dnl42 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I just found an entry the latest Hannant's email about a Merit 1/48 Grumman J2F-5 Duck. Google tells me it's a new tool! Also saw HobbySearch lists it available for pre-order at 5,865 yen. Assuming this does make it out, that 1/48 1/54 Glencoe J2F Duck in my stash will be in the to-be-sold pile... This picture was from the Grumman History Center in Plant 35 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 If indeed it's a new mold, then it's another Grumman aircraft model that is a must have for my collection. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DonSS3 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Does anyone have any info on Merit releases? Is this the same Merit from decades ago? They weren't known for highly detailed kits, so I'm wondering if we'll get a revised Glencoe kit or something worth shelling out the hard earned for... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Fifer Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 FYI, Merit International is a completely different company from the old Merit you're thinking of. http://merit-intl.com/meritnew/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KSL Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Thanking you, David, that what I wanted to know. Any info on the quality of their current offerings? Here is their 1/48 Gladiator http://www.kitreviewsonline.de/?p=6368 http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234993642-gloster-gladiator-mk1-148/ Sergey.

DonSS3 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Thanks, Sergey. It doesn't look like too bad of a kit. If this Duck ends up being a good price, I may have to break my self-imposed ban on biplanes (and sell of my Glencoe kit). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
