| Which Tomcat comes next??
I was pondering which Tomcat will Century Wings release next in 1/72. (Gotta specify since 1/144 is out)
Of course this is what's out now:
VF-84 Jolly Rogers (Don't need to list all the ones, they all have the same paint scheme)
VF-41 Black Aces
VF-111 Sundowners
VF-21 Freelancers
VF-154 Black Knights
VF-101 Grim Reapers
VX-4 Evaluators
I was trying to interpret based on what's available against any trends or patterns to see if I could gauge what could be next. It seems that CW likes to make planes in a combination of these: 1. Very pronounced livery (all are visually appealing), 2. Squadron noteriety, 3. Carrier Wing or Aircraft carrier pairings, 4. Some sort of historical significance (VF-154 was the last squadron to use the "A" model, VF-101 received the very last Tomcat flight class). In light of all this here's the 7 most likely which I think we'll see:
In order of most likely
VF-1 Wolfpack
VF-2 Bounty Hunters
(These two because they're the first Tomcat squadrons, they were paired together for a long time, their liveries are very striking
VF-84. Yep the Jolly Rogers. I really think CW is going to try to make each of this squadron's birds. After AJ201, could AJ207 or AJ222 be next??
VF-32 Swordsmen. I know Witty makes one but c'mon, they ain't CW. VF-32 had Mig-killers in 1989. Plus the CAG bird looks great
VF-33 Starfighters. Can't think of anything historical, and no one else has made theirs, but man does that black tail CAG VF-33 bird with the lightning bolt on the side look great or what?!?
VF-143 Pukin Dogs. Nobody has a name or logo anywhere as cool as theirs. Plus they have a couple CAG versions that would look fantastic in our hangars
VF-211 Checkmates. Great looking scheme and they've been involved in both Iraq wars and have lots of combat time.
Let's discuss not what we think will come out just cause it's our favorite squadron, but reason it out.
What do y'all think fellas?? |
