Admiral/ Bad Cat's new aircraft in 1:18

Jason of Admiral Toys · Post by **Jason of Admiral Toys** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 4:57 am

Well the title is the first bit of news!

Furthermore, for $140 it is a safe bet that it is not an F-5.

However:

The day has arrived in which you will learn the identity of Admiral's new aircraft in 1:18.

However, I have been up since 4am putting the final touches on the Hartmann CL-13 with my brother. It is currently 6:46. We will leave for the show soon. Unfortunately for you the show does not start until 10am eastern time. You have a couple of hours to wait.

Furthermore, the aircraft has been sitting on a table for the last day! But I do not have my camera charged and we do not have time to post pics during the day.

Maybe someone from this site will stop in and take a photo.

I just wanted to say hello from New York and let you know that the aircraft is available for photos if someone could take them. Until photos are seen the aircraft will not be revealed. I think it should be a photo reveal.

Regards,
Jason

Oops, my clock is wrong! I am a half hour off. Sorry.

Thanks for the post, I would have been off all day!

Sorry again, no PMs.

Jason

Ok, I must leave for the show. However, I think I have found a way to get you some photos around 2PM EST.

Hope you enjoy,
Regards,
Jason

Awesome--can't wait!

A joint effort?

Perhaps Admiral is producing the aircraft and 21st will supply the crew?

If so, that would be an excellent package!

With all of the clues Jason gave before, and now the clues from Badcat. I'm thinking it has to be either an A-10 or F4 Phantom. Although no one wants an A-10 more than me (OK Birdog, you win

) An F-4 has many more paint scheme possibilities such as the Thunderbirds and such. So, only a few more hours until we know, but if I were a betting man, I'd say it is going to be an F-4 Phantom. (Thoughts?. c'mon, we've got a few more hours to kill!

)

Well, if it does turn out to be an F-4, then we still have that holy grail of modern aircraft to look forward to, as well!

Well I'm disappointed its not an A-10 but still an F-4 was high on my list as well so I'm pretty happy with the new release can't wait to see more pics of the prototype!

..........Niiiice!

I look forward to seeing which paint schemes are planned for the Phantom, but man its going to be a long wait.

Now, how about that A-10? 21C? bbi? Anyone?

Nice work Admiral Toys and Badcat. The F-4 is going to be a real winner. The bar has been raised yet again.

Good news.

Good choice.

I'm glad it's a two-seater.

We needed a couple more VN era planes.

Big Duke 6 · Post by **Big Duke 6** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 9:33 am

WOW that is cool, I imagine and hope it will be the camo scheme pictured. That looks like the 1/48 armor aircraft diecast in the photo. I am in big time....

Birddog · Post by **Birddog** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 9:49 am

I do wish it was an A-10, but.....IT'S AN F-4 PHANTOM....BEAUTIFUL.....

....I'm IN on this one for sure!

Great choice Admiral Toys!!!

This is a monumental step IMHO for us big jet fans...like the A-10...

Thanks Admiral Toys for giving us another superb aircraft for our collections. No doubt who REALLY is listening to what the fans/collectors want...

Where's KAGNEW by the way...somebody wake him up!!!!

Let's keep our eyes peeled at 2:00 p.m................

FieroDude · Post by **FieroDude** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 9:59 am

Move over F/A-18 and F-16--there's a new centerpiece for the modern aircraft collection

OK, now to figure how to stay patient for the next 10 months

I am sooooo looking forward to this bird! Great choice, Jason! The F-4 is my second favorite jet aircraft! And only a select few (like everyone on the board) know the first

Only about 340 days to go...

immeww2 · Post by **immeww2** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 10:00 am

This is one plane that is a must have! It's the first jet plane I built when I got into modeling.
