Century Wings released 5 variations of the early and mid-80's VF-84 Tomcats... in factory-fresh paint, and they all sold out, every last one! And not just VF-84, also VF-41 Black Aces. Both of these are still in HUGE demand. <a href="http://s449.photobucket.com/albums/qq215/glcanon/?action=view&curr...

I agree with Dragon53... looks like JSI nailed the 1989 scheme "spot on." <a href="http://s449.photobucket.com/albums/qq215/glcanon/?action=view¤t=Spotted_Cat.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq215/glcanon/Spotted_Cat.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Actu...

Huh, I don't see a message board for diecast, I'd like to look at that. Can you post link, Dragon53? thanks

Some rare 1/72 Tomcats and Phantoms on EBAY

There's two somewhat rare Century Wings Tomcats on EBAY, incl 70's vintage Back Aces and a AJ201 Jolly Rogers Tomcat circa 1978.

Also a Hobbymaster 1/72 Steve Ritchie F-4D Phantom II and a 1/72 Cunningham SHOWTIME 100...

I'm just saying...

Well that's the trick, I guess. Do the research. I can't afford an unlimited collection like Chairmanmilo, so I try to research the examples of each model and get the "best" one. Or I sit back and wait until they come out with one I will like. There's a 1/72 Skyraider coming out shortly, but I can't...

I'd seen this Dragon F-15E one posted on Ebay in May and it included GBUs: DRW 50149 Look at the front of the box, it even reads, "Extra weapons." http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/3deb9868650e712fd0130f0291d5c512 <a href="http://s449.photobucket.com/albums/qq215/glcanon/?action=view¤t=DragonF15...

Brilliant, Dragon53. I may hv to outfit one myself if there's no diecast that comes with the GBUs. Either that, or purchase a 1/72 resin kit with all the ordnance and built & paint the weps myself. Anyone out there know of any Witty or Dragon F-15 that come with GBU bombs? Or, what is your favorite ...

Best 1/72 scale F-15 Eagle / F-15E Strike Eagle

I collect 1/72 aircraft and always try to find the best example of each aircraft in that scale to add to my collection. I presently have a Witty "Weapons School" F-15 but would like to add a F-15E Strike Eagle that, (A) Looks nice, and (B) comes with bombs. I hv seen photos of Dragon's F-15E "Rocket...

I still find the 1/72 Century Wings F-14s to be the best. Plus the wings swing as they're supposed to. But I'm partial to 1/72 scale. Even so, I have 6 of these Century Wings Tomcats in various liveries.

I collect primarily 1/72 aircraft, but I do have a couple larger scale aircraft in collect, namely a 1/144 "Bock's Car" B-29 and a 1/48 "Old Crow" signed by Bud Anderson. I think it would be neat if I could get Chuck Yeager to sign one of my Glamorous Glenn P-51's or have Pres. Geo. H.W. Bush sign m...
