Anyone out there heard or have experience of Merit International models as they seem to produce blister packs of 4 B25s, Dauntless and Devastators.

Dauntless is in one of the card-only sets.......the Fire in the Skies set.
Stats can be asked for, and Max has some from New Zealand that I reposted starting here: http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/alb...hmentid=125995

Haven't seen them over here yet. Hannants have the 1/200 carriers, but not the planes

Received an email today that my order has shipped. Not bad to order on a Sunday and its out the next day. The company is from Mass here in the states so should have them this week. Will post how they are after Christmas.
Nice photo Rob. Better wait till it lands before the repaint

Can't get any. When I get into my Pay-Pal account it just goes into a meaningless loop of returning me to the order page. I have cookies turned on as well.

I have some spare devastator cards or are they Dauntless (Dive Bomber ones) as I bought 4 fire in the skies boxes. Paul/Rob let me know if you need any and I'll sort them out for you.
See you on the Dark Side......
A Dauntless card would be great Neil if you have one. I can then photo copy it for the other planes. Did they do a British marked one?

Unbelievable . Got my order of Dauntless and Devastators today from Sprue brothers in the USA Great models and took only 5 days to get here including Christmas day. ordered a book from the UK 2 weeks ago and still no sign!!!
Models are fantastic. Bombs away

Ordered mine when I saw this thread. They came while I was away but only took 4 days to get here. Not bad little models. They fill the gap until ARES gets theirs out.
Chris--checked out their site and they show as IN STOCK
Hope they consider making Japanese planes to counter the US planes. If so the may do Val/Kate/Zero and Betty. Kate and Betty would be a nice addition.

Will they take a lot of modification to be "in flight" models and how do they look afterward?
I will work on mine this week to see how to mount them. See how it works out.
Are they going to be too heavy for the Oberst's magnets Bob?

Bombs away or should that be bombers .

From photos I've seen, their B-25s need a repaint--as-offered Doolittle scheme is just HORRID. Wrong font for lettering, wrong spacing... it's just like "Did ya even TRY?!"
Thats what Christmas is for. A little paint and hey presto Pimp my B25
