| Re: CW F-14 vs. BBI F-4J
I'm asking because the BBI F-4J is #1 on my "to buy" list. I'm thinking of adding the CW F-14 to the list. I'm not that familiar with diecast, but the FOV diecast tanks and planes I've seen in stores don't impress me. I'm wondering if the CW F-14 is a "must buy" like the BBI F-4J. Admittedly it's comparing apples to oranges (1/72 diecast vs 1/32 plastic), but I'd like to hear from owners of both jets. | From my POV, any large scale BBI plastic jets and props that have been done so far are very nicely and abundantly detailed with decent accurateness even for a toy. Comparing BBI to CW is like comparing "apples to oranges" scale-wise, but you already knew that. I wouldn't hesitate to get the BBI 1/32nd Spook for my simple reason that it is a really nice bird to display hanging from your ceiling, and hopefully a MiG jet model (to dogfight with) by 21st or BBI will be coming down the pipeline!  |
