Small Scale Military Headquarters

Hi everybody,

I just got my package with the repaint of the bbi Zero. I keep the models in their boxes so I am sorry for just providing pictures of the Zero in the box. Greetings from Germany.

There were no discounts on the pre-orders at BCA over the Labor Day 10% sale I found out when I went back to order some more stuff.

It's pricey is why I only got one, and I needed a Vraciu Hell Cat anyways, so I got free shipping at least, by pre-ordering the two together.

I am looking forward to the Soloman Zero too. I have two of those I pre-ordered when they first appeared. I think they were available at $49 when they first were up.

COOPER:

Do you have any updates on the BBI 1/32 F-104 and any other upcoming BBI planes?

Thanks again for your info.

Hey Dragon53,

no, I don´t have any updates. Last info I got is from July when the german distributor of bbi told me that they have difficulties to say when the F-104, Wildcat and Phantom will be produced and shipped. Since then I have not heard anything.... Sorry.

Greetings

I ordered this version just because... I also would rather have the Solomans scheme so I guess I will buy that one too if it becomes available.

You know that first Zero release from BBI is missing the white stripes on the wings to match the ones on the fuselage right? Well I painted mine on and it looks WAY better now and also it now creates more distinction from this new green version. 21C has both of these schemes covered in 32x with the Zeros.

"Phantom".....are you talking about 2007's F-4J Phantom II, VF-84 Jolly Rogers....or a NEW Phantom?

>>> I had pre-ordered one myself , last year , probably when most everybody else did.

* ........ and that is what I have planned to paint on my "green Zero" too. The white diagonal stripes on the wings. Yes , the 2- 32x X-treme Wings versions are perfect examples , both of which I have.

* This is just one of the many paint schemes for the Solomon Islands version that bbi is currently trying to decide on but not official yet.
