JSI 1/18 F-14A Tomcat VF-84 Jolly Rogers Up Close

under Military Toy News

48 Special Models has posted new, up close images of the upcoming 1/18 F-14A Tomcat VF-84 Jolly Rogers by JSI. These new images show even more details than previous shots, giving us a closer look at the randome and AWG-9 radar, and more!

The names behind the canopy are an homage to two individuals who are famous within the Jolly Rogers community. The pilot is listed as Commander Marty Chanik. His call sign was “Streak”, and this former F-14 pilot reached the rank of Vice Admiral before retirement, and was a former commander of the Jolly Rogers. Ensign Jack Ernie was a Jolly Rogers pilot killed in action during World War II. Every time a new commander is inducted, a “passing of the bones” ceremony is conducted, in which the outgoing commander passes the skull and crossbones of Jack Ernie(in a glass case), to the incoming commander. It’s a tradition unique to the Jolly Rogers and continues to this day with their newest incarnation, VFA-103.

    It's huge man, nearly 4 ft. Though, the Eagle and Flanker, from what I've been told, may turn out even better.

    Roy? Is that you?
    Haha. Hey we can call it his offscreen Skull 1 from Macross Zero, or during the UN wars. Speaking of which, with F110 GE400 engine nozzles, Shin Kudo's F-14B Kai won't be that hard to make...

    The major concern I have with the F-14 prototype is the Canter of the Tails. Will this be fixed for the production model? and it has a lot of F-14 B stuff except for the engine nozzels

    do you mean the vf-84 that is slanted on the tails? if so that looks just awful.

    He means the angle at which the vertical stabilizers veer outward.

    eeh, i realized that after i made that comment, but still did anyone notice that the vf-84 is not straight.

  19. jcarpent has no avatar! jcarpent says

    Thanks Shin that is exactly what I meant, and thanks for getting and posting all this information. I think you mentioned in another thread that they may fix this on the production one, I hope so.

    And thank you Sapphireneonut, that VF-84 does look bad, hopefully just the prototype.

    Back to reality guys! The MAIN question is how long before we can buy this "gattone" ? I recall someone wrote it was going to be available from the end of Oct. and the beginning of Nov. Any (good) news about it?
    Ciao da Roma.
