BBI Planes vs 21C

Post by Threetoughtrucks » Wed Feb 22, 2006 12:43 pm

Are they really better? That's the drift I get, am I correct?

My only experience I have is with the BBI Sherman. I like it just as well as the 21C but really like the BBI better for the accessories packaged with it, sooo are the planes that much better than 21C?

That and a few odd threads walk through this but the way I see it there is little reason to debate for us non-AC guys who decide to dabble. :oops:

The only Modern planes are bbi (and if you have seen a 1:18 F/A-18 in person then you know it is pretty damn impressive) so if modern AC interest you there is only one option. :wink:

The only German planes are 21C, so if you want luftwaffe well then there you go. :D

The only Jap plane (so far) is bbi, so if you need a PTO bad guy that is another no contest.

The 104 (which is amazing) and the AT F-86 (which looks just as awesome) fall in the middle nicely.

Outside of the F4 & new P-51 comparisons (which can be found throughout the board) it really comes down to which AC interest you.

Unfortunatly, this could get a bit ugly... everyone has their own opinions anyway, I don't think you'd find a true concensus of who likes which company better, soooo I'm going to lock this one.
