Could JSI pick up the 21st Century F-4?

Post by cornbreadfred » Fri May 08, 2009 7:53 pm

I know I am going way to fast but how about this? What is JSI picks up the 21st Century 18th scale F-4 Phantom molds and makes a Phantom? Wow, would that be cool. I mean looks like are going to make an 18th scale F-14, a Phantom would be awesome... :)
Fred, really looking forward to the JSI 1/18th scale Grumman F-14 Tomcat.

Taking that idea a little further, JSI could pick up all the planned vehicles and aircraft that 21st tinkered about way back when and make them a reality. :wink:

I don't think the 21st F-4 ever made it to that that stage. would be cool to get the F-4 and mig 21.

i doubt if any of those made it to the tooling stage. The only unreleased item that had molds was probably the KT. All the others were just prototypes, mock ups or twinkles in 21c's eye.
i never met an airplane i didn't like...

As has been stated, I suspect the F4, B25, etc never made it past initial design drawings if that far. I wonder if JSI also participated in the design of the models, or they were strickly the manufacturer?

Back to the F-4...I'd rather see Admiral pick up the ball on the Phantom (and there's been some hints from AT that this is not impossible)...let JSI get its game on with repaints & the Tomcat, and when it's time for something new, roll out the B-25...anybody with me on this...?

Once JSI releases the Tomcat, it's a good time for Admiral to get their F-4 Phantom going.

We gotta remember who had one first here. :wink:

I'd have to agree - don't think the tooling was ever that far along but I'd spend the cash if one were ever produced.

it seems they are working with existing molds right now to test the market. hopefully if sales are good they will expand the line. i talked with Merit today and that seems to be the plan.

Everyone said they didnt have the moulds, but the "ad" had the grey plane. I understand it may have been a prototype, but it was at least something tangible. Maybe there is still hope.
"I can stop collecting 1:18 scale anytime, really I can. OOoh, the new Stuka re-paint! I don't have that one.
