Thanks very much for posting the photos.
Did you find out if the VF-84 "Jolly Rogers" paint scheme is low-visibility or high-visibility?

Just awesome!!! I could care less about moving flight control surfaces... use that work for better detail in other areas....
It's awesome to see modern jets being made again in 1/18. Can't wait to get this one in my collection.
Bring it on......NOW WHERE IS THE A-10 IN 1/18 SOMEBODY!!!!

Who says it won't? This looks like a prototype of sorts anyhow.
Even if it doesn't have all they list, so what? It won't stop me from buying one. I hope this doesn't start turning into a finger pointing contest right off the bat.
God Bless JSI for getting into the 1/18 modern jet world...

I am not pointing fingers just pointing out whats on on the JSI website.usmcchet9296 wrote:Just some info
This thing is HUGE
It was broken in transit so it doesn't look as good as it should
this is production pieces not a prototype
Look for it before xmas
No pilots are included but Merit is pushing for them to make some
I Don't mind that it will not have those features, but don't adversities them if they don't have them.
I agree God bless JSI.

I maybe wrong....but I still think this doesn't look like a production piece. Maybe for the most part it is. However, if it isn't going to show up until around Christmas, there is still time for them to do some alterations here and there.
Either way, it looks great to me and I'm ready for it.
After seeing these pictures and the pictures of the 1/18 F-15, my hopes for someone doing a 1/18 A-10 spring eternal for sure now....

It seems landing gear is made of clear plastic.
Also, check other pics from USMCCHET9296. No zimmerit on Panther and the M-16 halftrack have some parts unpainted.
