Good news.
If you are going to do a diorama.

I will have a tough enough time just displaying the plane.
I don't think that they will sell too many of these.
I like,and appreciate the idea,but not much of a market for these,in my opinion.

I would rather JSI concentrate their efforts into making the F-15,and Su27 a reality.

This is awesome news

Oh, great news.

"My sources tell me pilots for the F-14 are in development and should be here Q1."

Wells, I'll have to wait until then to order mine. Not going to incur in silly additional shipping & handling costs unless I have to.

OTOH, you'll be glad to know that Bad Cat has eased restrictions on shipping to Spain: Spain Out of the Bad Cat Dog House.

See, I don't live in a banana republic anymore. (Tongue firmly in cheek, everyone knows it's a banana constitutional monarchy!)

good news.....i'll definitely pick these up. I hope they do WWII flight deck crew and vehicles too.......those would be really great.

I would get them for sure and I won't be buying the F-14 either!

How cool is that..

And the even better news is that whether it's JSI and/or Merit and/or BBI that they can design and sculpt new figures that at least from the photos look pretty good.

* I wouldn't count on them making WWII Flight Line/deck Crew & Vehicles , any time soon , IF @ ALL ! ! !

.......... just an observation

v MG :p51:

How exciting, I will buy many to go with the two complete squadrons I am going to build.

very nice!

Very Cool! Well it had to happen... You're going to make big jets (1:18) your going to need ground crew!
We know 21st did have plans for a Corsair ground crew... but, uh stuff happened.
TKO had some insight into what was to come.......Aircraft, Armor and figures.
I hope JSI listens to modelers and collectors and doesn't go off in one direction leaving the rest behind. Modern is great but WWII sells.

DocTodd · Post by **DocTodd** » Sun Oct 25, 2009 8:11 pm

Those look pretty cool. I must say there are a good number of post WWII planes that would be great in 1:18. A-7, A-8, A-10. It would be cool to see SEPECAT Jaguar, Mig 29, Mirage. Just to name a few.

I am still on the fence with the F-14.

These do nothing for me.

Post by **aferguson** » Sun Oct 25, 2009 8:44 pm

ah c'mon, pH. Can't you imagine yourself down on the floor, pretending it's the deck of a nuclear carrier with your Tomcat and these accessories all around it....you could make jet whooshing sounds..

or pretend your F-14 is coming in for a landing with one of these figures guiding him.

1/18 bliss.

Nope.......If he gives in he might have to build a full sized flight deck....LOL which will result into a full sized hull and tower

I'm down for these as long as you can buy at least some of the pieces separately rather than one big box. I don't think I can find space for the flightdeck bit... Though I must admit it'd be a neat way to display the Avenger I have.

I'm down for the figures though for sure. Simply count me in. Probably the equipment too.

As far as I'm concerned they're as cool as modern infantry figures. My nephew's currently a greenshirt I believe. If I have my Navy jobs straight in my head.

supersonicfifi · Post by **supersonicfifi** » Mon Oct 26, 2009 2:41 am

after reading the merit & badcat news i am very optimistic about this whole deal !!!!!

I am just getting more and more worried about the display space ....

here is my updated wishlist : Su 27 , A10, F 15 and F4 phantom
My fancy wishlist : RAFALE, mirage, F100 & F8 crusader...

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Mon Oct 26, 2009 7:04 am

Very cool! I would be down for them as well. My F-14 will be on my display table (at least as I currently envision it) so it will be neat to have the ground crew to go with it.

JohnLumley · Post by **JohnLumley** » Mon Oct 26, 2009 8:13 am

Modern aircraft carrier ground crew & support equipment.

This is going to be cool.

I hope they make it.

I am in for several sets.
