JIM@MERIT: I just ordered a Coral Sea Dauntless a few minutes ago. My only complaint about the model is that it needs pilot figures. To me, a model plane, particularly as large as 1/18, is naked without pilots. For the price of almost $170, I think pilots should be included. If Merit cannot provide...

This product is awesome. I hold out for your VB-6 version. When can we expect it?

We should have update within the next 2 weeks and pictures will soon be posted in our web site.

We are relieved that our “Battle of Coral Sea” version of the SBD-3 has passed the test from most of you. We really appreciate that most of you managed to shift the mind set and accept the concept of Built n Painted Collectible model which is more delicate and fragile. With your acceptance, we will ...

Dear All The wait is over. We are pleased to announce that our SBD-3, “Battle of Coral Sea” has landed. Please check in with your favorite dealer next week to get yours. Please note we are already sold out at our end and we anticipate a quick sell out for this item. As always, we appreciate your pat...

aferguson wrote:Jim, for a suggestion, you may want to try producing a T-34/76 version. You may find it even more popular than the /85 is.

Thank you very much for your suggestion.

We thank you for your support and apologize to have raised so many concerns,.... Yes, there will be a model kit of the SBD-3 released as a model kit. This is our way to overcome the high cost of tooling and allow us to present all new tooling item to 1/18 collectors, as well as an item to invite mod...

We are starting this thread because we would like to have more direct feed back on our 1/16 line of tanks. Any comment(s) on the Tiger I and the T-34/85 will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. 1/16 scale T34/85 http://www.merit-intl.com/month/mil-86002.htm 1/16 scale Tiger I http://www.merit-intl.co...

Merit have worked with Witty Wings and are exited to introduce a new series of Natural Metal Finish / Hand Polished 1/72 aircraft. The first in the series is a 1/72 Red Tail P-51 D. Please follow this link to find out more and see the difference.

Jim, are you sure it comes with 12? I bought mine from Badcat last month when they first came out and it only came with 6. Might want to check that number again.[/quote] Hi CW4USARMY Thank you for your support. There are 12 B-25 with each of the Doolittle Raid version of the USS Hornet. They are pac...

Badcat has their preorder up for the Hornet: http://www.badcattoys.com/shipsandsubs.html They've listed it for $129.99 with free shipping, so a little cheaper than the shop above. Aparently, there are two versions of the ship: A Doolittle Raid version and a Midway version. The planes are sold seper...

MTS ad says 'canopy in open or closed position', which i take to mean there are two seperate canopies that you plug in, depending on which option you prefer. This is along the lines of what Jason said Admiral was considering and also makes sense given the plastic model kit origins of this plane. ht...

Very sorry for not being able to keep up with the post. Just to clear a few things: 1. This is Merit's own development and is not related to other development projects of the past. 2. Our SBD will have moving parts and not a static display model. 3. We are also anxiously waiting for test shots from ...

or AllGo hasn't contacted them with the legalities of it yet. You may well see the pre-order come down shortly. And i don't think it's JSI behind it. If JSI had the 88 molds we would have seen it before now...plus they developed their own packaging. This is somebody else's doing. Thank you for your...

I don't have the JSI panther, but I don't think any of the former 21st now JSI tanks or aircraft come with figures. You can order a tanker online..... http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/badcattoys_2162_24108398 .......but the uniform looks blue. :? That is why Merit never did import these figures. Wrong color...

Thank you Merit for excellent customer service and making good on your promise to provide a updated ordinance package for the comic com birds. Thank you for the pat on the back. It makes it all worth it. We did open all 300 VF-154 received and did second QC before we send them out to our customers....

An reply was made to you at 1:30p.m. Please check your email and we will see what we need to do next. Quick answers to your 4 questions: 1.If the doors of the landing wheel well fun...

you guys bustin my bubble :D but i still think far better than the spots i sold 50 with spots only took 10 of these and already sold 4. so it will all work out Actually, these are part of the rejects that were sitting in JSI warehouse in China. Please read the declaration on JSI web site. http://js...

The VF-154 will only be available with the "lights" feature.and the total production run is 888 pieces for World wide release.

Will bring the Tieka Toys, OURWAR figures too.

I will not be there, please look for Cory. Hope some of you can make it there.

For those who would like to see the VF-154 in person, our company will have a display at the 2010 IPMS National Convention. We will also have the Iranian paint scheme F-14 at the show to illustrate the potential of these big planes for further detailing. The show will take place from Wednesday to Sa...

JSI is quite concerned about the eventual sticker price and are finding ways in how to keep cost down.

As for the IDF F-15,... the sole intension was to add more "color" in the convention booth rather than air planes in various tone of gray color. That's why they did the Iranian F-14 too.

Additional note for the 28 sets of VF-154 at Comic Con: - These 28 sets come with a hand reproduced resin set of weapons pack, reproduced from the mold making tool masters. - The steel molds are being made for the weapons set and a plastic injection molded set of same weapons will be sent down the r...
