I think I can wait ONE more day for this one...

Re: merit Announcment
Probably a good idea since anything said or shown today could be regarded as an April fools joke.
Re: merit Announcment
That's why we did not make any post on the 1st. However, we are facing some delay on our side and we will still make good on a "April" announcement within April.Beeavision wrote:Probably a good idea since anything said or shown today could be regarded as an April fools joke.

Re: merit Announcment
"within April" is fine! Thanks Jim.
Oh and I'll stop asking you about a ME-163.

Re: merit Announcment
Is this going to be a modern bird or vintage?
Still withering away from the A-10 Hunger Striker.

It will be one each if we can still count the FW-190 A-5.Jolly Roger wrote:Is this going to be a modern bird or vintage?

Re: merit Announcment
JSI just announced that their next is the F-86 Sabre.
yawn, There's only a million of these already on the market, and removable gear?
bleh.
oh info @ batcattoys.com
was hoping for something that hasn't been done yet.

Re: merit Announcment
This is probably the first time I have been truly disappointed about a 1:18 announcement. At least make it an all new paint scheme
Re: merit Announcment
yea that is a disappointing announcement. Of course the mold must be the old admiral or the 21st one. Much easier to release this than make another complete one like the Dauntless
Re: merit Announcment
It's a nice looking plane but I could really care less, no sale here.

Here's the Bad Cat link for the F-86.... http://www.badcattoys.com/fsajetmajjaj.html
I'd like to see the FW-190.

Re: merit Announcment
While good to see a new 1/18 release, another F-86 Sabre is hard to get excited about.
Thanks to Jim@Merit for the updates, and hope that he doesn't take the lack of enthusiasm personally.
Lets hope we see the Focke Wulf sooner, rather than later.

Re: merit Announcment
Just got the email. What a bummer! I got my Huff packed away in the closet, I don't need another Sabre.
If they HAD to do an '86, a Dog Sabre would have been cool but I dunno if I would have bought one of those either. I can pretty much only afford Easy Model 1:72 these days. a 1:18 bird has to be REALLY special for me to pull the trigger.

Re: merit Announcment
Couldn't be less excited - Unless, maybe, they were announcing a repainted Mig 15!
Merit, IMO, missed the boat on this one - Don't think sales will impress...
Really curious, though, as to why Merit would choose the F86 for a repaint?

Re: merit Announcment
That's a good point, it is nothing personal at all. I am very grateful for them keeping the scale alive. However, at this point with my collection I will only be adding new planes, no more duplicates, I just have too many.snake wrote:
