I'd go for this one...

I agree with "combat machines first", but at some point I wouldn't mind seeing a Blue Angles A-4

You certainly wouldn't get any arguements with me if they were to do that scheme! It is definitely representative of the typical scheme of an RNZAF A-4. They were a common sight in the skies over where I live - the Skyhawks were based at RNZAF Ohakea, which is about 20km's from my home.

Yep..Had that one too...A4D (or represented one at least) in white plastic. One of the very first models that I superdetailed ("painted" the tires with black Magic Marker)..Hey, you didn't happen to have the Lindbergh F-8U with the retracts and ejecting pilot did you?....Ooooops, this is an A-4 thread isn't it?.... ....Sorry, everybody.

I've seen both the A-4 and F-8 in action; would love to see both (along with A-6) in a good 1:48 and 1:72 representation, Navy and USMC combat colors first. After that, colors of other nations who flew it and of, course, the Blues.

If someone would make a 1:72 and/or 1:48 USMC UH-34D, I could get 3000 sold in a month for a fair price. I have a 1:48 wooden one, but oh, for a diecast!

I hear you. Thaat would be awsome. THere is a heavy haul helicopter place that comes into our airport once in a while with an S-58. I always think of Full Metal Jacket.

I would absolutely love to see the A-4 made. I have been praying that someone would produce quality models of the the early jets. I would like to see everything from the P-59 Airacomet to the Phantom II. I really want to see the Navy aircraft like the FJ , Panther, Cougar.

These are the aircraft that my generation grew up in love with.

Now I'm just getting excited, now I'm gonna have to go buy something!

[admin]

I'm just saying.......If you want suggestions.....wink wink nudge nudge

Let's not forget that there are also Blue Angels and Agressor squadrons liverys for this aircraft.



Sorry, but I really excited about the prospect of this aircraft(era) being produced.

I would be all over an A-4, as well as an A-6, F9F, and a P-59.
