Small Scale Military Headquarters

No I haven't heard a thing.

P-51's pic.....it sure looks good


Also looking forward to the Fw-190.

My only quibble with the images from SDCC were the lack of gun pods.

The strakes are cool and all, but I think I'd rather have the GAU and ammo configuration.

nope whats a harrier?

Aiken's info: available on September 19th but now no update. I think it will still not ready yet. I check Merit Facebook and the will join ihobby at IL. Hope to see the progress and available before Christmas.
I also waiting their 1/18 FW109A and UH-1B gunship.

This just in from Merit (Facebook)....

"Prepared and packed for iHobby. Will Merit be unleashing images of the Harrier? Yes we will, after the show. And before we get more "Hitler" videos about the Focke-Wulf, rest assured it's coming, along with something very special. What is it? Oh, we're not telling...yet."

harrier gun pods :



much better with them ! can't wait !

Well then.

Projected launch time in february?

Looks like I need a new shelf for a harrier.

always look better with a big gun !

I hope released date will not change again.

Anyone think it would be possible to get the night attack nose cone custom made? The Harrier has been my lifelong favorite jet but I think the new nose with the APG65 radar is ugly as sin :/.

IMO, as a first release, this would look much better as a British version, then (V2) as a US AV-8B...

even though i found the radar nose more agressive' looking, I was surprised not to have the night version of the harrier : it will offer a larger market and some very nice variations : (UK + US ...)

Very true, supersonicfif.

in order to wait i read this :

Nice to see the prototype! Just wish for a more sexy 1:18 jet.

Is this thing ever going to be released? I thought the word on the street was after the chinese new year but that is a month away we haven't even seen the finished product yet. And wasn't the FW-190A supposed to be released at Christmas? It really shouldn't take years to build one of these things. I would really like to pick up a Harrier but my enthusiasm is waning...

I asked Merit in their FB about Harrier but still not get answer. Hope it will release as plan.

WHERE THE HELL IS THIS THING AT??????? TIRED OF WAITING, HAS 1/18 GONE TO THE BIRDS?

I agree WHERE the HELL is the new stuff???
HOW can it take YEARS to make a limited release? Just what are they doing?
Is it a matter of craftmanship or limited resources?

And why is it so "secret" for a toy that no one knows? It's not like a hundred other kit companies are gonna start making 1/18 Harriers.

after a thought...it's like all the 1/18 got a cease and desist letter. Where is Pegasus and their 1/18 museum lineup?

the r/c 1/16 tanks are in the same state of cease and desist, not a rumor of any thing new. It's been years since the Shermans were released.

excluding the $2000 Tamiya R/C tanks...

New York toy fair starts the end of this week, so maybe we will see something. Or they will just roll out the same old prototype they have been teasing with for years and say it will be coming soon.

OU EST LE HARRIER ? WHERE IS THE HARRIER ? A DONDE ESTA EL HARRIER ? that's all the languages i Know .... but you got the message

I asked about it as well as the FW 190 yesterday on Merits site.........................

Interesting that I could find nothing on their corporate website about either the Harrier or the FW-190. Would think that would be a feature story...the "coming soon" of new releases Pre-orders

Only saw one MiG repaint available too. The red tail version. Those might have been a flop (as predicted). Anyone here order a MiG from a dealer?
