Anyone preorder the new BBI 32nd scale F-4J

Post by Sabrefan » Sat Dec 01, 2007 9:54 pm

I was wondering if anyone preordered the new BBI 32nd scale F-4J Phantom? I know it is kind of expensive, but it sure looks awesome. I can't wait to get mine. Love those NAVY Phantoms! :D :D :D

Wasn't there a thread for this already some ways back? Oh well, the F-4 is coming out as early as this Wednesday (Dec. 5) and I'm too lazy at the moment to hunt down the old thread :lol:

However, yes, I have one preordered from BadCat and I'm excited about the release as well! When I get the plane in the near future, I will post a detailed review and pictures :wink:

I had to choose between getting a 1/18 Corsair or pre-ordering the Phantom. I had to go for the Phantom. I love the Navy Jolly Rogers scheme; I am so glad they didn't go with the AF camo.

I can't wait to get this baby! My only question is does it go in the 1/18 room or in the 1/32 WWII room?

Put it in the WWII room.

Time warp anyone?

Like you I'm also glad they did not go with an USAF scheme (no offense to anyone out there who is a fan of AF Phantoms). The Navy squadrons had some really cool designs on their birds (Like VF-111 AKA "The Sundowners")

I just checked the BCA website this afternoon and the BBI F-4s are in with preorders shipping :D

My shipping tag has also come in, so I should be getting the plane in a day or so. I'll post a review!

BadCat has pictures of the actual product up now (I like how they do that) and the plane looks simply amazing!!! As good as anything 21c can do :wink:
