It is a bit overscale, which always bothered me because it was already such a big piece.

I'll take your word for it on the scale, I wouldn't know how to check it anyway

but you are right, it is a BIG piece, no question about that. One thing about the F-16....as modern jet fighters go, the Falcon is on the diminutive side in regards to overall size, and if we are talking about how big this model is...imagine for a moment how humongous the F-4 Phantom will be, never mind something like an F-14...

I must have missed free shipping

No more free shipping but it is down to $55. The Mustang is $35.

Digger for the lower price update on this.

Guys,
If you purchased this plane @ 59.99 and now it's at 54.99 - that's $5.00 bucks you can request a refund for. I bought 2 planes, so that's $10.00 bucks. If you go under HELP at the top of the Target sight and find on the left of the next screen PRICING. There is a CONTACT US place you can click on and send an email to Target's customer service to ask them for a refund. I did this recently with Amazon on a item I purchased and they gladly gave me back the money.
Try it!

Thanks for this thread. I would never of found the F-16 if I did not see this here. I ordered mine a few weeks ago and it is one of the best modern 1/18th aircraft I own.

This guy is good! I have no idea where he has the time to do this and hold a regular job!

WOW!! Absolutely by far the best custom I've seen, and $610!!! Good for him, his work is well worth it. Hopefully BBi see's this, if this isn't motivation for them to hurry up with this scheme then nothing is, would be a top seller for sure!

This guys name is jack. He actually did these because I ordered one. He liked the first one so he did 2 more. There are 3 in existence. He has also done a desert camo one for me which I will post pictures of later. Here is another picture he sent me of the birds.

I LOVE the custom 1:18 P-51B he did. I don't understand why he didn't change the incorrect squadron code on it though.....

Glad to see BBI finally doing a Thunderbirds repaint

I don't think I'll get it, but it should look incredible!

I would love to field a squadron of both the Falcon and Hornet but think I will save the room for other 1/18 offerings.

The both look very exciting though.

For those who bought the BBI F-16 Wolfpack, what's your detailed review of it?

Post by **p51** » Sat Dec 15, 2007 2:01 pm

I can't wait for the Thunderbird F-16! It'll look great next to the Blue Angel I have!

dragon53 · Post by **dragon53** » Sat Dec 15, 2007 2:09 pm

I'm still hoping someone can post a review of their BBI 1/18 F-16 "Wolfpack"...

Thanks. Can you provide a more detailed review?

I'm thinking of buying it, but I'm turned off by its big size.

My one real dissappointment with BBI's F-16 is the fact that the horizontal stabilizers are just that---horizontal. They should have a few degrees of anhedral.
The gun port and refueling port, and the iron bombs could stand a bit more detail, too.
However, at this point I would like to thank the 1/18 Gods and BBI for the very fact that there IS a 1/18 scale Falcon.

Oh, and thank Target for putting these boogers on sale!
