No it's not, but is it ok to pay $700 "destination charge" for a Honda CRV?? :lol:

I still find it quite funny how a lot of you in this hobby can complain about cost...I mean we aren't talking food or shelter or doctor bills here! :roll:

I was hoping for the low-visibilty scheme. I already have a Century Wings F-14 in high-visibility.
I also liked the JSI F-14 VF-154 Black Knights (USS KITTY HAWK) in low-visibilty scheme shown in last year's toy fair.
I may cancel my pre-order.

HIGH VIS........YES! I love those Navy paint schemes. I can't wait to see this model! :D
Fred, really looking forward to the JSI 1/18th scale Grumman F-14 Tomcat.

Works for me too!
Either version would have been fine by me.

High vis.is harder to do than low vis.Any flaws will be much more apparent.

Just hope JSI gets it right.
