F-14 to ship next week
I got an email today from my JSI F-14 dealer which said, "These are arriving this week and will ship early next week directly from the importer to expedite delivery."

OK, that makes sense. A response I got from them a couple weeks ago indicated that if we preordered one from them, they will email us when the planes are in stock. They confirmed I was on their list, so I think everything is OK for the moment
I know I may be coming across as a nervous wreck about this, but this is my first time ordering from aikens (I've usually gone through Badcat on such items) and they do things just a little differently than what I am used to. It seems like it will work out, though

Last Christmas I was looking for a Franklin Mint PBY Catalina. My wife searched high and low for it and couldn’t find one. They were bran new and all the little e-tailer stores were sold out. Finally someone mentioned to her Aikens and she gave them a call. He said he was out but he would check just incase. He came back and told here he had one left. They wrapped it up that day and sent it out. I can’t say enough about that place.

I can live with one big jet per year - that way I can save up for it
The F-14 will certainly take up space and I'm not sure whether I should get the Flanker if it becomes a reality... Then again, my F-14 is going to need something else to shoot down besides my BBI Zero

Got an e-mail late today from Aikens asking me to call next week and verify my shipping address and CC information! Whoo-Hoo!
Life is NOT a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in other, body thoroughly worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO” what a ride!
I've always enjoyed the combination of history and collecting. Started gather the "crew" of 1/6th scale figures years ago just before I retired from the Army. Then when 1/18th scale aircarft started showing up, I started colelcting them as well. By combining (for display) the aircraft with larger scale pilots and crew, I've gotten alot of inquiries about the history, the planes, and the people. I have had this DML F-14 pilot (Jolly Rogerrs of coarse) for a couple of years and look forward to an attractive display of him and the JSI Tomcat. Yes....I bit the bullet and ordered one...can't wait till it shows at the door!!!
