The FW-190 and Harrier..closer to fruition?

Post by Black Lion VF-213 » Sun Jan 12, 2014 6:29 pm

Interesting seeing them listed in the MRC/Merit catalogue...in Chinese and as model kits? An A-5 and an A-8? Wow! Prebuilt and a kit Harrier too? Interesting...

I wonder if this is the final paint scheme they are going with for the AV-8B.

Hey, look at the UH-1 helicopter, 60029. Looks like an interesting variation on the armament.

I see the 1:18 88, that seems all for armor.
I'm wondering if we'll see the 1:18 King Tiger in kit form..... :shock: .....the one 21st had made.

I'd like to try one of those Fw-190 kits. :)

A king tiger would be nice, although another 1/18 stuka release would be more like it.

Not going to happen.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the 1:18 scale FW 190A would be new to collectors. The FW190 (Dora) was the only release I recall.

That is correct c119boxcar. :wink:

FW 190D was 'less than perfect", and would be great to see an A version of this fighter in 1/18.

Greetings:

I hope the 190's are nice. That is one I would add to the collection.

Harrier looks good too, but doubt I will purchase that one.

If both pieces are as good as the SBD was it might give the 1/18 hobby some much needed life.

It would be nice to hear something definite about the Fw-190 from Merit, if they want to market this product...
