Flight of the Intruder
Just revisited this old film from 1991 and love seeing the aircraft in action. I wish some of these aircraft would make their way into 1:18 land.
A-1 Skyraider
HH-3 "Jolly Green Giant"
A-7 Corsair
C-2 Greyhound
F-4 Phantom II
MiG-17
A-6A
A-6B
The A-6 in the movie were A-6E's dressed to the part of A's and B's.
The movie is as good as I remebered and awesome display by the Skyraiders bringing some smoke....
The mobile AA for the NVA was a strecth.
Okay so now for a poll and a diffucult one at that pick one aircraft of the lot that would find a special spot in your collection.
Also threw in the ground option for our non-aircraft members.

But the corsair is cool too ! and all theses planes can be either USAF or NAVY/Marines !

I think we are all dying to see a A-10 at some point..... pretty good response so far to the poll. It just goes to show that there are a lot of popular models out there yet to be made.
I voted for the Jolly Green myself which was a hard choice for sure as the Skyraider and F-4 would get my money as well.
The HH-3 was a predecessor to the CH-53 not many were made but it was the aircraft featured in the movie.

Ther is a lot of diff between the two.cranedriver wrote:Damn one plane in the movie I missed adding to the poll. The Mig 17..... how different is the 17 from the 15 that we have from 21st?????
I have looked into doing this custom.
1. Front intake is diff.
2. The 17 fuse is fatter.
3. Rakes are diff in the wings
4. Air dams on wings diff.
5. Rudder is diff
6. Rear stab is diff.
7. I think that the arament is diff but I am not sure.
They used the same engine though.
Me -109 has been wanting me forever to do this mod and there are a few other guys who have been wanting me as well to .
Sorry for stealing your post Crane Man

Either the A-7 or F-4 would be awsome, the rest just neat. Either way I would get em all. How about a F-86D Sabredog? That would be a easy mod I would think, but yet distinctive enough to look very different from the conventional sabres. Although maybe not the most practical for size but one I would cherrish above all others is a SR-71. Rob, if your out there, I know you could do it.
