Auto Art made one with fabric seats too but with the top down. Very detailed but quite expensive at $274.00 retail. Unfortunately out of stock though. However there are a few on ebay going for over $300 to $400. A little too rich for my blood. At that price too bad the lights don't work. I would...

If you're referring to bbi's BF-109 "The Black Devil of Ukraine" I had purchased one a couple of years back and still have it. Personally I feel bbi did a great job on it. Same goes for the packaging. There is a few reviews up on SSHQ that may help you out further. Found this one, see link...

Fiber optic strands for flying debris, nice idea.

Flameless candles too.

ZD, I'm not sure it will give you the brightness you'll need but did you ever try using a cluster of LEDs instead? They don't radiate any heat at all and last usually longer then most standard bulbs. Just a thought.

Sweet!!!! I remember doing something very similar several years back for a senior thesis film in college. Used chicken wire and cotton to make the clouds and inserted a 25 watt bulb inside each one while hanging them from the trusses above the sound stage. Each bulb was wired into a control...

Nah, I was really just too lazy to post the rest of the photos of the set but good guess though. lol

I remember seeing these before.... but where? :confused: Oh, here we go.... lol :D http://forums.fighting118th.com/showthread.php?p=128865#post128865

When all else fails there's always Photoshop. :D

According to the article on Merit's site there will be other variations in this series. What this might suggest I have no idea. Different schemes/liveries or something else perhaps. The world may never know....12/21/12 lol

BREAKING NEWS!!!! This just in.... http://merit-intl.com/month/12-17-12/JSI-60007/

If they do make improvements to the mold and landing gears on the F-14 I'm expecting the price to surely go up. They will probably stick with the same armament from either the S1 or S2 to keep costs down on their end but that's a total guess on my part.

If they do plan to release another livery (Sundowners scheme) on the F-14 I wonder how many will actually be produce looking back at past sales and at what cost to the consumer. I'm guessing a very limited run this time around with a higher price tag then before. But that's all dependent on if...

Lets face it everything now a days is going up in price. I still remember when the most expensive Lego set was around $50. Today they are capping out at $150-200 a piece. And some of those are at Wall mart prices that are expected to still draw in a fairly large consumer crowd.

Looks a bit like Malcolm Mcdowell as he appeared in Star Trek: Generations. lol

Btw, I just noticed that the paint scheme in those recent photos are of the Battle of Midway. The pilot had me so destracted there for a moment that I almost missed that.
