Hey guys

i've got to say i'm very happy i convinced my wife to let me buy a PTE blackhawk, for 16 USD she couldn't have said no.

i'm not sure she realized how big this kind of toys are

Julien,

Excellent news mate though she should be thankfull it`s the PTE Blackhawk as the BBI one is Actual 1/18th scale & a LOT bigger.

Still for $16 you certainly cannot argue with the price

Look forward to seeing what you plan on doing with it once you have it

hmm

my wife definitely don't want it hanging from the ceiling and i don't think i can spare more rom from one of my living room shelves.

hope i'll be able to open it and play a little bit with it

i think i'm gonna use th chopper harris figs as pilots and set a small SF/merc team aboard : 21st sf guy, 21st royal marin, custom bbi SF and bbi sf trooper

Though surprised you`ve NOT included any of your French SpecOps in that line up

actually i'm working on a way to add one more french trooper to the team.

the purpose is to have 4 bbi seal (i've already got these), 4 SF guys and 4 international troopers for a killer team of 12 members

it's weird i know but i like i like even numbers

i may be tempted to customize a old bbi seal or army trooper into a new SF guy (as i've seen on these boards) and put the brit with the frogs

i'm sure once your wife sees how nice it is and how happy it makes you she'll be glad to let you buy more.

Get some gonads Frenchy! I told my wife I was buying an "old truck" and brought home an 8 ton half-track. She gets her toys, I get mine.....Hey, Maybe thats why I've been married 3 times!

I'm glad that I don't have to run my 'defense' budget through another "governing" body for approval! haha!! (I hope I haven't jinxed myself by saying this!!!

My wife will usually give me some grief when it comes to buying this stuff...but I usually end up getting it anyway...and when it comes to taking a vacation? Well, taking a vacation isn't so hard for me as it is for other men, my wife tells me where, my boss tells me when.

Another tactic is to tell the little lady " Those planes are all for the kid"

He loves taking the pilots in and out. They handle a little abuse rather well. We have 14 of them so far. Hanging in his room, he has a P-51 and a P-47 chasing down an ME-109. Now his big sister wants some hanging in her room.

I used to tell my wife I was buying them for my classroom. Well, that's just a little white lie. I buy the 32x to hang in the classroom, while I keep the XD out in the man cave (or dining room table, or entertainment center, or my militaria display case

)
