Just saw the 1:32 A-4M Skyhawk from VMA-214 (BlackSheep Squadron). Thinking if there was a jet model that could be built in 1:18 scale the A-4 would be it.

Actually, this wouldn't surprise me and I believe it could be toolings based on the Merit Dauntless. Merit has used Trumpeter toolings before.

I want Trumpeter to continue making 1/16 tank kits...something other than a KT. I put in my request for a Centurion MKIII or MKV to Hooben:)

I love the idea of a kit, but this is Trumpeter we're talking about---the kit will probably cost twice as much as the fully assembled model. :?
