I don't think a comparison in this case to a much smaller, much less expensive 1:72 scale model is appropriate. The marketplace dynamics of much larger and more expensive model such as this will be different.

Corey, any idea when we might see a picture of an actual painted version of the F-14 model?
Fred, really looking forward to the JSI 1/18th scale Grumman F-14 Tomcat.

Assuming this project is on schedule I would think one might be available by the month's end. If we don't have one by months end, then that would suggest to me that the October release date has probably slipped already.

COREY STINSON:

2 questions about the F-14:
1. Do you know if the paint scheme is low-visibility or high-visibility?
2. Are pilots included or optional?...if optional, when and what is the price?

what are you guys being charged for shipping on your preorders? I'm trying to get an idea of how much this will be to canada. The box size is under the priority int'l size restriction, so the only real thing i need to know is the weight, and then i can determine shipping cost.

I'm guessing it will be about 10 pounds, no more than 14. Probably closer to 10.
i never met an airplane i didn't like...
