BBI 1/18 hornet

Anyone owns a BBI 1/18 hornet?

Does it feel more like a toy than a model?

How detailled is it?

Is it worth having?

Thanks for you comments.

Well never seen one of those but I did see the P 51 old crow when I was last down to the states, and it was cool so I can just say that the 18 would be too!!

The Spitfire Emporium in Kitchener had one hanging from his ceiling. Looked really nice but too pricey for me.

The old crow went for 44 us how much did he want for the 18??? I see some of his stuff is very expensive there.

Yeah the F- 18 and the F-16 were both 99.99 if memory serves. Too rich for me.

Nice models but they do take a lot of space. Still trying to find a home for my 1/18 F-104.

Re: BBI 1/18 hornet

The BBI 1:18 F-18 is a great one to have.It has great wing support and the detail is great.
It's much more to scale then the BBI F-16 IMHO.
I have 2 of them.

This one is my favorite...


Here is my Marine F-18 and you can see the BBI F-16 in this one.

 

George Preddy was........Just the greatest fighter pilot who ever squinted through a gunsight.
He was a complete fighter pilot......Colonel John C. Meyer Deputy Commander of the 352nd.

Re: BBI 1/18 hornet

They're in the $100 ballpark. I'd say they're worth the price.

I checked back in december and they were sold out. They were asking 130$. On ebay, they go for as much as 175$ + shipping. They are kind of hard to get I guess. For 100$ I would probably get one... Anyone knows a good source?
