Small Scale Military Headquarters

yeah, per Jason's inquiry, what is recognizable and therefore marketable - I would say modern air power has the widest fan base. If you've been to an airshow in the last 30 years...

I'm just glad to see JSI isn't spinning out the same old thing - that we're seeing progressive enhancements to previous models - gives me hope for the degree of their commitment

ok sounds good

It is also kind of a sad state of affairs if it is better that a company not produce a certain paint scheme that would do well in the market place because it would be too hard to do correctly. I'm not sure what that says about our hobby. I'm new to the hobby but I would say it says larger scales ar...

Defweee

meds?

I was wondering when someone would post a pic of the 1:18 SOA F-14 - if the JSI model looks even close to that, I will be totally jazzed. I know it's hard to get a model this complex to market and it doesn't always work out as planned - but I am really excited about this model

Greetings I'm disappointed it will not be Pudgy. I would have ordered one had it been Pudgy. Living very close to McGuire AFB I have fond memories of the memorial at the base to him... it's the same reason I had to have one - growing up on south Jersey, I had visited McGuire on many occasions... I'...

salute and thumbs up!!

Its more recognizable as an interceptor,

Yep

I spent a little more than a c-note to get my Pudgy recently - was a little annoyed it was going to show up again for less

"vapor one, this is due to be released three, over..."

*rejoices* realized they probably couldn't find or use one of the masks for pudgy...

really neat collection - sorry to hear the owner needs the money for medical bills - it's a shame

if JSI is hoping for sales success in 1/18 scale they better get their act together. A 2 seat trainer in chinese airforce markings and an israeli F-15 ain't gonna cut it. With high price tags and limited space, most people will not buy these models. agreed - the sting of the almost awesome is hard ...

highly expensive and highly advanced avionics at the time of the A variant... first use of all titanium wing box... one dropped in the drink in '75 leading to a mad scramble to raise it before the Soviets... varying sources state Iran has about 13 operational A's and their inventory of phoenix missi...

One for me and I'd wait until I got the scheme I wanted. At that size and price point I'm already pushing maximum girlfriend tolerance... but I WILL have one

Just give Panther his Thud and we'll be all good :wink: We're hearing that interest in 1/18th is waning - but if indicators are weak, I have to believe it's a result of the vapor squadron of unrealized models out there. I totally agree with a lot of people in this thread - I can't get too pumped abo...

Welcome

I'd just like to thank everyone for the warm welcome. I've been a military aviation fan all my life, especially WWII, and I started collecting big plastic about five months ago. I have truly enjoyed every purchase and look forward to what's on the horizon as this is a really fun hobby and a great sc...

for anyone who doesn't have the 262A, might be worth considering - very hard to find

VF-84 Jolly Rogers and VX-4 evaluators... saw an F-4 model (flying) done in VX-4 scheme - jaw dropping

I've done business with them a few times now - shipping was reasonable and quick

I'd have to agree - don't think the tooling was ever that far along but I'd spend the cash if one were ever produced.
