I got my F-14 stand today and it looks great! My only problem was trying to get the plane on it because the plane is so heavy and you have to be selective as to where you hold it. That has pretty much been the case with it since I got it. Clearly Pizza Guy has been making these stands for a while so...

I wish I would have gotten one of those guides. That would have been something nice to have. Funny that they made you take pictures of the broken parts. I just e-mailed them and they mailed them out a while later. Don't count on getting a metal rod in your landing gear, it isn't in there. It is sti...

Thanks for sharing! Can you give us the contact info you used for Merit? I am in no need of the replacement parts (my F-14 is doing just fine) but I know there are many others who could use it 8) Ahhh, that was stupid of me not to share that info. The e-mail address I got most of my contact from se...

After a few e-mails and quite a bit of waiting, I finally got my replacement parts from Merit. Original problems: Nose cone hinge frozen, radar dish arm broken, right landing gear snapped off. So they sent me a new radar dish assembly, left and right landing gears, and a new nose cone. The new nose ...

I don't think anyone considered this a toy. I certainly didn't and I treat and handle it as a collectible. But that didn't prevent the landing gear from breaking which is really my issue with this product. I did get an e-mail back from Merit. They said they are going to contact JSI about resolution ...

I posted in the other thread but since this is the place for cons. 1. Mine had a broken radar dish tab before it even came out of the box. 2. The nosecone hinge is frozen, I can't move it. 3. Lack of instructions for the landing gear which led to... 4. Rear landing gear broke as I gently rolled it. ...

Re: Gear
Greetings: I personally do not think the landing gear are that fragile if they are all connected properly. I realized once everything was locked into position and every tab inserted, etc, they work quite well. The problem is when you put the plane on the gear, you have to make sure the springs work...

Hello all. New guy here that registered to talk about my experience with the JSI F-14. I just received it on Saturday night and naturally was pretty excited. I don't have many 1:18 scale items as I am mostly a GIJoe collector. But this was a gem I had to have. Before I pulled it out of the box I fou...
