  1. The possibility exists that model be released again in 1/18 scale?

  2. My uncle was a pilot in the navy in the 80’s he flew the F,4 phantom and later the F,14 tomcat i wish had pictures of his unit marking on the jets he flew. i remember him taking my cousin and i to see the jets at his base in florida. and when i saw the F,14 tomcat i loved it at first sight, when i sat in the cockpit i loved it even more. For a fourteen year old boy sitting in a F,14 tomcat i was on cloud nine
