I hope I live long enough to see all these produced. If in fact, that is what they are doing. Making models of the movie Acft. I'd still go fo an A-4,RA-5C,F-4 and A-1 Century Wings are Great.

Then you can ask HobbyMaster to do a T-6 painted as a zero!
besides, I thought HobbyMaster were going to do an A-7?

since we're 3/4 of the way there with the Intruder, why not a Prowler? :-)

Gemini Aces are doing the A-1

I really would love to see an F-8. The last gunfighter.

Thanks for the heads up!

Greetings Colt, welcome to the forum. Pursuing a modest Nam collection myself. Without duplicating (one of each) there were scads of US planes involved in that conflict. Props, Jets.Bombers, you name it. One lifetime is not enough to collect all of them. So soldier on.Enjoy the forum. It's a good place to be.

Just an unsubstantiated observation, but CW is apparently concerned with appealing to the market in Japan (read "Vandy"), so I'd think they'll go with what should be hot sellers there. Following that train of thought, we could see the F-4, F-15 or F-16.

That being said, I can already see a flaw in my logic, as neither F-14 or the A-6 flew with the JASDF. Who (besides Zed) knows...? But if they're as well done as the F-14, they'll sell.

If you were to look at modern aircraft, certainly the F-16 has quite the following in Japan. I would love to see the quality of CW on that particular model. But if I have read right, CW was looking to stay with the period or earlier of the F-14. Not totally out of the question with the 16, but it would be nice to see. The F-15 as well is a great aircarft of the time and seeing one angain in that quality would be super.

The F-14 is sexy in any country...hehe And the Jolly Rogers in particular is a no-brainer for Japan as it was used heavily in the Macross series for the fabled Skull squadron of Roy Fokker. There is even an anime about a mercenary air force called Area 88( do a search on veoh). They used F-8s, F-14s, A-4s, F-4s Harriers, Mirage F-1s, to fight against Mig-17s, and 21s...So if they only release what's popular in japan...I can live with that.

I listed F-4 first in my requests, because the only thing out there in 1:72 atm is corgi, which IMHO are not nearly as detailed as the CW offerings...
