Fun with a Blackhawk

Post by Sabrefan » Wed Aug 15, 2007 7:32 pm

I stopped by Target tonight, and I was excited to see two Blackhawks, and two Apache helicopters there. I had been wanting a Blackhawk, and I was looking forward to getting home and putting it together. I tell you I had not had this much fun putting a model together in some time. The BBI Blackhawk represents everything we like about 1/18th scale models. It is big, well made, goes together well, and most of all it is FUN! I highly recommend this model. It just looks awesome when you get it together. All this for 30 bucks! :D :D :D

I totally agree with you :D Its wonderfully big, holds alot of figures, and just looks cool! One can't beat the Target price either! Now if only they included the miniguns and a working wench...

Man, If every one of my Blackhawks came with a working "wench", I would be set!!! :lol: :wink:

Seriously, you truly can not beat the value of the BH, especially at Target prices. If there ever was a 1/18 scale aircraft that appeals to both the collector (fairly accurate details and dimensions) and the "mommy I want that" crowd (playability and durability), the Blackhawk is it.

Now, where is that SH/HH variant Mike? (Yeah, I know, wait and see.)

Sabrefan,
Don't know if you collect figs but if you ever needed a few figs it's now. Grab some Nightstalkers to crew the sucker and maybe a few Spec Ops guys for the back. :wink:

Just make sure you watch those blades. They will sag in a major way if not supported. You have been warned!

The Blackhawk (and Apache too) are retailing at Target for $29.99 USD 8) This more than beats the $60 price of both items online and when they were at TRU - essentially a 50% discount! In fact, the FOV 1:48 Blackhawks are going for $25 at Target, and while that's not bad, you could pay just a little more and get a huge version of the same helicopter :wink:

Is there any difference between the BBI Blackhawk and Pavehawk? Or is it just the paint scheme?
