Thanks for sharing!! It sure looks nice, very cool indeed but the pilot figure comes with the Harrier or was it purchased separate?

I love it. Very very nice.
I want to get one too but the shipping cost kills it for me.

Glad you appreciate it, the pilot belogs to the
BBI - 1/18 scale F/A-18C Hornet (Golden Dragon)

Unfortunately the figure desn't fit in the cockpit .

Nicely detailed 1:18 plane.....

It appears that the hovering nozzles swivel...that's so cool ..

Thanks for your pics......I enjoy when you display your modern planes on the roof of your building with the old world backdrop

Btw if your a fan of 1:18 ......then here's a link to a likeminded site you may be interested in .....as well as the pic below....showing the 1:18 Manu's discussed.

Grecog seeing your 1/18 Harrier......one thing led to another...and ....well I bought my 1st 1/18!!

Since one of my themes is Jolly Rogers....I was able to get a used 21st Century Ultimate Soldier.... Kepford Corsair...original packaging included ... eBay total including shipping...$99 USD

Below is a link to a review once done a long time back....after reading the review I have the information that will prevent me from having the initial problems the reviewer encountered....(I hope )

It appears to have great detail and some weathering and battle damage as in the review.

There is only 2 other 1/18's I can see myself buying....F-14 JR and the Blue Angels F/A-18.....both of which are currently out of my price range on EBay....I'll just have to wait till a bargain price shows up

Do you see what you started ?

Hi there mate, great to read about your decision, now we all have got to wait to see the photos you'll post 4 good.
As far as regards the F-14 JR, that I've renamed "gattone", translated from in italian "big cat", is currently displayed on a pretty elegant glass small-table in my bedroom.
The version I got is the lighted 1 and trust me, it's awsome...

BB you're in trouble now that you've got your 1st one.
I hope you will get the F14. It's the holy grail of 1/18

Here's a DAC forum thread....about this 1/32 electronic wonder....apparently it was a kit pieced out over time included with magazines by Hachette in Japan.

Thanks for the pictures.

I put mine on a "Lego display stand": see

This weekend also 2 other 1:18 planes arrived: the P-38 Lightning Putt Putt Maru and the F-16 Wolfpack.

Very nice collection Leo.
I see you have some 1/18 copters. You should get the Super cobras if you can find them. They are awesome.

We used to be able to get 1/18 planes here in the UK, but all the dealers stopped doing them years ago.

there's a thread on the hachette part-series. in short, it costs north of $1k so for that price, one would expect it to be awesome. and for those who insists their calibre wings tomcats are perfect, please look at the position of the blinkers at the top of the vertical stabilisers.

back back to the topic. monsieur bb, so now you know what it feels like to be on the receiving end instead
