I didn't know JSI had the 109G mold. I think some repaints there would be great.

That could be the bbi 109G which would make sense in the Merit booth, right?

Are we sure it is a "G" variant? It looks to me like the nose is a bit more squarish and that the wing tips are straight - making it the E variant. We do know for certain that JSI has the old 21c Bf-109E tooling.

If it is the BBI Bf-109G, it would be nice to get a repaint in a more standard green & gray cammo

I like the box, now I won't be tempted to throw it out after unpacking the jet.

WOW! I love how the F-14 model looks in it package. I can look at that all day. What a cool plane this is!

It is obvious a great deal of thought went into this model. So nice to see it does not come in a box with those darn ties holding it down. I wish I could afford two, and I would leave one in the box to show everyone!

super super salivatingly awesome!

Them deck crew n vehicles... very cool would love to get hold of them

That box with the neat handle... easy to lug it around to "show off" to your buddies or co-workers at the office or that chick at the bar...err maybe not...

Cool....but where is the ladder, the panel opens up but does not go all the way down and I don't see the ladder..oh well I will have to check it out when I get mine.

Very nice way of packaging the plane.It will also help cut down on shipping costs.

This plane just keeps getting better and better everytime some more pictures are shown of the near final version.

I swear, parts and assembly looks awfully similar to 4D Vision's 1/32 F-14.

Now who says JSI isn't listening to what collectors are saying.......pure win on this endeavour.

I smell an A-10 and an F-4 in our future if this type of thing keeps happening.....

Wow, they are really beginning to think out of the (manufacturer's) box. I'm sure pilots can't be far behind. And just think what this implies for the future, armorers, Fueling Personnel, etc.

You'll forgive me if i say i'll believe it when i see it.

Great, does any one know how hard it is to switch out towbar heads in 1/18th scale?

It's hard enough in real life

Trotting out repaints of someone else's work doesn't mean squat to me.

I will judge JSI on THEIR work, and THEIR ability to deliver.

You've forgotten that is very easy to claim something is coming, and quite tough to see it through.

by trying to keep a positive attitude toward this project : i am wondering what are the measurment of this beast ? wingspan & length ? does anybody can help me prepare my display space ?

Ta-152 · Post by **Ta-152** » Mon Oct 26, 2009 6:43 am

If the conversion i did was correct, just over 41" long, over 42" wing span, spread.

By chance does anyone build a glass/plastic display box this size? It'll be so big I'll have to have it made into a coffee table

You're probably looking at a custom job.
