U.S. bombs and guided bomb would be my first choice. Then air to air and air to surface missiles. I think with the announcement of a possible Harrier jet in the near future a choice of load out would be greatly appreciated for the jet owners out there.

Yes, some Harrier ordinance/loads out would be great.

I can't wait to see how they turn out. Very much looking forward to loading out my Tomcats, Hornets, Falcons and hopefully the new Harrier. Thanks Jay for helping out the hobby.

Well now that it's official and Merit has said it will be releasing a new 1/18 scale Harrier AV-8B, I can't wait to get my hands on some spare weapon's load. Sounds like the stars are aligning.

One of these days I will be making the Hind.

It would be cool if I did not have to make the ordinances to go with it.

Perhaps we can make a deal. :wink: :wink: :wink:

Jay, have you considered making replacement ordinance for those who have lost/broken or missing ordinance. I have an F-16 I bought from a private party missing three of it's missles and two launch rails.

Could be a go if there is demand. Maybe you could cover shipping sending them down, and i'll cover shipping sending them back up? Feel free to post here, or PM me with what you have in mind.

Sorry about the dead quiet. I recently had a change of jobs so the last two or three weeks have been a bit scary with trying to find that new job. Today was my first day so I should be back in the work groove within a week.
What does this mean for No8 models? Don't expect anything for at least two weeks. I still have to tweak the bomb dolly and rocket launcher before the modern set as well.
