I think the F15 Won the vote but haven’t heard anything since or any announcement from BVM so not sure what’s happening

I just wish they would get the new F15B out. I was told initially 5 months which is the first of August but was told today it will be quite a while.

Yes. Since early Feb. Was told 5 months after factories resumed work from chinese new year. "Quite a while" is the best estimate I get now.

I think it will be a common theme with the Chinese manufacturers just now, haven’t heard from Skymaster or T-one with new planes for ages

They were that way before Covid. I think from now on if a kit is built in China I will pass. Limits my choices a lot but im tired of sending them money and waiting months past the date they said.

Don't know of anyone building A7 kits, how about an absolutely gorgeous F8 Crusader with lots of extras all of which are scale?

I'm in the same situation on another jet, I ordered 9 months ago with soon going into another 4 month delay. While I know there is a lot they can't control and I'm sure it hasn't been a easy year for them. I am in agreement they can't keep taking money and no end in sight, they have been in business long enough to know there capabilities and setting expectations, yes If I don't want to wait I can cancel and get a refund but that's not the point. Does anyone know other than the Bandits made in the US, is everything else made by Jet Legend in China?

Heard that rumor too. But what is "large"? Will it be a Jet Legend sized F-4? Or bigger? If it is the JL model, I'd really consider it, nice size plane. Big, but still manageable for one person.

Just a hunch but I bet it's about this size:

Jet Legend F-4

It would be better if they spent time filling filing orders instead of designing new ones

If it’s 1/6 scale then it’s 10’ minimum

Considering the factory works in a global market and not just the US, 20-24 weeks is usually the average lead time for almost all PNP models.
