not to mention the words "Wolf Pack" written on the helmet haha
but atleast the black dude had a great VF-111 helmet. Thats the only helmet that looked like an actual one from all I saw

I wonder what they thought the impact would be if they had actual F-14 markings. Would they have thought, "The russkies would single them out just because they were in a movie!" or "Look! Its an Iceman! Get him! Look over there! its another Iceman! and another one! Boy are we having a field day today! Don't worry about those Maverick planes. They'll be too busy sulking in their cockpits!"

For folks here on the forum, there are plenty of "real" brids we would all love to see more. For the general public, movie tie-in's are probably a big seller.

Personally, I'd rather have a real life bird anyday.

I know this is a way late reply but I believe the producers basically just picked squadron insignia they liked, even though they were an F/A-18 and an E-2 squadron.

I think several fictitious airplanes would be kinda cool in 1/48 scale diecast.

What about a F/A-37 Talon (the Navy jet from "Stealth") and the MiG-31 Firefox?

A little OT but fictional aircraft from books are cool, too. Imagine Dale Brown's EB-52 Megafortress as a diecast (any scale)!

I voted no...and I am amazed that licenses are required to reproduce actual "in use" aircraft depicted in the movie "Top Gun" (oops, can I print those words without paying a licensing fee?) according to David. Are licenses required to make models from any movie that had footage of actual "in use" aircraft including "The Final Countdown" and historical documentaries?

Not interested in movie birds, perfer liveries of real aircraft.

I could go for a Dr. Strangelove B-52- as long as it included H-bombs and the Slim Pickens action figure!!!
