To clarify, my point is not that I want an F-4 (which I very much do), but that that kind of post in meaningless and yet it shows up repeatedly in the A-10 thread over and over and over again. I'm over it already.

I understand what your saying of course. On the A-10 thread you can only go on so far wtih facts and things of interest. The goal is to show those in charge that the A-10 is not a passing fad in our mind (nor is the F-4 for that matter) its a serious want. By keeping the thread alive by any means we feel we keep it in the manufacturers minds. I intend to keep it up until I see an A-10 come to life. I'm 46 and I've learned to be quite stubburn in my days.

but that is water under the bridge

You have not been the ONLY F-4 writer my friend.

Um, not going to tell you how or what to post, but if not for Vulgar you would be the only one posting in this thread. I think 95% of the posts are yours. I admire your persistence, but do you plan to post here multiple times a day until the F-4 is in stores? If so that's your call, but if you could let us know it would save people time when checking the board. Even if the Phantom were a go today, it would still be many months before it was available. So, if we are going to have a constructive "sticky" for ten months just give us the heads up. Thanks

THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT

I don't have a problem with your post guys. I think it's great to see enthusiasm for an F-4. It's on my want list too. I just have a bigger passion for an A-10 like you do the F-4.

good news
ADMIRAL has not ruled out a 1/18 F-4 next
i can only hope

vulgarvulture · Post by **vulgarvulture** » Wed Jan 25, 2006 9:34 am

I did not see anything from Admiral specifically about this, other than the first list of potential a/c. Did I miss something recently about the list being narrowed down?

KAGNEW · Post by **KAGNEW** » Wed Jan 25, 2006 9:52 am

it was first on Jason's short list on 01/12/06
of next releases to be told in a "couple of weeks"

KAGNEW · Post by **KAGNEW** » Thu Jan 26, 2006 7:48 am

Kagnew, you crack me up dude. I'm a small scale guy, but check the 1/18 section from time to time, the Phantom Phacts are pretty interesting to me anyway...and mark my small scale words...if and F-4 came out in 1/18...that big bad bird would be mine!

amen!!!
they really seem to be listening to us!

Well I`m truely rooting for the F4. It is one of the most sexiest Airplanes in the sky even today

I recall growing up (early 80s) & most artist impressions of 21st warfare there was a F4 based aircraft over NATOs heads

Would be great to see this bird at 1/18th,though have to say an AV8-B/GR 5 is still High on the list of Aircraft at 1/18th for me too

I`m a helo lover first & well they have done the AH 64 already (sexiest Helo going

)

SO be nice to see an F4 or AV8-B/GR 5.
They`d be my FIRST buys of Accurate 1/18th Planes
