You guys think we will see the JSI 18th scale F-15 Eagle one day? I am a big fan of the F-15, and I sure hope we get a spotless Eagle....

I wish that I could vote yes on this topic but I'm afraid that we won't see it.

If you read the posts on The Fighting 1/18th outlining the conversations with Merit at SDCC in relation to JSI's view, the F-15 more than likely isn't going to happen.

The J-11/Su-27 "is" going to happen at some point but its being contemplated if it will be made available for sale here in the US. More than likely a foreign release due to it's size and shipping costs.

The A-10 though seems to have popped up on their radar now though, althought there hasn't been any indication of how serious they are entertaining it. They evidently have started to ask if one is wanted, like that is any news...

I'm not holding my breath though.

I hope the JSI j-11 makes it here. cause it will cost more for shipping it to this country...

I hope it does too. I'll be up for one if it does.

surprising news about the f-15....i would have thought it would be very popular. Perhaps the F-14 wasn't as hot a seller as they'd hoped? Of course the spot debacle may have had something to do with that.

I think they need to rethink their marketing strategy. Chinese airforce 2 seat su-27's and israeli f-15's are not smart. They're fine for repaints of 1/72 planes but for the S1 of a 1/18? Just make a nice usaf f-15 and re-release it every couple of years and it will sell forever. Anyone believe BBI's f-18 and f-16 wouldn't be gobbled up if they re-released a couple of thousand of each?

I may be one of the few who actually like there F-14 and would have liked a F-15 but not on Israeli colors. That being said I would give someones left nut for a A-10 since that happens to be my favorite modern airplane.

Why some one else's and not yours??? LOL

I say make the F-15E in USAF markings!

I certainly hope the F-15 will be done.

Make it a C model,with full Sidewinder,Sparrow/AMRAAM loadout.

The E version need conformal fuel tanks,and a full bomb load to look correct.

Although the Israeli scheme looks good in my opinion,US Air Force is the way to go.

My mistake.It has been so long since I saw a picture.

If they do an E version,then it better come with a full loadout of bombs.

Would still prefer a C version.

If JSI decides to not make the F-15, it would be a great heart-breaker ... I think you can't make an argument against it being the longest-reigning air-superiority fighter and, in the E and other "mud hen" models, a damned fine attack fighter ...

I agree, please make this.

Would like the F-15 and Su 27 both.

JSI is quite concerned about the eventual sticker price and are finding ways in how to keep cost down.

As for the IDF F-15,... the sole intension was to add more "color" in the convention booth rather than air planes in various tone of gray color. That's why they did the Iranian F-14 too.

Jericoeagle1 · Post by **Jericoeagle1** » Mon Aug 02, 2010 1:31 pm

Shouldn't the F-15 cost less then the F-14? What price are they looking for?

NightVyper · Post by **NightVyper** » Mon Aug 02, 2010 2:39 pm

if it has US markings i am in!!

Ferrari250GTO · Post by **Ferrari250GTO** » Sun Aug 22, 2010 1:30 am

Make it first in USAF typical markings, then if possible, IAF. I would consider buying both versions...

They should go out on a thin-limb with a big backpack to make it but if they mess up the weathering. or a gear is not strong enough, I am going to trash talk the Company until the cows come home!

That would be a great match up to get.

DocTodd · Post by **DocTodd** » Wed Aug 25, 2010 8:14 pm

I hope they make it and maybe they could make three versions. One US, one JDF, and one Israeli scheme. That way there would be different ones to pick from. Just my 2 cents.

Black_Dragon_One · Post by **Black_Dragon_One** » Thu Aug 26, 2010 11:59 pm
