moorabbin YMMB (a hop skip an Jump from where I work, I here aero engines all day long, cool) .

Don't suppose you know Phil Vabre (Cessna 175A, Romeo Foxtrot Uniform) by any chance? He's often at Point Cook doing the ATC for the open days.

Boeing Bandit · Post by **Boeing Bandit** » Thu Oct 12, 2006 10:50 pm

For Spudkopf...cannot say I know him.
YMMB is where my birds live

Nice detective work!

Spudkopf · Post by **Spudkopf** » Thu Oct 12, 2006 11:07 pm

.........form what I hear, it is pretty expensive parking there these days!

You'd know Phil if your saw him, an ample sized man, always in shorts regardless of the weather (except the odd occasion when he's dons a his fly suit) and wearing one red and one green explorer sock.

Anyway I fly with him from time to time, to the odd fly-in here and there, he calls me Otto as in Otto-pilot

, our last trip was the AAAA Auster fly-in at Wang YWGT a couple of weekends ago.

By the way is that where Charlie India Alfa used to live when it was Drage's Air World
