F-14B Tomcat "VF-154 Black Knights" With lights! by Merit/JS International
in 1/18 scale | The
american company Merit has released in cooperation with JSI a F-14B
Tomcat of the VF-154 "Black Knights" in a Limited Edition of only 888
pieces.
It comes with new weapons and lights! As if the new
paint sheme wouldn't be enough for most collectors, the new weapons and
the additional lights make this a beautyful collectors item of
high value! After having the customers treated with goose bumps and
stripes this is a relief for all treatments by JSI! So this is a totaly
overhouled B-Version which mostly shows in weapons.
Details of armament:
• AIM-9 Side Winder X 2
• AIM-7 Sparrow X 1
• AIM-54A Phoenix X 1
• GBU-16 X 2
• GBU-24 X 2
• AN/AAQ-14 LANTIRN Pod X 1
• Pylon for AN/AAQ-14 and AIM-9 X 1
• Pylon for AIM-9 and AIM-54A X 1
• Pylon - left for GBU missiles X 1
• Pylon - right for GBU missiles X 1
• External Fuel Tanks X 2
So
as if this wasn't enough the model too got lights, which let it light
up like a christmas tree. Well it's not that hard, but the effect
gives the whole model a kind of life. So position lights work, cockpit
interior is lit and also the exhaust glooms like the real thing! Unfortunately
this aircraft is still missing a piloting crew. Seems at JSI there is
nobody to be found to change this lack of crewmen until now!
We
will get only a small number of models at all and most are already sold
to collectors that had ordered the other F-14s before, too. So this was
our christmas special for them. We will get some extra probably.
You
now may order this item from our shop.
We have 5
more left to sell at the moment! So see the shop for details
please.

Model Discription
|
This model is the top of what was produced in 1/18 scale models ever!
The moving wings open up to over 1m of wingspan and are only the first
highlight! The model measures 1.05m from the pitot to the tail! Besides
opening radar nose with dish, the jetengine housings has a front an
rear fan installed. All airbrakes can be opened and the supersonic
stabilizer too.
The highly detailed landing gear has spring schock absorbers, which let
the model settle like the real thing to the landingear. It is
made true to the original in most functions and can be folded to the
landing gear box! Hereby the wheels rotate by 90°.
The landing gear flaps can be opend and closed by hand. This asks for some care and studying of the additional assembly instruction we provide with this model! The tires are made of rubber too.
The cockpit is highly detailed and painted. Also the steps for the
pilots entry are flapable on the side of the front fuselage! The canopy
also opens. The hook comes down and the rudders are turnable.
The model comes with a complet set of armament including 2 external fueltanks, 4 AIM-54
Phoenix, 2 AIM-9 Sidewinder and 2
AIM-7 Sparrow rockets. All insignia, warning signs and
maintenance stickers are printed on! Also on the tanks and rockets!!
The elevators and the wings are turnable, which can be driven from
parking position to slow flight maximum elevation.
The colors show the VF-84
"Jolly Rogers" as flown during the first Gulf War in 1991. Here the
older main paintjob was temporarily covered with a goose bumps like
sprinkle of dark gray spots with light gray/white inner spots. This was
a kind of first aid camo which was changed later on into a Low-Visability Camo consisting of several gray colors.
Included also is a information booklet on the F-14 and the Jolly Rogers squadrons. Which is written in English.
The model comes in a black box with handle, which is again wrapped in
plastic and packed into a cardboard box. The inner box has two tablets
where all parts are placed in a foam material to prevent damage. None
the less some care is recommended when unwrapping the parts! We don't
cover any broken off parts!
The inner box can be used for storing the model too. But only in
disassembled condition! The complete assembly is done by snap fit and
no tools or glue is needed.
We ship the model in the original package box, which has 8.3kg of weight!
Also we include an
additional instruction to the model, which contains information on the
landing gear assembly and some addditional hints!
