The very next post I read stated they where not making any FAC aircrat and an FAC was not one of the two aircraft in production......shoot.

Any body mentioned a Hind!!!! or Su 25 Frogfoot? Now I'm just plain guessing, back to re-reading the posts.

I bet he edited it out of a post, I have noticed a few edits here and there.

I have now finnished re-reading all the post including reading between all the lines and I'm exausted, but Ok one last shot before i go and hit the hey......

I think this is a clue in itsself:

"The name of the aircraft is "one" name. Therefore, if your answer is more then 1 name... you are wrongish! "

One name can be two names ie Birddog, Tomcat, Wildcat etc....

On the other hand what about a He 219 UHU (owl) that would be sweet and unusual but I think at the same time very popular.

Even though my preference the Arado Ar234 Blitz has already been ruled out, maybe a I can strecth this to YP80 Shootingstar or a Gloster Meteor.

As far as WWII for me there is not much left that has not alredy been mentioned apart from the Me 163 Komet or a if you want to push it a DH Vampire was almost WWII.

I do not think anyone has mentioned any WWII Russian stuff like the Mig 3, Yaks 3,7 & 9 or La 7! now I'm just fishing.

Good night all

Let me say any Mig?

Did I say too much?

BTW Aferg, I said Skyraider

The A6 is the Intruder, not Invader, just in case Jason is going by names rather than A or F, etc., designations.

Wow, we have a feeding frenzy!

I admit the aircraft has been mentioned.

You guys have guessed the aircraft. But the rules of the game are if someone can point me to the actual hint in which I give the name of the aircraft. Up to this point, this has not been done.

So if someone wants to compile a list of all the aircraft said in this “interview post” you have our next aircraft on that list. I admit a lot of aircraft have been mentioned, but at least you are looking at it?

I will give you one more hint about my "latent" hint. It was three words!

Look on the bright side you have learned a lot about Admiral Toys. I know you didn’t read my past posts with such concentration and critical observation as you have the past couple of days.

Thanks for being good sports about this. I am sure this guessing game will get old real quick (Maybe it already has for some of you). I am sorry that I cannot just come out and tell you. Everyone at Admiral Toys made a promise to one another that we would show restraint and unveil the aircraft at the toy fair.

Regards,
Jason

so are we to assume then, that it has been mentioned since the post you made yesterday, where you stated it had not been guessed yet? I think we have to, because otherwise that post was a falsehood and that would mean Jason tells falsehoods and i don't think i could deal with that right now at this point in my life.

Jason a Lawyer, enough said

F. 1. 4. are three words and I gave you the hint

it's an F-105 Thunderchief.

Splash was in quotes...it's not a splash, it's a Thud.

I don't recall this being mentioned before, so it's likely out to the ball park. Jason mentioned earlier that it flew in several wars as well as by civilians. At a different time, that it will make a big splash. Howwa 'bout the A-26 Intruder, flew in WWII, Korea, VN, and made a big splash as a firefighting airtanker in civie hands. Likely not, of course. Mabbe something along those lines of divination of Jason's clues.

If that’s the case the new need a Major "Cliff" Cushman US Air Force MIA version andI tell you will sell every one, most folks in Grand Forks ND know who he.

A-26 is quite a good guess. Also fits into the 'not much requested' clue and the 'one name' clue.

The three word clue Jason referred to may have been something like 'coming from abroad' or 'coming here unexpected, which kinda defines what an invader does.

Post by **aferguson** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 4:10 pm

mind you typhoons and tempests make splashes, are one word names and the Tempest has not been much requested at all. Kind of obsure choice though.

Then there's the possibility of...

This is driving me crazy.

WHAT'S THE GOSH DARN ANSWER!!!

FieroDude · Post by **FieroDude** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 4:15 pm

We'll know soon enough... Just another couple months. Which, based on past situations like the Avenger, isn't that long! Which is worse: knowing something you really want is coming, then waiting 2+ years for it, or anticipating something that will arrive soon, and will be a total surprise on top of it?

chunks · Post by **chunks** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 4:20 pm

Oops, that should'a been A-26 Invader, not Intruder. Sigh. To paraphrase one of the folks here and directed back at me, "How many ways to go stupid, Stupid?."

EnemyAce · Post by **EnemyAce** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 4:32 pm

Whatever it is, look for 21st to announce their version of the same thing to be coming out soon.

oops i made the same mistake. I know it's A-26 Invader.....merely a mental lapse. Honest.

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 6:00 pm

...and upon seeing "Intruder" I was wondering why you thought the A-6 Intruder fought in WWII and Korea

grunt1 · Post by **grunt1** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 7:15 pm

But if we do make a showing in the 1:18 market, it will be with a splash. (Was that a hint?)

Regards,
Jason

It's sooo obvious....

Moth · Post by **Moth** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 9:36 pm

Ill keep looking for your post Jason...

The person who guessed the plane (not the post) should at least get a discount...

Moth · Post by **Moth** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 9:41 pm

"Jason: The only comment I have is as follows: In my opinion the F-5 is one of the slickest looking aircraft. It just looks like a fighter. Since the late 80’s the F-5 has captured the feel of a dogfighter in the eyes of many, and the youth of today see models that look like the F-5 as the quintessential fighter. We think it will be a strong seller. I cannot say whether you will see the F-5 at the toy fair. It might not be ready for release at that time."

If the answer is the F-5, as a trick, then there is the quote

i was going to say the F-5 but you beat me!

pokeyjtc · Post by **pokeyjtc** » Sun Dec 17, 2006 12:07 am

I don't really know have much of a guess, but I would love to see the A-26 Invader. It is one of my favorites, plus plenty of repaint opportunities.

I talked to Jason at the Wings Over Houston airshow back in October, but he wouldn't tell me any of the upcoming new planes then either no matter how many I promised to buy.
