Will Admiral bring out the F-4 Phantom now?

With 21st Century's future not looking to good, do you guys think this might be a good time for Admiral to rethink their F-4 project? They could have the only 18th scale F-4 in the game now. I sure hope so.

It's been a long road, but I am still in the game. :)

I think Admiral was the only one that actually intended to produce the Phantom in the first place. My opinion is Admiral is playing it smart by laying back and scoping the economic situation. They aren't running up bills they can't pay on something that can't be proven to be a sure thing. I think they'll make it. :)

If 21st ceases to produce any type of producs for sometime, the other manufacturers like FOV or BBI should take advantage and start producing anything in 1/18th scale. By doing so, they have a great opportunity to be the major player in this scale, that is, if they believe it is worth it.

I hope they're reading this right now because I know I would get at least 2 of them. Then hope for an F-105 Thud. :P

I can't imagine we wil see any of the bigger more expensive birds anytime soon. No one is going to stick their neck out right now especially. I would love to have the chance to get one though.
