BTW Jason: Is the PzIII-M the last (nearly all) metal armor model that you (Admiral) will be producing? I think that the III-H is the high point of the series so far. Why didn't you put a box on the back of the turret though? (Finally got to ask that question!!) Probably not. We have some plans to ...

Unfortunate. I was looking forward to this release. I am sure they have a very good reason. FOV is "the manufacturer" in this industry. Trust me, FOV knew well in advance if China had an issue with this model. It has something to do with the facility's schedule. Manufactures know well in advance, be...

Yeah, it would be nice to hear from AT's Customer Service too. King O Fools, I am sorry that our customer service has not responded. Please resend your request with a "Jason said Priority" in the subject line. I will be gone on business for the rest of the week, and most of the month; however, they...

I do have news, but no time to talk. I am running into a meeting and will not be out until late this afternoon. I have a lot of work to do before I leave for China on Monday. Going to China is good news for you. Admiral Toys has a LOT of things in the works at this time. Sorry that I cannot openly d...

Hello fellow Collectors, This model is not from Admiral Toys. So please stop calling and asking about this model. It is the manufacturer’s prerogative to choose when to release information about this model to the public. I am sure this company will do a great job with the model, they always do. Rega...

I behoove you to find a single post were I, or Admiral Toys, have stated that it is Adolf Galland's aircraft. Do not waist your time. It has never been stated. If you own a White 7 then you know our understanding of the German air forces during the end of the war. We just like the scheme and will pr...

Jason, The new paint is great. Will you guys do the swatiska or is this toy manufacturing suicide? I know there is no way Wal-Mart would put the evil pinwheel on there planes with notions of polictical uneasyness. Will Admiral go out on a limb and make this plane more historical ? If you do this wo...

He had this model custom painted and we stole his ides and will use it for our model!! Tim said he would assist in any fashion, thank you Tim. Admiral toys will produce this model ...

Hmm, my ME-262 Nightfighter also has a small gap in the fuselage section over the gun ports that needs fixing. Should I pull it off, I wonder if there will be a rock in mine as well :wink: Probably, if 21st is using what I think they are, it is cement. We sometimes use a quick drying cement to help...

I just looked through all my files and can only find the CAD file used for tooling. I cannot show that or everyone in the world would know how it was made. For now we only have plans to make a 1:18 scale version. It would be a little overkill for 1:32. It holds up to 20 pounds and is crystal clear p...

For years now, I've told myself that I'd stop collecting once a 1:18 Phantom is made. And since it's taking so long for one to be made, I've been able to collect a lot of my favorite planes along the way. Vulgarvulture, You are the reason we slowed down on the F-4. We wanted to keep you in the game...

As promised, I wanted to give a little more insight into the process and difficulties of making these great aircraft.

I wanted to give you a little look into how we made this aircraft and to show you why at times it takes a little longer then you expect to have a completed model. One of the largest obstacles is to satisfy the demands from the collectors that expect the most accurate aircraft possible for a cheap pr...
