Small Scale Military Headquarters

More assembled Harrier........

The 1/18 A-10 project is still moving forward. The measurements/scaling has pretty much been done. The next step is producing a section to see how it turns out and then getting a breakdown sequence for all the parts. Staye tuned......

It's currently being scaled for 1/18 so that sample parts can be produced and reviewed before production.

Hopefully we'll see something after a few weeks......... .

Ummmmm did we forget about the F35. Single seat, single engine, multiple exhaust and it comes in a Marine Corp. version. Just saying. Merit said "somewhat modern", F-35 isn't even in service yet lol. It's the project to big to fail after all. The future Jack of All Trades and a Master of none.........

Leap of faith but I think we will all be surprised......in a good way........

oh great, we're back to the 60's then, so anything from the F100,F104, 105, 106, or A4. Harrier's only have one engine, just four ducts, so it's still a highly unlikely possibility. bah there goes the high hopes I had for something amazing! Why is the Harrier that unlikely? It fits the profile bett...

Harriers are technically single engine aircraft......they just have four exhaust ducts.......

I'm sure others feel the same way about WW II crap.....

If you go back through Aviatornut's Facebook page, he has some knowledge of what the new 1/18 jet will be. He made the comment that it is a "some what" modern jet. That would rule out the F-22.

Doesn't rule out an F-15 though.

We will see at some point though.

I think this would be awesome. May also need the proper racks made for some of the ordinance to mount accurately.

Air-to-ground ordinance would be good.

AGM-65 Mavericks and GBUs off the top of my mind.

Thank you for the response Jim. Can't wait to see/hear what it is....

Wait a minute everyone, don't get disappointed just yet. This F-86 may not be the 1/18 jet Merit is going to announce...... Merit specifically said "all new tooling" regarding the two new 1/18 aircraft they are planning on releasing this year when talking about these projects on their Facebook page...

I say the cockpit or an engine pod.....

No problem.....thought it might help.....

Thanks for the breakout of the two Birddog but you kinda made my point. The 10 ft difference in wingspans in 1/18 is a difference of only 6.6" or about 3" per wing... Not really because you still aren't taking into account the wing area difference which results in a thicker wing chord (more resin/p...

But remember the financial backer is not Santa Claus and yes pound for pound, inch for inch the B-25 and the A10 stack up about the same unless you consider making all the ordnance for the A10 or a detailed interior of the B-25. Actually, the A-10 is only bigger in one area, the length by about 5 i...

You guys are funny :lol: In all seriousness Im sure that you guys who want an A-10 will get one but you must consider what you are really asking for. This is like us WWII guys asking him to make us a B-25 or Ju-88 not to mention the ordinance. We all saw what went into the Ho229 being made and this...

God forbid Pickel do anything other than WWII German..... :roll: I'm sure the same painting and shipping price can be done with this project coming after the A-10..... :wink: Here's your A-10..... http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/images/products/in/large/MCT10013.jpg Can we have a Natter now? :wink: E...

I'm sure the same painting and shipping price can be done with this project coming after the A-10.....

Im very biased as I have no interest in the A-10 at all but it does seem logical to tackle a smaller project such as this before starting such a massive and time consuming project, especially coming off of the King Tiger builds.. The Natter can wait this time...........the A-10 has waited long enou...

Hate to say it but I doubt we will see the Su-27 (J-11) in 1/18 scale. If they are balking at doing an A-10 or F-4 in 1/18 scale because of size and cost, the Su-27 is a pipe dream. I would bet the new jet is something along the lines of an A-4, F-5, or maybe a Harrier.

A jet would be awesome......

Hope that Merit will at least confirm that a jet is coming even if they aren't ready to tell what it is.

Makes since after what I read from Aviatornut's Facebook page.

Yep, it's an old post.
