That is amazing, I'm glad I've got one on order from Military Toy Shop. If this is what they can achieve on an F-14, I just wonder what their F-4 would look like and yes....the A-10 as well... By the way a little off- topic- Aki- who's that girl in your avatar, I keep looking at the Tomcat but I'm s...

The Testors kit is a re-issue of the kit produced by Armour back in 2003 when the company dabbled briefly into kits aside from their finished pieces. I've got the Jolly Rogers one too and their F-117 kit. I've had Franklin/Armour F-14's they're good to an extent- if you can get a Sundowner that's th...

This is a big hello to you Jason from the United Kingdom. Just wanted to say best wishes on behalf of my fellow Brits who are very happy with our Me-262's, F-86's. Look forward to whatever you're producing during these challenging times. I never forgot how you posted me a free F-86 wing because of a...

Yawn....still feeling very inspired despite the positive comment so far. Well I need yet to get that Me 262 from 21st. Hoping I can stumble over one here in the UK....XD isn't that big here, but sells well at airshows. However I think there is something to be said about the 1/32 range. The F-104 loo...

Anything new at all....?

I don't know just feel that there isn't much to talk about let alone get excited about in respect of new 1/18 planes. Certainly the economic gloom makes everyone think twice about raising capital for risky projects and relying just on a plethora of repaints to keep the liquidty engine of commerce oi...

If Admiral do the Phantom it would be quite amusing if their first scheme was Steve Ritchie's mount as 21st Century intended to produce....alas I believe that Jason is far too honorable a gentleman to adopt such nefarious behaviour.... On another note there's alot of activity in the 1/72 scale arena...

Use the above link and search for 1/18th scale kits - and you get Hobby Boss releasing a 1/18th scale Dauntless. Two versions to be produced.
I think we're entering the 1/18th kit phase......

I remember Jason saying that they'd produce a more refined and feature packed F-4, but I'm not so sure given the the offering from 21st. But hey it's all cloak and dagger from...

Hi

Just noticed that Bad Cat are no longer displaying the upcoming AT F-4 in the pre-orders section. Doesn't sound too healthy.

Yes Jason, feeling the need for a little speed and wings sagging under the burden of formidable plastic injected ordnance. Some with extended fuses to whet an explosive appetite for flying anvils in 1/18th......echo the desire to see more of the F-4 and the Sandy. No pressure, really, just an 'after...

You've got my vote Jason, I like the look of your F-4, thank you for producing this aircraft. Also looking forward to the Skyraider and all the schemes for that as well as the Dauntless. I have to admit I didn't buy the 262, as I'm more modern jets person. But most of all your smoker is the one I wi...
