Merit's priorities seem obvious. A three foot long (even a bit longer than the Harrier) very detailed and complex model but with 1300 parts and it's in stock. Doubt they've been working on it for five years either. 1/18 seems to be little more than a novelty sideline for them. I had suspected their core business is model kits...and spectacular ones at that! With a one piece hull the box must be huge!

I think they have missed the boat on not offering 1/18 kits of the Harrier and the FW-190.

You have my vote on that Mate. I am disapointed that this is out before their 1:18 scale stuff
