Sad = the tears of the Phoenix are claimed to have healing powers.
It flies = self explanatory.
Gillette = close (as in close proximity to.)
Answer = U.S.A.F. Thunderbirds.
They all have a large phoenix painted on the underbelly. They fly. They are in close formation.

One hundred and fifty three - 1:18 scale aircraft on the ceiling looks :shock: damn good!

But that would be a repaint of the F-16.JohnLumley wrote:Sad = the tears of the Phoenix are claimed to have healing powers.

Re: f-14
Just for scale reference, this is a Tamiya 1/32 Tomcat next to a 21st 1/32 P40, and thats a std posterboard, the thing would be HUGE!digger wrote:A Tomcat would be a sight in 1/18:
L: 41 inches
H: 10 inches
WS: 42.6
I wouldn't mind if you were correct Shin, though my wallet might..

Its probably an F-14 or an F-15 in my opinion. Here is a list that I'm sure the plane will be on. BBI is known for their modern stuff over any other era. An F-14 or F-15 would just make sense to go along with the other two jets that they already have.
A-10
F-4
F-14
F-15
F-22
WWII
F6F Hellcat
SBD Dauntless

dam it! I thought I was on to something with the XB-70 Valkyrie.
Sad = Valkyrie
Flies = Yeap
Gillette = mach 3 flight speed
Then I discovered the thing was as big as an airliner - doh! Back to the drawing board.

"you get in a steep dive in this thing and you've got almost no maneuvarabilty at all. You couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with the broad side of another barn"
I think it is going to be a aircraft carrier! USS Yorktown..no maybe the it is the USS New Jersay! I always wanted my own Battlewagon I have plenty of room for a 1/18 scale WWII aircraft carrier or battleship! I guess it would not be tooo bad living outside
"Tigers!?.....Where did the Tigers come from!?!"
Hmm, Gilette make razor blades, which is what has become of most the the West's hunter-killer submarines (most of the WarPac subs have become rusting, radioactive harbor filler!)... A sad end for masterful pieces of engineering (can tell I never sailed in one, can't you ) so that's my guess - an Ohio-class nuke.lsc1002 wrote: I think it is going to be a aircraft carrier!

Oh wait, Da Man said it flies. Belgium!
My Guess
Might as well get in on the "brain-drain". From what I've read so far....and this is a SWAG at best....here's what I've been able to deduce.
SAD= Swedish Air Defense
It flies=Hope so or it's an expensive paperweight!
Gillette had a similar one a few years ago= Gillette Mach 3 Razor commercial.
Here's the explination. If you look at the SAAB JAS-39 Gripen, especially from the front, it bears an outstanding resemblance to the aircraft pictured in the Gillette Razor commercials. The "SAD" I explained earlier as the Swedish Air Defense, who were the primary receivers of the JAS-39. And as for "it flies"...try Mach 2.0 clean in level flight....booogedy booogedy! Now the size of a Gripen would be around the same as the F-16 and FA-18 models already produced...or smaller...soooo....Left Field techno, but that's my guess, and I'm stik'n to it!
