Fox Hole toys say that this will arrive on Friday . Some other e-tailers say this will be out on the 18th. Who has the best deal on these with shipping? Does anybody know?
Other than customs that are out

This is the most exciting news in our beloved XD world as of yet.

DUE FRIDAY !!!!!!!!!!!

It'd be nice to know when and IF BBI will be bringing out that new repaint of the Sherman with 105mm

I'd like to add a couple of them to the side of the Good guys

Thanks Man,
I have to give credit to Stug 45 he found it and I thought it looked cool. So I had to have it.

I contacted the german distributor of bbi and got the information that for now the Me109, Zero and the 1/32 Dauntless will be released. Due to difficulties with production (whatever that means) they were unable to tell me when the Sherman, 1/32 Starfighter and Wildcat will be released.

But well, I am more than happy to really see the Me109 this month!

Greetings

Hi,
One word of caution folks. Our distributor was waiting for the decals to arrive, although the aircraft were in stock at their end. Make sure you get sent the decals with your order. We held up our shipment for this very reason.

BCA has free shipping over $100 so I asked them to give me a jingle before they ship so I can pick up some other items and save a few bucks. I got the impression they did not really want to do this, whether they really aren't set up for it, just don't want to give away the shipping or plan to drop-ship the item.

I am planning to give them the benefit of the doubt though and see if they remember to do this...

I just moved to smaller home and don't have room for this plane, but I REALLY would like that figure. If anyone displays their aircraft without the pilot, I'm making a standing offer to buy it from you. Thanks,

Can't wait...This should be a great one!

And just a reminder that although prices for our hobby seem to be rising daily, we are still very lucky....here is what we would have to pay to build an unfinished kit if 21st Century and BBI were not producing their 1/18 Aircraft.....

Also includes photo-etch detail parts. Mkgs for Erich Hartmann. Messerschmitt Bf 109G-6 HML from Czech Republic MSRP: $780.00 Your Price: $599.96

Anyone receive one yet? Reviews, comparison photos? I can see the pilot is awesome and the engine detail is a nice touch but I would love to see a detailed comparison with the 109G released 3-4 years ago.

I am having mine shipped from Badcat. Although I got the notice for its shipment on Friday, their alotment was actually delayed, so my plane didn't ship unitl yesterday. It is currently out for delivery in my town so I should have it by this evening. I plan on posting pictures and comparison shots shortly thereafter

Finally received my 109 from Badcat. Did anybody else have aproblem with the antenna wire? There were only two short pieces of string in mine. No way to make it connect all the way. I can get more string but was wondering if anybody else had this problem. Also, no decals included

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Tue Aug 26, 2008 7:02 pm

The decals came with mine, and there were two pieces of string. There should be the long one for the main wire and the second shorter one for the wire that connects to the fuselage.

pickelhaube · Post by **pickelhaube** » Tue Aug 26, 2008 7:09 pm

Board member Aviator Nut should have them today. Mine should be on the way. I can't wait. Kind of like a kid waiting for Christmas.

Get them while they are hot.

crap! Mine came with two short pieces, both the same size! Guess it was hard for them to stay focused while getting ready for the olympics

I'll have to contact Badcat about the decals

***UPDATE*** Found the decals stuck to the inside of the shipping box so want to give Badcat props for including them! (but both strings are still the same short size

)

BTW, Its a beauty!!

Thanks for the reply!
