Greetings

Finally was able to save enough money and locate one of these beauties. It was waiting when I got home today. It's a really sharp and nice airplane to say the least. Being such an airshow fan, this was a must have for my collection

Now my only problem is to decide what number to put on it! Tough Decision to say the least!

Looks good! I'm still debating on pre-ordering a pair of the Thunderbirds F-16. I don't usually collect jets, but hey, it's the Thunderbirds!

Congrats Eagle that is one cool F-18.

Hope you don't mind, I thought that I would tag along with your thread for I had this waiting for me at home today also. I finally was able to get this FW 190D-9 in a trade with C000per - Thanks C00per!!

That BBI "Blue Angels" F-18 looks amazing

I should have gotten one back in the day, but one can only have so much. Glad you were able to get one, Corey!

Greetings:

This airplane made the journey to school today and my students really got a tremendous kick out of it. I have two Blue Angels posters in my classroom so they know the airplanes and they thought this was really really cool.

It's my favorite model to say the least. It's the size I guess and it's just a great piece. Mine was perfect. My only wish was that BBI had made a special box for it with box art for the Blue Angels. But oh well.

The kids voted today on the number to put on the plane, #1 was the top pick.
