Taking Orders for Lighted, Special Edition 1:18 F-14

The Weekend of Heroes Show scheduled for December 5th in SoCal has commissioned a Special Edition 1:18 F-14 wired for cockpit lights, nav lights, and faux exhaust lights. There are only two hundred fifty of these Tomcats produced and the price will be $280. These pieces were made for the fans coming to the show. But what if they can't sell them all and what about the folks that can't make it to the show?

That's where we come in. Weekend of Heroes may sell us some of these Special Edition F-14s IF and I repeat IF any are unsold once the show is over. They'd like me to commit to a certain number but I won't do that unless I have the orders in hand. So, if you'd like a Special Ed F-14 give us a call at 209-848-4690 and we'll put you on the list. I'd estimate chances of us getting a Special Ed F-14 for you are better than 50/50
Does anyone know yet if the "name of the show" will be on the side or USS Theodore Roosevelt? If it has the show I'll pass, but if not I'm game - anyone know for sure?

This is the main reason that I was planning on passing on this special edition as well.

I just placed my order for a Special Edition Tomcat. It will likely become a custom!

Good bye (insert name of show here)...
HELLO BLACK ACES!

Awesome! Are you making a later version or the high viz 70's version?

tko211, can't wait to see your finished version. I actually just finished reading Wilcox's Black Aces High about VF-41's exploits in Kosovo. If I had your skill with an airbrush, I'd probably buy me 2 or 3 of them myself.

I am going to make the High Viz 70's Black Aces version with the white bottom, elevators, and the wing control surfaces. I think it's such a cool scheme and I have a good feeling that an S2 scheme from JSI would be a sundowners so I don't want to paint that one only to buy one from the factory later.

Sounds great Tko, I look forward to seeing it!

Anyone know if Historic Aviation will be carrying the special edition Tomcats? If so I'll get one. I emailed them this morning and have not got a reply yet.
