After the JSI F-14 arrives

Post by skyraider » Fri Aug 14, 2009 2:04 pm

Do you guys think there will be some JSI F-14s for sale after the pre-orders are filled? I would like to get one, but I might have to wait until they are out to afford one at this time. Just wondering if only the pre order guys will get one?

i think these will be available for some time to come. The fact that we are seeing these deals on them implies that they are not moving like hot cakes. And at the price it's not that surprising.

I would think there will be plenty around for several months and many repaints beyond that. I wouldn't wait 5 years or anything but a few months should be no problem.

There certainly will be some, somewhere. As we have seen in the other F-14 thread, there are many other retailers that we have not heard of that are getting the plane, so there will likely be some out there for a little while after the release date.

Still, JSI is not 21c. They are not mass producing these planes in the quantities like 21c did. Given that, those retailers that are doing preorders will likely determine the number of planes that JSI makes for this first go-around. If I were you, I would look into preordering somewhere (there are some nice deals out now) so that you have a chance of getting the plane.
