electronic tomcat
This electronic Tomcat will be 280 US $ and a special edition for a trade show / exhibition . You can see the details on BADCATBLOG.
It will be fully illuminated (COCKPIT + NAVIGATION LIGHTS + AFTERBURNERS !)
The problem now is that Merit is very annoyed with the avalanche of complaint concerning the finish of this model. It was obvious that it was "Work in progress". And it's true too that they should have posted more pictures of finished models.
After beeing for so long in the dark it's good to have some early news.
I really would like to thank MERIT intl. and the web retailers to keep us in the loop !

If you post Work in Progress shots, it's best to post one of the final product so folks don't jump to conclusions. All Merit needs to do is post a picture with the final production Tomcat and maybe edit the verbage in regards to the weathering. The dang thing has shipped already.
And yes, I emailed Merit with my concerns.

I think I said it before,
If Merit has the time to edit their photo pages all of yesterday, last night and today with the huge concerns customers are having with the paintjob, is it that hard to find a completed photograph of the production Tomcat from the JSI factory?
Why haven't they done this???? Seems something very easy to do to set folks' minds at ease. Unless there really IS an issue. I really hope I'm wrong and not getting a suprise when I open the box.
I'd like to know exactly what I'm getting before this thing shows up at my doorstep. THAT'S THE CONCERN.

A special edition would appeal to some depending on the scheme and final price. I would hope that perhaps JSI would be inclined to utilize the mold for several future releases. Production may be hard to speculate with the current economy. I look forward to the arrival of the Jolly Roger and will just take a wait and see attitude about any others. Scheme and Price will be a factor.

The Special Edition Tomcat will be available to all vendors at the first annual Christmas "A Weekend of Heroes" show in California on December 5th. Any outstanding pieces will then be made available to dealers on the 6th who have purchased the regular F-14.
Just what exactly the 'extras' will be is unknown but we are told by Merit more information will be coming soon.
Cheers!

Hi CW4USARMY! We have several folks interested in us getting the SP version for them and since we do have the regular version coming we have access. It all depends on what happens with the 250 pieces allocated to the show vendors. Our belief is that Merit will not sell all at the show and we hope to meet everyone's requests. Would you like us to add your name?
We aren't sure if this is the venue for this as we always adhere to the retailer rules on this forum. Although, this is an unusual set of circumstances and there are no guarantees to retailers at this point.
You may contact us directly at [email protected] or by phone at 503.679.0919.
Cheers,
Matt
