Small Scale Military Headquarters

well said. can you guys see my pics? i hope they help some.

wow, funny you should say that, he is one of my heroes, and man he is on fire this season. i've been studying both the proto and production pics and well those spots look more visible on the prototype pic i'm looking at, but it could be the lighting. but other than the missiles i think they look pre...

i don't know, but merit won't release anymore pics right now, i sent them another email begging them too. i'm starting to wonder again?

i beg your pardon, but i don't want jsi to go under, but if they don't get enough support--from us--the consumers, they probalbly will, and yes that would totally suck donkey balls. cause i want the f-15 and su-27. sorry if i came off the wronge way. but i plan on supporting the crap out of them. i ...

Told ya, Santa has taken over JSI. :shock: BTW, I thought you had forever damned them to the pits of hell (along with Bad Cat)? This is getting confusing. :? Oh, wait, that was before apologizing profusely to both of them, after editing all your previous posts on this thread. :lol: i know, but that...

can't we all get along, after all their are poor children all around the world starving right now, like in china. or better yet making ugly tomcats. i don't know guys this just..... i mean we have a piece of 1/18 history here the first 1/18 f-14 tomcat with varible sweep wings, a massive 41.5 inches...

Ha, this thread is cool. I can't help but check it every 5 min. :) Its like a Soap. very funny, very funny! :D i want to let you guys in on a little secret, jsi at first wanted to charge between $500 to $750 for these planes, but since they felt that people couldn't afford those kinda of cost or pa...

What a bunch of whiners. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. I'm a realist not an apologist, I've 34 years of model building experience. It may be damn well impossible to get someone to make 1/18 birds with all this nit picking and complaining. I'm a model builder and I know someti...

what to say, what to say, i just post another message at badcat, i hope this will help to ease minds about me. but i have done a complete 180 with the tomcat, i like what i see. thats my opinion. some may differ, but that is what makes this a great country and not china. so i apologize if i affended...

i was kidding about cancelling it, man thats gotta be a bumer for ya. i wish you would atleast wait to see it in person, pics only tell so much. you might get tha thing and just love it, but ........

if your not happy with it, cancel it, and i'll buy it, more tomcats and repaints fo me, hook me up tko211, i love for you to do me a 1991 vf-84 flag tail or top gun aggressor tomcat. but i think the real problem is we all have different opinions of what we want or expect. me i am completely satisfie...

all aside i think it looks damn good. if you want perfection hph makes 1/18 tomcats for around 8gs. so i'm happy with it. but thats me.

i've never seen a vf-84 tomcat in that color scheme with dark gray missiles, they were white, but i can fix that with some paint.

they sure wouldn't look right, it makes me wonder if they gone as far as to change the paint scheme, but we've seen the production pics the rest of the plane seems to match the prototype. in several sites i have noticed the phoenix misslies were not the all the same from all white to gay tip to now ...

no idea, but it is a good question, and why, hopefully we will see a pic of the actual production tomcat to compare soon. plus a week ago or more didn't merit state they will post a pic for all to see, why all this secret stuff? all i have to say after all this, the production plane better look as g...

NICE DISPLAY[/b]

yeah i noticed that too, it makes you wonder what the final product will look like. merit still hasn't released a pic, perhaps next week.

what f-14, the special edition.

yeah, he did say they would be open friday. when are they supposed to debut the flanker?

i just ordered one from mts, they told me they won't get them til mid december, have they requested payment from you yet, they told they were taking payments for all preoders this week. they haven't taken out my payment yet, so i have no idea whats going on.

i hope that doesn't mean people who have already paid for theirs won't be getting them that would suck for sure. is that all you know?

and pissed off customers as well. perhaps if jsi really cares about their paying customers they will make a few more to meet the large demand. on the subject of the special edition tomcat i think they should leave off the toy trade show name too. this is a big leap in 1/18 aircraft the first electro...

thats why i'm not doing it, plus skyworks toys told me they could do it for alot less.

military toy shop says they are getting a few, but i've been talking to jsi for months about custom tomcats, they never mentioned this, $280 sure beats paying $1650,...
