But yeah, the Focke Wulf is the main attraction, when do the curtains go up?
It says "working gear".USCGMK2 wrote:Looking at the pictures on BadCats website it looks like the landing gear isn't fixed/removable?
The F-86 IS NOT the merit jet, this one is JSI, the merit jet is 2 engine, and will be announced no later the this Friday.Birddog wrote:Wait a minute everyone, don't get disappointed just yet. This F-86 may not be the 1/18 jet Merit is going to announce......
Merit specifically said "all new tooling" regarding the two new 1/18 aircraft they are planning on releasing this year when talking about these projects on their Facebook page. We know the FW190 will be all new tooling for the model they are going to produce, so that falls in line with their comment. So unless this F-86 is from all new tooling and isn't a reproduction using existing tooling from 21st, it wouldn't fit the bill. I would think, hope, inlet covers don't justify a new tooling comment........of course we have all seen this from bbi with their recent Blackhawk release.
Maybe Jim from Merit can shed some light on the "all new tooling" comment and how it does or maybe doesn'r related to this F-86 release?
Hope the source you got this from is correct. If this holds true it will be interesting to see what they have planned.The_Helicopter_Pilot wrote:The F-86 IS NOT the merit jet, this one is JSI, the merit jet is 2 engine, and will be announced no later the this Friday.Birddog wrote:Wait a minute everyone, don't get disappointed just yet.

Sorry, it is not a "Merit" Jet. It is a "JSI" Jet !The_Helicopter_Pilot wrote:The F-86 IS NOT the merit jet, this one is JSI, the merit jet is 2 engine, and will be announced no later the this Friday.Birddog wrote:Wait a minute everyone, don't get disappointed just yet.
