I don't mind having the two seater, but I always liked the single seater version...to me the twin seater looks like Quasimodo to me....
besides the chines fly both the single and twin seater.

I like the look of the single seat. I can't imagine how huge this plane would be in 1/18th scale.
Fred, really looking forward to the JSI 1/18th scale Grumman F-14 Tomcat.

I'd bitch if this were, say, a MiG-29, but as-is it's fine.
This bad boy is gonna be 4' long.

I'd like to have a single seater, but I'm not going to complain if they do a two seat version. Just make it happen....

Go Ugly Early in 1/18!!
Still waiting and wishing for a 1/18 A-10 Warthog.

I am not really bitching but the single seat would sell more...
Its more recognizable as an interceptor,

Can you guys believe we are even talking about an 18th scale SU-27 even being made? A few weeks ago I would have said you were nuts to thinks someone might make this awesome plane in 1/18th scale.

Fred, really looking forward to the JSI 1/18th scale Grumman F-14 Tomcat.

They're fairly limited any way you slice it.
We're gonna get Russian and/or Chinese. Does anyone really care if they do an Angolan or an Uzbek scheme?

Then you've got even less marketable schemes to pick from.

JSI should make it like the 21st me-262. by making it this way they can open it up and make even more variants..and always keeping the mold fresh..

Some still see it that way. I don't think that this will ever see the light of day. There is to much out there that has been promised and never saw the production. I think that we all better get ready to buy some re-casts/re-paints and be happy with it. Well at least till it flutters out like 21st did.....
Shoot me until I see I don't believe it....show me something in a retail box and I will get excited until then its all just guesses?????
Is that you John Wayne, this is me!!
