Small Scale Military Headquarters

I've heard nothing but good things about the bombcat.

I suppose I should answer my own questions: Planes that grew on me: the Admiral White 7 Me 262 grew on me a lot more than I had expected. While the nightfighter had such a glorious paint scheme, I had some qc/fragility issues with it. The grey scheme has grown on me. Tman, you've answered some of my...

As I rotate planes on display on my shelves, I find myself occasionally pleasantly surprised. Some purchases made several years ago seem less impressive now, others I find I like even more so as my appreciation for them has grown. Since the holidays always bring out the optimist in me: what planes (...

Questions:

Any word on the armament kit or second release?

Anyone remember what the time frame between the spotcat release and the black knight release on the F-14 was?

It looks good. Haven't decided if I will pull the trigger or see if there is a second release.

Well, the Merit website updated with the same pics that popped up on facebook awhile ago.

I'd love to see more like the one Bee posted.

Patience, I suppose.

I'm playing the wait and see game. It's possible the one rep might not fully know the whole picture.

Bee, what's that from?

Because that's damn pretty.

Hopefully, they will have official pics up soon and can get a better look.

Then the reason to go from a prototype with one to a product without is exceedingly silly.

The lack of a gun pod is disappointing, especially when a previous prototype had it. Meh, we'll see what the final prototype looks like. But at the price point I'd prefer not to have to go after modifications. rdit: Then again, I half wonder if the person you spoke with knows the difference. THat co...

Pics up.

No mention of strakes or gunpods, I shot them a message. Might hear from them on monday.

SDCC is this weekend.

Crossing fingers for news.

Hey Bee- quick question- was there confirmation at the most recent show on the lack of gunpods? There were pictures up from a Asian toy festival about a year ago that looked like they might have been added or in the works. Just curious if this was news since then, as I also hadn't heard about the Au...

Any word on the load out?

Likely the last news we'll have on it till SDCC, but theoretically we'll get to see it all armed up then.

Theoretically at least.

Looking good.

Wish they had the armaments on it.

Related, because it is christmas, a buddy dropped off an odd looking box yesterday.

Inside was the White 7 Me 262 from Admiral.

YAY!

Great looking bird., and I really like the somewhat sturdier plastic used.

and you got a fantastic deal on it.

Meh, if they don't get someone with mod powers in there fairly soon, what little discussion that has been started will be buried under the tide of spambots.

Thanks for the info gents. Yeah, I picked up the newer hornet release to go with my old wolfpack viper and noted it felt a little different in a positive way. From what I've heard about the blackhawk re-release it makes me vaguly hopeful that one day we might get an apache re-release. Probably just ...

I was switching around displays today and had the gear door on one of my 21st century ME-262's snap. Not too terribly difficult to fix, but it did raise the question: Aside from the infamous gear door on the F-14, how have the JSI/Merit releases been as far as plastic quality? 21st always felt more ...

Well then.

Projected launch time in february?

Looks like I need a new shelf for a harrier.

For those that have these in hand:

How do they "feel" scale wise? Closer to Star Wars/G.I. Joe or more at home as 1/18 scale?

I've been very impressed by the figures, just trying to figure out which direction the vehicles seem more inclined.

My only quibble with the images from SDCC were the lack of gun pods.

The strakes are cool and all, but I think I'd rather have the GAU and ammo configuration.
