For $140, you know it has to be good :wink: (I hope :? )

I am going to be really pissed off if it is an A-10, it's really not worth $140, for me at least. I pray for a B-25, or something bigger.

BTW, an idea, it was never said that it was a plane :wink:

Maybe 21stC made a super-detailed KoingsTiger, or BBI made a Mil Mi-24!
Low chance, but anyway.

Well if it is a modern jet that blows all the arguments for an A-10. Lets hope for that or an F-4 but I"ll take a B-25 as well.

For that price tag - it better be a WWII Bomber...
Now I can see the F4 or F14 hitting $100

Let's see "Skunk Works", $140.00. How about a 1/18th scale SR-71. :lol: I hope it is indeed a small bomber. If that is the case, many of us said we would buy one right?

If its something from skunk works then it could be
P-38 Lightning
P-80 Shooting Star
XF-90
U-2
QT-2PC PRIZE CREW
Army-Lockheed YO-3A
A-12 Oxcart
SR-71 Blackbird
D-21 Tagboard
XST (Have Blue)
F-117 Nighthawk
F-35 Lightning II
X-27
Polecat

or if its something just from lockheed we could see a raptor,viking,c 130,or maybe a c141.

Ok for $140 at least a B-52 and maybe some star shells to go with it. :D You never know who will be building some surface to air missiles. You have to keep an eye on those Iranians. :shock:

Yeah - I'd save up for a $140 small bomber - If this is a $140 F4 or F14 or even a blackbird - I'll pass - i try to stick with WWII - even though i have caught into the early jet craze - thank Mr. WM Clearance for that path leading to no more room.

and if it is a bomber - we should be able to remove sections of the plane for placement of crew etc...

F-14 or F-4 would be much more involved and larger then the F-16 or F-18, and those are running about $100. $140 for either sounds likely, if not low.

I agree Chunks. Of course it's all just speculation until Sunday but anything in the size range of an F-4, F-14, F-15, F-22 would be a bargain at $140. The only thing that makes a B-25 "big" is its wingspan and those are narrow and thin. There's probably at least 25% less plastic involved in a B-25 vs. an F-14.

How about a ch-47 The blackhawk was around 65 bucks so why not double it. It is the workhorse of the us army. I'm praying for a hooker.

HOOAH!
