Hello Mike I am new, I wantd to say I like your products.

Just a recap but what kind of 1:18 aircrafts are going to be made by Bbi besides the hell cat?

And

Are there going to be any new release this Christmas?

Thanks

Patrick

is ther a pic. of a A-10 or F-4 or F-14 just want to know

Post by **aferguson** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 7:53 pm

there was a pic of an A-10 mockup by 21c which we saw about three years ago. Somebody may still be able to dig that up. Looked pretty sharp. Other than that all we've only seen is a roughly cut styrofoam A-10 BBI had at a booth a year ago. According to Mike they just did it to get an idea of the size of the A-10 in 1/18.

The hunger strike continues..

Can he explain the Hellcat? I'm sure they didn't go through all the work to make the thing pictured above "just for kicks".
And its a lot further there than the styrofoam A-10 was.

I'd LOVE a Hellcat for xmas! Go Iron Works!

i think BBI has been pretty quiet about the Hellcat. There's been much speculation about it being released but nothing official yet.

Thanks for putting up that pic digger.

Mike, you do have some of the best 1:18 articulated (besides PTE who still has THE BEST articulated 1:18 figures) figures on the market!! The detail is THE BEST, I love that their equipment doesn't have to be placed in 'holes', nothing to pop out of the holes when you pose them, and I'm VERY happy to read that MORE will be coming out soon!! It would be great if you could come out with some kind of 'stand' for them. I tried the 'Dremel' thing, but you've really got to have a steady hand!
I'm also hoping for some Germans, AND some vehicles!! Your competitor has vehicles that your figures can FIT in better than theirs! But your Sherman tank is the best!!! And I can only imagine how a jeep from you would look...

If you look closely at the picture (thanks Digger!) even the pilot couldn't believe he found a hellcat.

Dear Mike,

One of the Golden Dragon I bought a few weeks ago has a flaw in the left wing. I already sent a request for a spare part from Bbi.

The swirl is near the center of the wing close to where the fuselage and wing come together., it is hard to see in the picture but I took some close up of it.
I don’t know if the swirl is in the plastic or the paint.
It was like this when I bought it.
I was hoping you could look into the matter Thanks.
Patrick

The wing looks good to me. What's up?

Maybe Mike used photoshop?

I am sorry the picture does not show the swirl that well, but it is very noticeable in person, and it is there. It ‘s shiner then the rest of the wing.

Does your camera have a "Macro" button. This would put it in macrofocus which is good for taking close ups of this type of stuff (insects, etc..)

Yes it does, but it does not come out all that great.
