Well this and few other places helped me make a decision on the Bbi planes I bought. As for detailing them, I did not, I am all thumbs it was not always like that. 
I am also a big fan of Robotech and when I say this I know I must get some, but not at this time. I broke my 32 bottles of quarters in Jack Daniel’s bottles to buy the planes. 
Back in the day…..the 80’s I used to collect Mcross models a few at a time. I mostly had to order them out of Fine Scale modeling magazines. LOL I am getting back to my roots of collecting again.  Sadly I don’t have them any more.   
As for showing up with my Bbi Aircraft I would rather show up with something then with nothing at all. Besides we all like to look at cool pictures of stuff. At least I do. 
I am also looking to see if any one might have some after market weapons for 1:18 scale aircraft.  
Thanks to every one
