Small Scale Military Headquarters

There's quite a few disappointments I have with this model, for one, the gear they don't lock, for 2 the intake, and exhaust is covered,

And I don't know if it's the same on all of them, but the figure was so still and frail that it just fell apart when moved,

there's several other things they could have done better such as the seat straps, and gun chargers, and why the words are in English?
But I guess for $45 I can't really complain much...

Admiral Toys CL-13 is the same as their F-86 tooling, which came out in 2005/2006. It was Admiral Toys first 1:18 aircraft tooling. It was the first F-86 tooling in 1:18. When it came out, the details were OK by the standards of the day, but really were on the same level of most other 1:18 planes at the time, particularly those offered by 21c. AT did incorporate some innovative features into the design like the leading-edge slats, the airbreaks, and the seatbelt in the cockpit, features which 21c later included on their own planes.

If you compare the Admiral Toys F-86/CL-13 to later models (especially the 21c F-86 tooling), yes, it is disappointing. However, it was the first F-86 in 1:18 and the first model produced by an upstart company. It was good for its time. Though you are right, the figure stinks in every way - and the CL-13 pilot figure was Admiral Toys "improved" F-86 pilot! AT never did get their figures right...

If a new 1:18 plane were to come out looking like this, say from Merit, we would have right to complain, but pointing out long-known issues with the AT F-86 tooling like they're something new and unheard of is sort of like discovering that the S1 21c P-51 tooling from 2000 is crappy

See, THIS I did not know it was the first F-86 tooled aircraft made, that makes a BIG difference!
