Re: Pics Ra-5c Vigilante On Display At Sanford Int Fl

The Vigi was a beast, and quite possibly the prettiest aircraft to ever grace the decks of a carrier....I would love to see this in diecast..Unfortunately, aircraft with a designation beginning with 'R' are pretty much spotlighted in anonymity in the diecast world...

Yes, ain't that the truth...

However, I think there may be a glimmer of hope with Century Wings, based on their releasing the A-6 Intruder. Not an "R" plane of course, but one that I would have given up for dead as far as diecast is concerned. So maybe, just maybe, if they continue with their "US Navy of the 70s/80s" train of thought, someday we might see an RA-5C from them (probably after an A-7 and F-8).
