Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 knight 26, THANKS!! I was at home on dialup and even then i waited for pics to load. It was well worth it~~!!!! I am probably getting a 1/18 jet for my bday since this x mas i think I am concentrating on some japanese transformers. However I am random so who knows. Tha loadout on the BBI hornet irks me. At least the power team F-18, was a 2 seater, and had 2 HARMs, 2 fuel drop tanks, 2 sidewinders, and 4 mk82s on dual palettes(ALL REMOVABLE!!) Oyut. I have that and for a joe sized toy that was 10$(somehow i got a spring discount) it was WELL WORTH it. Even though I can no longer fold the wings since I braced them due to accidental if not very stupid breakage on my part. Very awesome still though. The BBI is wonderful though. I just wish it had a better loadout. Do ANY legacy hornets go to war in that loadout? Man. I wonder if the weapons from the falcon are swappable. The falcon at least has a better loadout and totally reaks of "MUltirole" which is awesome. Outside pics would be WONDERFUL, especially if you can shoot some comparison pics with other gijoe jets like the skystriker or conquest. Quote
Vince Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 Wow, a scheme that fits the model. Of course, IMHO it's pure dumb luck. They could probably pick another dozen states, all with Blokc 42's and 25's...PS--NY is the 174th Wing. I was talking about the 174th Squadron. (Since there can be multiple squadrons in a single wing, I usually refer to the squadron number, not the wing.). NY(Syracuse) is the 138FS, 174FW. 174FS is the 185FW, Sioux City, IA. With our big black vampire bat tail. since we were on F-16 for a moment, I've got if no one minds.. Does anyone know if any company is planning on a block 60 F-16? Quote
David Hingtgen Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 With there being only 1 squadron for the Block 60 at the moment, not very likely. Also (externally), it's little more than a Block 40I with some IRST pods on the nose---just take some from a Flanker kit and add to one of the many Israeli Falcon kits and you've got it. Shin--the loadout on Knight26's plane looks very typical, especially for Desert Storm. Though HARM's would be even more common, 4 (or 6) Mk82's is quite common. Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 It just looks so plain.....I mean I duno the falcon loadout is simply better than the hornet loadout on BBI. But, sparrows on the intake wells would INSTANTLY change my mind. Hopefully BBI mkes some big F-14s with TONS of weapons included to make it a bombcat or interceptor. Heck add in a TARPs pod for armed recon. Knight do you think there would be minimal retooling for BBI to make a F-16D and F/A-18D marine? Quote
Vince Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 thanks, I could even tell the first time I saw a pic of a block 60 Quote

myk Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 Thanks for the 'pics. I haven't had the nerve to take mine out of the box yet, as that thing is huge... Quote
F-ZeroOne Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 Knight 26, nice table - did you make it yourself with the aircraft instruments on the corners? Quote
Knight26 Posted May 16, 2006 Author Posted May 16, 2006 (edited) Um F-ZeroOne it is just a regular table with those instrument panel coasters you get at airshows or online. Also nice custom man, any chance it can mount Sparrows or AMRAAMS on the ventral recesses? Edited May 17, 2006 by Knight26 Quote
Graham Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 If BBI made a 1/18 scale Eurofighter Typhoon, I'd be all over it. Graham Quote
Warmaker Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 If they made a 1/18 F-14 Tomcat... I'll have to clear a room for it Quote
F-ZeroOne Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 Um F-ZeroOne it is just a regular table with those instrument panel coasters you get at airshows or online. 399926[/snapback] Oh, okay - sorry, I hadn't seen coasters like that before. Quote

Knight26 Posted July 25, 2006 Author Posted July 25, 2006 I never cease to be amazed by the wonderful work you put into that kit Rob Doctor (I am assuming that it is your from ARC right?). It looks like you even did some additional work on the cockpit, care to show some pictures there, and of your wonderful undercarriage work? Quote

As far as the cockpit goes, I only recently added rear view mirrors and "oh-sh!t" handles to the rim. I previously added the motor and mechanical arm with a wired up deckplate about a 3 months back. I also added a few things to the cockpit including the FCS control panels for both sides, throttle system, ejection seat handles. I can definitely add the Landing Gear Detail pics here. They show the new strut arm and new actuator bars. Let me scrounge them up. By the way good to meet you! R Edited July 25, 2006 by VF103 Quote
