Anyone know or hear if the promised ordinance package for those who got the first version will be provided as told?

Called Merit and they are on the ball gettting the added armor for those who bought the plane in Sdiego at the show. They know who bought those planes and when the extra parts come in, they will be shipped to the buyers.

Thank you JOC for contacting Merit and confirming that JSI is going to make good on their promise. I can't wait to try out the new ordinance on "Vicky".

Yep - I ordered from aikens (http://www.aikensairplanes.com/) who has it for $289.95 + free shipping!!!

I can't wait for this bird! If it had the full air-to-air loadout like the version 1 in addition to the air-to-ground ordnance, and of course if it had a BBI-quality pilot and RIO, it'd be perfect! Well, I shouldn't count my chickens I suppose until it "hatches" out the box and I get to inspect it!

BigBadToyStore.com is now showing these in stock for 274.99. Whoever gets one first, please post pics and /or your overall impression. I'm debating getting one of these and am curious as to if the paint and landing gear was improved!

UPS attempted to deliver a package today, but I wasn't at home. I think it's the F-14.
