Re: HM F-105 Thunderchief!!!

Just as long as we get lots of ordnance options...

Since I will only get one F-105, I'll be patiently waiting for USAAF SEA camo bomb-laden one.

Regards,

Sergey

Re: HM F-105 Thunderchief!!!

Assuming it's true, I'm pleased as punch to hear we will finally get an F-105 from HM. Indeed, this fine company will probably turn it out a lot faster than Model Power, which promised an F-105 of undetermined scale for 2008 ( that's probably rather optomistic on MP's part since they are still trying to get their SBD and Swordfish to the marketplace after announcing them three years ago).

In any event, I hope that HM's F-105 is planned for the 1:72nd sacle and has many ordinance options. Count me in for at least two of them.

Re: HM F-105 Thunderchief!!!

I would love to have an F-105. And hopefully, by the time they come out, the prices on some other planes, such as the F-100, will have dropped. Or better yet, someone here decided to sell theirs at a low price so they can now buy the F-105. ( HINT, HINT, Subliminal Message here )

If the prices for HM's models follow what CW's prices did, you better buy them as soon as you can! CW went from $59 to $69. HM's are still under priced at $49 in my opinion. But if HM raises their prices, I will be forced to buy far less versions of the same models.

Same here slide but at least you know you are getting quality for the price from HM amd CW and there is something to be said for that.

From what I have read and have been told, prices for our diecast will be rising. When and how fast?-- I don't know. However, it seems the costs of production in China are climbing, particularly labor costs. I just think the prices will be going up for these labor-intensive products--just a fact of economic life...

Yup, and we all have to accept that and live it!

Btw, good news about the Thud and I like mine in "South East Asian" camo and an F-105G Wild Weasel variant please.

Couldn't have said it better myself...Ordnance options is a plus for any model.
