Which Vietnam jet do you want more in 1/18 scale?
Okay boys, hands down the 2 most popular planes of vietnam are the F-105D Thunderchief and the F-4 Phantom II with its infinite variants.
Here you have the workhorse, and the legend. If BBI or 21st were to do a vietnam 1/18 scale line of realistic aircraft, of these to which would you want to come out first>?

Shin's wishlist for 1/18 and 1/32 with retractable landing gear and more:
F-14 Tomcat, F-8 Crusader, A-4 Skyhawk, F-105 Thunderchief, A-6 Intruder, F-15C, F-15E Strike Eagle
F-14 Tomcat, F-8 Crusader, A-4 Skyhawk, F-105 Thunderchief, A-6 Intruder, F-15C, F-15E Strike Eagle

A-4 Skyhawk
A-6 Intruder
A-4 Skyhawk
A-6 Intruder

F-4 PHANTOMS were the plane that proved if you put enough power on a brick it will fly
it was so ugly that it was beautiful
it looked like a committee designed it. tailplane down wingtips up.but it outflew everything in the sky.and still holds its own today almost 50 years after first flight.
PHANTOMS PHOREVER

re
Well I basically made this assumption based on the notion that the THUD flew the most missions of the war, with the phantom trailing behind. Thats why i made it a phantom or thud type dig.
I'd love an F-8, A-4, A-6, and A-7. To be honest I like the sader better than the phantom but for the reasons above I left it out of prominence.
Then again who WOULDN'T want the good ol' MIG MASTER and last of the gunfighters?

Pistons and leaking oil.
You can't beat the sound of radial piston engines even in Vietnam. Bring on the "Skyraider" which spans the close of WWII, Korea and Vietnam. It was one hell of a workhorse.

F100 and skyraider
F 100 and skyraider seems good marketing choices (first century jet and korean - vietnam skyraider) they are good subjects for many possibles repaints (The french F 100 with shark mouthes looks gOOOOD !!!!!!)

Did I mention that I strongly desire an F-4?
I don't see how, in any stretch of the imagination, this significant aircraft in aviation history can be ignored in 1:18 scale. It just simply has to be produced.
Box size? Forgetaboutit. Even Mike at BBI says that box size is not really an issue for larger models.
Come on, 21st and BBI, how about it? Rob, Matt etal at BCA...what do you say?
