Dammit !!!!

I was thinking the same thing too. lol

Well we should be hearing back from Jim very soon hopefully regarding the announcement of the new molds as we're now into April. Can't wait!!!!

I think I can wait ONE more day for this one...

Probably a good idea since anything said or shown today could be regarded as an April fools joke.

That's why we did not make any post on the 1st. However, we are facing some delay on our side and we will still make good on a "April" announcement within April.

"within April" is fine! Thanks Jim.
Oh and I'll stop asking you about a ME-163.

Not a me-163!

So it is me 163

No.

Is this going to be a modern bird or vintage?

It will be one each if we can still count the FW-190 A-5.

This is excluding JSI, right?

JSI just announced that their next is the F-86 Sabre.


yawn, There's only a million of these already on the market, and removable gear?
bleh.



oh info @ batcattoys.com


was hoping for something that hasn't been done yet.

This is probably the first time I have been truly disappointed about a 1:18 announcement. At least make it an all new paint scheme

yea that is a disappointing announcement. Of course the mold must be the old admiral or the 21st one. Much easier to release this than make another complete one like the Dauntless

It's a nice looking plane but I could really care less, no sale here.

Here's the Bad Cat link for the F-86.... http://www.badcattoys.com/fsajetmajjaj.html

I'd like to see the FW-190.

While good to see a new 1/18 release, another F-86 Sabre is hard to get excited about.

Thanks to Jim@Merit for the updates, and hope that he doesn't take the lack of enthusiasm personally.

Lets hope we see the Focke Wulf sooner, rather than later.

Just got the email. What a bummer! I got my Huff packed away in the closet, I don't need another Sabre.

If they HAD to do an '86, a Dog Sabre would have been cool but I dunno if I would have bought one of those either. I can pretty much only afford Easy Model 1:72 these days. a 1:18 bird has to be REALLY special for me to pull the trigger.

Couldn't be less excited - Unless, maybe, they were announcing a repainted Mig 15!
Merit, IMO, missed the boat on this one - Don't think sales will impress...
Really curious, though, as to why Merit would choose the F86 for a repaint?

That's a good point, it is nothing personal at all. I am very grateful for them keeping the scale alive. However, at this point with my collection I will only be adding new planes, no more duplicates, I just have too many.
