So it turns out our initial hunch yesterday was correct, JSI will be producing 1/18 Flight Deck Crew and 1/18 Flight Deck Vehicles! According to Tales Of The Cat, Merit International announced their plans this weekend at iHobby EXPO:
Distributor Merit Intl announced at the Ihobby show in Chicago that they are collaborating with JSI to build flight deck accessories for the 1:18 F-14 Tomcat. No dates or prices are available but these pieces will no doubt be appreciated by collectors of this scale. Interesting stuff!!
Flight deck crew and vehicles but no pilots? Not necessarily! JSI had informed us that they were working on new pilots and figures, as we reported here. In addition, Bad Cat Rob posted news that 1/18 F-14A Tomcat fans will surely be excited about:
My sources tell me pilots for the F-14 are in development and should be here Q1.
So for those of you buying the JSI 1/18 F-14A Tomcat VF-84 Jolly Rogers, those cockpits won’t be empty for too much longer! Click on the title bar to see more images of the 1/18 Flight Deck Crew and Vehicles!
JSI 1/18 Flight Deck Crew And Vehicles Plus Tomcat Pilots
next month hopefully, i can't wait!
The model was shown at a number of shows already, which is certainly more than 21st's F-4, MIG-21, B-25, and Admiral's Skyraider, F-4, and Mosquito.
We'll see the Tomcat
Guess I can ask to Santa as Xmas gift?
Hey, be happy we're getting an F-14 in 1/18 scale. I can put up with delays as long as JSI keeps us informed and we keep seeing new news about it.
I think that once the F-14 is released, we will see a whole new ball game from JSI as far as product release and interaction with collectors.
Keep up your faith....
