Small Scale Military Headquarters

Photos of JSI Iranian F-14 including custom ejection seat (my apologies if this is a rerun)

that's a smaller scale model. I can see silvering around some of the decals.

How many of these do they plan on selling? 50 or so? Cause that's about all they're gonna sell.

AFERGUSON:

That's not decal silvering---it's really spots that were painted over.

I like this one, I will have it.

that's 1.

LMAO!!!

I do not want this, but nevertheless, think its an interesting paint scheme and that it actually looks good.

Why don't we have everyone donate a dollar here? We buy the Iranian JSI Cat, have a raffle and the winner then gets to destroy it with a baseball bat, or blow it up with M80's? Put it on YouTube so everyone can see of course.

It would be like the teenagers destroying that newly purchased IPad

I kid

I wish that they would just replace the Spotcats that we bought with this version. I'd be happy to have ANY clean and accurate scheme regardless of the nationality.

that one I will buy!

More repaint fodder. Might as well buy a spot cat. Pass...

If you look at the second picture from the top, you can see the main landing gear is about to break...

i am getting that one

If that depicts an actual plane that, through some miracle, still actually manages to get off the ground, there's a decent chance it will be a greasy, smoking pile of twisted metal some time in the next year or so ...

Sabrefan, you're right on! That looks like the same old "knock-kneed" gear as before and leads me to believe this is actually a 1/18 model...Who else would make that gear on purpose?
That being said, I actually like the paint scheme, but probably wouldn't buy it even if they ever did produce it...Yes, I am a 1/18 scale "addict", but even us addicts have a limit on what we can spend and what we spend it on...I do love my two F14's, warts and all, but I'm ready for something else like an F15!!!

I can see the decals too well - not very professional job whoever repainted it - I should say the paint looks good but they ruined it with the poor decal work.

Talk about mis-management! And totally dis-connected from their customer base. Did JSI not get the message? The first F-14 had everybody screaming murder and the second is a dubious paint scheme from a current terrorist nation.

You think JSI had to pay for the rights? So any Iranian scheme bought sends money back to crazy ackmed.

oh, short post...no thanks

DH

I still see spots......

This is a repost. This was discussed in the general F-14 thread over a month ago.

I'll pass.

The seperate ejection seat is fitting for this model.

You mean the one with 59 pages? I bet Jimmy Hoffas in there some place.

Are you guys saying a JSI Tomcat never changes its spots?

The paint scheme is cool, but the decal work not so great. Is this a series they are going to produce.

After the Jolly Rogers fiasco,I don't believe any JSI pre-production photos.

And an Iranian F-14 as the second release?

Israeli F-15,and Chinese Su27?

I don't believe JSI has ANY idea of what they are doing in the 1/18 market.

Just some factory "cranking out" pretty decent models,with terrible paint schemes.

Obviously,not run by anyone who knows what collectors want.

I haven't bought any of their products,and at this rate,I don't plan on.

Sheer incompetance,from a company that had such promise.
