BBI's 1/18th F6F.

They have new photos of BBI's F6F Hellcat on Bad Cat Aviations website. I will say this by looking at the phots alone that this will be my all time favorite 1/18th release. For a long time I wished that either BBI or 21st would release a big scale F6F and low and behold BBI comes through. And by the looks of it its gonna be a winner hands down. The detail is just awsome which is no surprise coming from BBI. The only problem I have from the photos is that the folded wings seem to be sitting to high. But that could be because its only a photo shot so I guess I will find out when I get mine. But other then that the BBI Hellcat looks like another winner from BBI and its only right because the Hellcat did have a proud history. A 19-1 kill/loss ratio, it made more U.S Aces then any other fighter in the U.S. It is my most favorite fighter plane of WW 2 next to the Mustang. So I cant wait to see it in person.

Thanks again BBI.
