The Badcat site has some pictures of the new BBI 18th scale BF-109G. It has awesome engine detail, and looks like a beauty!

where have i been i didn't know this was being made. wow can't wait when Target has these in stock. having engine detail is really nice.

Post by **aferguson** » Fri Jun 13, 2008 5:27 pm

i wouldn't count on Target. I'm not even sure if they will be carrying BBI anymore. As far as i know there is no major retailer for this. Maybe TRU but i doubt it.

Now that is what I am talking about,,,they should have done that with the their hellcat and more.

Very impressive. And they remembered the sand filter on the air intake!! And the antenna wiring!!!! If the production versions have the same level of detail in weathering and exhaust residue, it will be considered one of the best.
I wonder if this version will be another r-1 variant (under wing cannon)? I hope not. They were not as common as the standard variant.

Looks nice, and it doesn't cost $500. Count me in.

This won't be showing up at the major retailers, at least not this version.

Great news, huh gang!?!

This is a CalTek Distributors Exclusive (we're being told by CalTek), so you may not want to count on any Mass Market venue receiving these beauties any time soon.

Just our 2 cents.

Enjoy your Father's Day weekend Dads!!!

I must have it. I must have it now.

Post by **aferguson** » Fri Jun 13, 2008 6:57 pm

well you can't have it til august. The 'in stock' is clearly an error.

The pilot figure looks great also.

WOW!!!!

THIS IS GREAT NEWS. WITH PICTURES LIKE THAT I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THAT THE AC IS WELL ON ITS WAY TO PRODUCTION AND HOPEFULLY WON'T GET DELAYED LIKE SOME OF THE OTHER ITEMS HINTED AT BY OTHER MANUFACTURERS.

I CAN'T WAIT

It is nice, wow... I wouldn't mind owning one... I think I owe it to myself as a 109 lover... That is a beautiful rendition.

I just looked at it again. I will get a couple of these. The only thing, is that retarded Balkan Cross on the rudder rather than that crazy Nazi pinwheel. I would rather have them put nothing on there.

Guys I have to admit that when I first saw that headline on the badcat newsletter the first thought thru my tiny mind was "BBI is insane" releasing a 109 with all of 21c variants and paintjobs but when I went to the badcat website and saw the photos of the engine I quickly said "I stand corrected" This is definately a must have.

[+] > A pre-order @ $54.99's not bad at all for an AC w/ detail like this , especially since there's been nothing offered like it before , save the Me262 . *

Sweet looking plane! Despite all the 109's that have been made, this one is a must have.

This is a must have for me. I started collecting hardly two years ago and never had a chance to buy the 21c version.

grunt1 · Post by **grunt1** » Sat Jun 14, 2008 11:46 am

Engine and even better, the pilot look fantastic. Hopefully they will sell the pilot alone too like they did for the hellcat so I can swap out all of my 21C "bug-eye" pilots..

Guess I don't need to finish my project now...

The 109 is a nice piece, but considering that BBI probably won't do another desert variation, was it really too much to ask that they do a "Yellow 14" Hans Joachim Marseilles? He was the top ace in the desert Luftwaffe at the time before his death and known as the "Star of Afrika"
