1:18 F-16, not BBI?

Forgive me, as I don't often post in the 1:18 forum, as 1:32 is my main vice, but I saw this:

F-16C

And I don't seem to recall hearing of it before. For the record, I found the link here on our board, in the B/S/T forum. Who knows more about this than I do?

Yeah it's weird, they have the BBI one listened next on their website, for $20 cheaper!

Seems weird that they don't mention BBI at all in the description, and in fact, mention another company, "Historic Aviation". Something seems funny here...

And the BBI version on L&H's site:

Maybe Historic Aviation had made a special order for the planes before they decided to do a wider release? The dang tail numbers match so it's the same plane.
