BBI, on a big time roll :)

With the 32nd scale F-4J Phantom, SBD Dauntless, and now the F4F Wildcat, BBI is really on a roll. All of these models are first rate in terms of quality, detail, and paint. I sure hope they keep releasing fine 32nd scale models. :D

I am hoping they will release a 32nd scale Hellcat to keep the Navy theme going. :D

I'm still waiting for the BBI 1/32 F-104 Starfighter...

Saberfan I agree completely. I would rate all 3 releases as excellent.
Any repeat of the F4 would be awesome. If not perhaps an Avenger, Helldiver or possibly a Skyraider. If not, I am very pleased with the 3 they have released.

No no, I want BBI to either release another F-4J but this time in VF-41 Black Aces livery so my Jolly Rogers Phantom can enjoy having one of its sister squadron displayed along with it. Second, a 1/32 F-14 A,B,orD needs to come next. I've got almost all the 1/32 prop jobs that I'll ever want. I want more jets!! Bring on the Super Hornet, Eagle, and Falcon in 1/32 as well!!

I agree with you guys.
I want them to continue with more WWII Navy planes.

Hellcat
Avenger
Helldiver
Devastator (yeah right)

Maybe make some enemies like:

Kate
Val
Oscar
etc..etc..

I'm ok with some jets too.

Totally agreed :D Usually, I have no need to worry about an overly defective BBI plane. They may cost more than the standard 21c plane, but have better quality control all around.

I have to agree. After reading countless reviews of positive nature regarding BBI, as well as owning my F-4, BBI has set a high mark. I'm looking forward to owning all of their releases. I look around at all of my other planes everywhere, and then look at that Phantom... it's in a whole 'nother league.

I have equal love for jets and prop jobs in 1/32, I'm ready for anything! I agree Panzer M, a Hs-129 would be fantastic! Hell, a Blenheim would be beautiful too! I don't know why, but the look of those two aircraft sets me off. The far-forward position of the engines, the stubby nose, and the versatile ground attack and anti-shipping roles they held. A Blenny with a torp would be FANTASTIC!

I'm eager for the F-104, and praying they do German, Bavarian or Greek markings. =P

I just wish they'd be a lot quicker with their repaints. I got the Phantom because it's one of my all time favourite schemes, but I keep waiting for some Coral Sea or Midway repaints for their WWII planes.

Or even an OD green Army version of the SBD.

I'd have to jump on the "love BBI" bandwagon too fella's. The people there really know their s@#$. I own the F-4J and the 1/18th Donald Duck P-51, and the weathering and detail inside and out on both is simply outstanding.

As for the obligatory wishing, I could go for a La-7 in Ivan Kozhedub's markings, a tropical Hurricane with 40mm cannons, or if you prefer something unique; an Airspeed AS.51 Horsa Glider with a bonus figure of Major John Howard thrown in for good measure.

Sticking with Navy planes would be cool. I would love a Panther (or a Cougar). I am old enough to have grown up watching Panthers on TV. I always thought they were cool!

Maybe in 2009 they could shoot for 3-4 1/32 releases.

HS129B would be awesome!

Well, if you want to go down that road... how about one of the two previously most requested in 1/32 scale 2 engine planes, a P38 or a Mosquito?

P-38, please a P-38. :D

Seeings how were going there, a Mosquito or a P-38 would be outstanding.

I'm thinking a P-38 would sell better at first. I want an early Pacific theatre olive drab.

Day and night fighter versions of the Mosquito. The blue-gray and olive top surface colors of the British aircraft are my favorite.
