JSI JASDF 1/18 F-104J Revealed
 

Hi fellows, the "gattone" absolutely rocks!:cool:

hell yeah that f-14 just looks stunning, and keep in mind the only other company thats makes 1/18 f-14s wants 20 grand to do them, which is f...ing insane. so we are getting one heck of treat for a decent price. i want mine!!

The F-104 looks awesome too, always wished 21st made a JASDF one but they never got to it, never even released the awesome Bavarian repaint either. Don't know if you guys own a 1/18 F-104 but it is very detailed, very cool. Not as sturdy as the later jets like the MIG-15 and F-86 but it was a hint at things to come, as most of it's features were later implemented on the MIG and Sabre.

The landing gear are AWESOME. Spring loaded, locks into place, definitely made with user friendliness in mind. Detail is superb. I only wish it felt as sturdy as the BBI F/A-18 and that it was easier to get the pilot into the cockpit. Other than that, you can't go wrong with it.
