I'm completely lost however, don't know how to make or what to make of the recent supposedly BB2 realeases. They are different compared to the above mentioned, different in a worst way. The inconsistencies and all the flaws already pointed out and discussed in numerous threads. What gives????!!
Oh well, garbage is garbage!!

BB2 is 90% the same mold as what Aeroclassics and Kermit Bird uses, some people say it is an earlier version. The
10% where it is not the same mold as Aeroclassics is in the engines and landing gear. Now further proof of this, can be seen by the complete mess BB2 made of the American Airlines B747-100 release and also the Virgin Atlantic release, the engines were just bad. However some of the BB2 B747-400 releases are ok, e.g. the JAL Cargo.
So as of now you are right it is very much hit and miss.
Collectors can do a few things, don't buy them and/or wait for Kermit or someone else to make it.
The problem I have with Kermit is a really like his product, it's awesome, the mold is great, but his product line looks to me, to be just an
unlicensed extension of Aeroclassics, where as the
Old-Real-Big-Bord [ORBB]was complete product diversification with Aeroclassics line, it is unlikely that Kermit would ever make the JAL Disney Sea even if it had not been made already or the Red Qantas 747-400 yes he would make the America West 747if it had not been made already.
Yes I know offically there is no link between Aeroclassics and Kermit but their choice of releases look very similar or follow a similar style. There is no harm in having retro stuff once in a while but IMO what made ORBB great was the special schemes others can care to differ. I hope the powers that be take this information back to Kermit. I would like to see ORBB go back to how things were.
