Hello Everyone,
I would like to introduce myself to the forum. My name is Jim and I am President of Admiral Toys (yes, Jason is my brother). I am taking over posting information about Admiral Toys on various forums. In the past I was just interested in reading what everyone had to say and left the talking to Jason. He does have a gift when it comes to posting on these forums. I will tell you right now that I am not as polished as Jason when it comes to posting, and I will not be as active. In the near future there will be new news about Admiral Toys and I will hopefully be able to give some answers to your questions. The last two years have been very rough for Admiral. The state of the economy has paralyzed our efforts to produce models. We are hoping that in 2010 Admiral will be able to turn the corner and rise from the dead.
We are in the process of reworking our website - until that is done I will be posting Admiral Toys news here and other forums.
I am sure that you will hear from Jason from time to time. He is still a very valued honorary member of Admiral Toys. He is focusing on his new venture; however, He has stated that he misses this industry greatly. There are few things more fun then making toys/models for a living.
I look forward to talking to the members of this forum.
Warmest regards,
Jim

Welcome aboard and best of luck to you. Admiral had quite a few awesome 1/18 planes lined up that I hope you are able to release some day.

Welcome Jim, I look forward to anything you kick out the door!

Your breachblocks so black
And oodles of track

Oh, tanks for the memories..
