The Fighting 1:18th! The best Military 1:18 scale site on the net!
Merit International has posted up new pictures of some upcoming JS International 1:18 scale releases from the 2010 Hong Kong Toy Fair.
The confirmed JSI 1:18 Sukhoi SU-27/Shenyang J-11 was on display showing off a massive armament, but no landing gear was being used or was connected to this piece. Hopefully, JSI will provide a better solution for the landing gear on this spectacular aircraft rather than reuse the same flimsy gear system we saw on the F-14.
Also on display is the, until now, unconfirmed Series 2 F-14 based on the Iranian Grumman F-14 Tomcat. From the picture we doubt this is a production piece, but a mock-up to show what JSI wants the plane to look like. We’re hoping that the plane doesn’t turn into spot gate 2010.
There are numerous other things in the pictures that are shown as well. If you want to discuss those, please join the discussion at: http://forums.fighting118th.com/showthread.php?t=1852

Thanks to Fighting 1:18th forum member Beeavision for the information!
Can any one tell me When in gods green Earth will JSI come out with 1/18 scale Modern pilot for any modern jet plane. Sky works has several different types and they look like junk in my opinion and cost 30 to 35 dollars for each one. I am sure JSI can do much better for the same amount of money. For the amount of Money JSI demands for the modern jet planes, I demand a modern 1/18 pilot; I can’t see why I would won’t to buy another jet plane unless it comes with a modern pilot. Any and all comment welcomed.
