I really hope that a company will start making new products than to continue to make old repaints. I know if they would make some new stuff I would rob a bank if I had to to buy it. I just really hope someone starts up making some new stuff. It takes way to long to look at stuff on Evil bay but that is have the fun. If I wouldn't have busted me back and got laid off there is a nice J.S.I. panther going for 20 bucks the last time I looked. :D
I completely agree with that. Every new 1/18 model is welcome!
We still need more new 1/18 aircraft!

I am glad to see any new 1/18 release.

Even a repaint from an existing mold.

To put my opinion forward.

Give us an F-15 first.Followed by an Su27.And then an F-4.

Imagine the schemes that could be done for an F-4. :lol:
Because of that,it would seem to be the mold that keeps giving.
Great model from a business perspective.

An A-10 would be nice,but is not a priority for me.

Just my 2 cents.

Yeah that is a fine idea but when do the repaints become old? Maybe after they have a certain someone from ebay and
Fine Scale Model Magazine helping them with their spot patterns lol. I can see it now 5 years down the road " oh man did you hear the news dude the new 20th repaint of the f4 is coming out sweet man". I myself have just always been kind of a grunt and would rather have some kick ass soldiers and some new tanks. I guess I just never did get into that there flyin stuff. Can I get a ooooooooooohhraaahhhhhhhhhhh

Depending on the girl I wouldn't mind being the pole. Unless it was a 350 pound chick than I might have to pass. Or one of them girls who fell down the ugly tree and hit every tree branch twig and leaf going down just to have Bigfoot come up and beat the hell out of them with it. Think about that :shock:

your hanging out at the wrong part of town... I went to one club and saw a pregnant girl dancing...I left.

Why hasn't the skyworks guy done up a A-10...seems to me that would be a no brainer for his business.

lol yeah maybe I need to go to the better side of town. I would love to see some more U.S. WW2 stuff along with the king tiger and some others I really hope J.S.I. brings back the German Fallschrimjagers I missed out getting any and every time you see them on Ebay they go through the roof. I really hope to get some better U.S. Inf. as far as authentic goes they are not all that bad but their packs are not anywhere close to the m-1928 marching pack that they would be for early war. Those would be my top picks. I would really love to have a Easy 8 and a king Tiger I got to set in both at Ft. Knox years ago and they are sweet. :D

So these are considered what exactly? Re-releases, warehouse finds, or new products? I am a bit confused :)

I doubt if you will ever see those gray Tigers.

I think they were incorrect anyway.

The 21st is a late war Tiger and should not have been painted gray.

But it does look coool :D :D :D

Did not know it was not accurate PH
but it's ok with me, doesn't make a difference as I'm not particular on 100% accuracy

When I think Tiger, I'd always picture it as the gray menacing beast

If I cant get a 21c gray tiger sometime this year I'd might have to settle for a JSI camo one
