you mean m41 south korean version?

it's the fact that they are showing a bbi sherman that makes me think JSI is either an offshoot of bbi, or they have purchased the molds from bbi. My hunch is they are an offshoot.

They have some interesting mods and new items showing. LOTS of stuff for a start up company, but they are pretty large. I hope this doens't all turn out to be blowing smoke..
i never met an airplane i didn't like...

Since I really got into 1/18th late this is really great
I know some of you are pissed that there are alot of re-molds but Im not
e-bay prices have sucked
late model tiger= Strum tiger for me
Pather and 251= infra-red night fighters
M4 Sherman is always nice to have and if the have the BBi mold I can do a Iwo Jima or Okinawa Marine Serman
and I dont see it but did someone say a Stewart tank? That would be great I can make an M5 or an M8
Huey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really need one
and lets not forget the F14, F15, and SUwhatever it is commie jet
This is great
Yeah I KT would be icing on the cake but if I were them id if they have the molds Id wait awhile and see how this stuff sells

Yay! A Huey! Can't wait to get that for less than $100 finally.

It's hard to tell where they "cleaned up" the molds without closer inspection and comparison pics.

That's not an M5 Stuart, its an M4 Sherman.

Wow!! Cool to see the F-15 is that far along and looking awesome!!!!

The modern jets in 1/18 may finaly be here. Hmmm.....the possibilities for someone to do an A-10 in 1/18 are so bright now.....
Go Ugly Early in 1/18!!

Still waiting and wishing for a 1/18 A-10 Warthog.

Isn't anyone else excited that one of the pics linked above has the US paratroopers?! I'm hoping that means the German paratroopers won't be far behind!

Wow! Awesome schemes all around! The Panther looks great, as does the US Army M-48. All the new armor possibilities are exciting as well. This is all just cool.

I'm glad I got a new job that actually pays me something, as now I can afford all these things :wink:

the landing gear is steel not plastic that is why it is not thick and still hold the plane up... that is doing it right...

I am really happy that we are getting a new 109E. The Galland version is nice but that is about it. The spinach version is impossible to find. The first version is blah and the eastern front is decent. I don't care for the night version so the Battle of Britain JG52 version is just what was needed.

I am on my phone so it is hard to see but it looks like the 109 Emil has an incorrect late war erle haube canopy. Am I seeing this correctly?

if you look at AT f4 the shaft of the wheels bend...

because landing gear that is make of all plastic does not support that much weight with out giving

if you look closely at the landing gear of the f15 they are slender but support the plane.. which is weigh more then the f4....

I was told by merit that they would be made out of nylon, but I agree with you that it looks like its made with some sort of metal...also could one reinforce the inside of nylon with a meatl rod?

I don't know... We've seen 88's and PIV's at retail... KT's though, not, so I'm not gonna go out on a limb and say they definitely exist Aferg... Till I see one I don't believe it. I think 21st was in their trouble, and bailed on that particular item before putting in any investment beyond a prototype. I think all we've seen is a nice one or two-off that was used for photos before the factory got it tooled.

Be nice if it existed though... I'd love to see it happen, so I've got my fingers crossed. I'm just not hopeful.

I'm disappointed at absolutely no figures being marketed around at all. I'm anxious to see if they ever get those into production again, or make new ones... Either way, just getting more figures on the market would be nice.

Yes if you look at pic#2 there 3 displays of figures. In pic#7 there are some paras and a Patton fig. On the far right you can see some German figures. Keep your fingers crossed.

THanks for the tip guys, I didn't see them in the photos as the monitor I'm on right now is a bit dark/broken, so perhaps I missed them all together was all. I'm going to take another look through and see what I perhaps missed.

I know I'm giddy for those Hanomag variants. Those are damn slick. And the rocket Sherman? Count me in for two if there is paint variations coming for those.
