JSI Pappy Corsair

Post by cornbreadfred » Wed Jul 15, 2009 9:44 pm

I was wondering who plans on getting the JSI Boyington Corsair? I like the paint work on this version, so I am getting one. Just wondering who else might get one.
Fred, really looking forward to the JSI 1/18th scale Grumman F-14 Tomcat.

Pass. My Bbi checkboard Corsair is enough to suffice for my collecting tastes. I'll pick up the P-38 down the road.

Like jdowd, I'm waiting on the Tomcat.

I have the Bunker Hill, so I won't be getting it. Don't get me wrong, if the hobby room was any larger I'd consider it but I am saving room for a P38 ... and an all OD paint scheme at that.

I already have the BBI Daisy June, so I'm passing on the JSI Corsair, too.

I agree with TMan - this scheme should be on the bbi Corsair. The 21C Corsair is one of the painfully outclassed and dated 21C AC. I am really down on JSI for the moment - repaints at higher prices with nicer boxes? If 21C tried to do this there would be hell on this board.

Oh don't you worry. Hell is coming, once that new company smell wears off.

Mark my words... :shock:

I might get one because the paint is significantly different, but I'm in no hurry because I have the first Lucy.

Like was said, the BBI Corsair is much better. I've got one Daisy June and would buy another scheme given the opportunity.

With the Pudgy P-38 coming out, I'm hoping the prices drop on the other ones. I prefer the camo versions and missed California Cutie in particular.

I'm passing so far.

I had a preorder for the P-38, but cancelled it.

I like my original Pappy Corsair (the Badcat exclusive) too much to get another one.

Besides, like the other members, I've got to save for the F-14 and other big jets. Those are truly unique and will be difficult to pass up.

I'm thinking about it. I completely missed the 21st Corsairs...but I gotta save for the F-14.

I have to get the Pappy bird cause I missed out last time and I loved watching the show as a kid.
