1:18 AV-8B from Merit?

PanzerArm · Post by **PanzerArm** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 3:27 pm

Hey guys, I am not usually a source for 1:18 info, and I really am not sure if you guys have already discussed this, but I thought I would share a photo one of my local hobby businesses posted to their Facebook. The owners are at the Best of the West Show in Las Vegas right now and the caption of this photo said this was at the Merit International booth.

I've heard from a trusted source 3 months now ! so prepare for this summer !!!!

AFTER SEEING THE PICS I THINK THE WAIT WAS WORTH IT !!!!!!!!!

superb ! (i like the engine visible .... its a nice touch even though i prefer "in flight" mode )

HURRRRAAAAA for MERIT well done guys !

I just heard from Dick that the signage at the booth (not visible in the pics) states this is a 3rd Quarter 2015 release. It would seem supersonicfifi's trusted source is right on the money.

Ooo, what's that M198 Howitzer peeking out in the background?

(sorry, it's the Artilleryman in me)

Looking good!

Can't wait for this new addition to my 1:18 scale modern air force. Love the opening engine panel as well.

Must say that it is looking pretty darn good.

Nice level of detail, and think it is most promising.

Thanks for sharing update info and pictures. Looking good for me. Also would like to see the armament set which will come with this Harrier too. Please share if there is also update news and pictures about FW-109.

Likely the last news we'll have on it till SDCC, but theoretically we'll get to see it all armed up then.

Theoretically at least.

Is this the final marking/paint scheme? If so I'll wait till a high-vis scheme comes out. Strange that Merit didn't post more pics here; the Internet will give them more exposure than the trade show.

supersonicfifi · Post by **supersonicfifi** » Thu Apr 30, 2015 6:47 am

CAN'T WAIT ! I WILL RUSH ON IT

there is a lesson in this market : never wait for something better to come out ! (remember the spotcat ? the other version were more and more expensives !!)

I think I will rush on this one ! and buy 2 ! (one will be left like this but the other will go to PICKEL for a GR9 RAF conversion ....?)

I agree I would prefer the darker Grey version in British markings...this one to plane Jane for my liking

Pickel I had an idea like the FABULOUS P36 that I own ! could you think it is possible to change the nose of the futur HARRIER in a GR9 RAF Harrier ?

What do you think ?
