WHAT DO YOU THINK IS NEXT FROM BBI IN MODERN
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS NEXT FROM BBI IN MODERN
Well. Now that we've had some great intel from 21c, i was wondering what their arch rivals (BBI) may be planning. Info on BBI releases is very difficult to come by. The only good thing about them is that when you do hear of something new, it usually is for sale within a couple of months or less (like the sherman and mustangs were).
I think that we are likely to see some great new WW2 stuff from them but i'm wondering about the future of their modern line.

hhmm..
Well, the poll should be what aircraft is next from bbi since aircraft are the only choices, but in the end this is more of a wish-list than a betting man's poll, right?
I did not comment on the zero poll b/c aircraft is not my bag so I had no right swaying the results, but I would buy an A-10 in a heartbeat. It is more for the land guys anyway really....no dog fights in those bad boys.
As was mentioned, bbi is not afraid to produce a large plane and charge a large price. Imagine what 21C could do with a $90 plane like the F-16? Unspeakable frankly....I would have to start collecting planes. However, since it is bbi's current domain (huge modern jets) I would hope they hear us out and release the A-10.

A-10
If bbi visits, as the used to do, they should hear us loud and clear. They know what we want them to make in WWII aircraft (cough cough ZERO! cough cough). And just the same, they should know what we want in our modern aircraft. They managed to beat 21st to he punch on producing modern aircraft, which is not to say that I don't think a 21st version of some of the bbi aircraft would not sell too (a la it looks like the bbi P-51 is head and shoulders better than 21st's). But, look at the Little Bird. There is no way 21st could compete with that chopper. bbi has a chance to pick up some major sales ground if they can beat 21st in making a killer 1/18 A-10. It seems to be the most logical next step.
