My response from the stickied JSI F-14 thread:

Just got a voicemail from Isiah at MTS. My preorder is good to go.

He mentioned we should see them at our doosteps in roughly four weeks. They are in production as we speak and will leave China in about a week and a half.

Sweet...

Cool! I just ordered mine 2 minutes ago from Bad Cat. If this thing is a good as it looks in the photos I will be ordering another one for a repaint project! The big question is what scheme will JSI do next so that I don't paint the same one myself!

I think it's Black Knights to coincide with Kawai Shokai's delayed Black Knights CAG exclusive.

Tell me more about this? I really would like to know what the next scheme might be.

I REALLY want a Sundowners scheme but I am super fearful that it likely could be covered by JSI.

TKO211:

This might be it. Century Wings has 1/72 version.

So does Unimax for their FOV 1:72 Enthusiast line. It is one of their best 1:72 planes and its a whole lot cheaper than the CW version

Here's the VF-154 Black Knights paint scheme that was used on the JSI F-14 at last year's toy fair (In Japan, if I remember correctly). Century Wings also makes this F-14, too.

Last year when the 1/18 Tomcat was announced, Kawai Toys had a Black Knights CAG version exclusive to them, IIRC limited to 1,000.

Being that we are closer to seeing the 1/18 Tomcat released, the fact that the Black Knights version was already announced, the fact that Kawai Shokai is still going to distribute the JSI Tomcat and other JSI items in Japan, and the fact that the current 1/18 Tomcat is more accurate to the Black Knights during that era than the Jolly Rogers version that's being released 1st, I would not be surprised if the Black Knights CAG is next.

PERFECT! That was exactly the kind of info / detail that I was looking for. Thanks!

Also I should add, the Kawai Toys exclusive has yet to see release, another reason why I think it's next.

Someone had said around the new year for the Tomcat and that seems about right. Hope the deck crew is available at the same time.

i figure late november is a bit optimistic, but probably before christmas.

i wouldn't expect the deck crew stuff til march at the earliest and pilots shortly after that. I guess i'll wait for pilots rather than make my own. They'll be much nicer, i presume, from JSI.

In the meantime i'll just have to have it parked on my imaginary carrier, then when i get the deck crew stuff i can get it ready for take off, then finally i'll get the pilots and can fly it around the room going woosh, woo..

but i digress..
