JSI 1/18 F-14A Tomcat Updated Pre Production Images

Posted on November 19, 2009 at 12:32 am by Shin Densetsu under Military Toy News

Merit International has updated their site today with updated images of the JSI 1/18 F-14A Tomcat VF-84 Jolly Rogers in production now at the JSI factories. The largest and most ambitious 1/18 model to date by JSI, the 1/18 F-14A Tomcat features an abundant amount of detail and paint applications. Of course with the VF-84 Jolly Rogers version on it’s way, it’s often wondered what the next repaint or release will be.

Could it be a VF-154 Black Knights release? Or perhaps a VF-41 Black Aces bird? Both squadrons were some of the last to use the F-14A Tomcat in combat, and both did use it as a “Bombcat” during it’s last years in service. Worth mentioning is that the mold itself is a late block F-14A, so the Black Knights and Black Aces later paint schemes are more accurate choices for production. *If JSI decides to retool the mold later on into an older block F-14A, it will be more accurate for numerous squadrons, and perhaps the SU-22 killer F-14A’s from the Black Aces could be made*

The updated images show the following being assembled on the factory line:

  • Front landing gear
  • Air intake
  • Ejection Seats
  • Cockpit instrument panels for pilot & RIO
  • Randome assembly
  • Cockpit side panel
  • Speed brakes

    Update from Merit:

    Quote:
    After posting the production pictures of the coming 1/18 "Jolly Roger" on our website, we have been receiving many emails and phone calls. We thank you for your concerns and very happy for your constructive criticism to make sure the JSI turns out a great product.

    The "Leopard spots" in question are just one of the in progress pictures amongst over 1,000 steps during the production. These "Leopard spots" are actually on purposely made darker at the stage when the picture is taken and will gradually or magically look lighter in color after more layers of paint be sprayed.

    Please stay tuned to our web site for the transformation.
    Again, we thank you for your support!
