Jason on the F-4 will there be a navy version and will the wings fold on that model, when does it come out?
Also what paint version are you going to do on the F-4 and the Sky Raider?

And can we please have some extra ordnance.

Shin Densetsu · Post by **Shin Densetsu** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 9:26 pm

Jason,

THANK YOU for making the F-4! I can only imagine this will lead to well loved repaints such as the playboy VX-4, Navy/Marine liveries, and international liveries such as JASDF(GOOD GOD THEIR 50th Anniversary F-4E's were spectacular!) and Greece, Israel, et al.

VF-96, VF-84 Jolly Rogers, and VF-111 Sundowners are musts.

What about the F-5? Is that still waiting to be unveiled during toyfair? I realize it had a mixed reception here but I thought it was cool. Besides, if it does come out, admiral will have single handedly filled the vietnam era jet void in the 1/18 scale by producing 3 very important vietnam war era planes that fought hard and strong in the war!:F-4, F-5(first in USAF then in VNAF) and A-1!

These aren't planes that were around during the war but never fought, or planes simply before or after the fact;no, these planes were INTEGRAL to the war!

You guys deserve several pats on the back. All we would need now are repaints, a Crusader, a MIG-21, a MIG-17, and F-105 and I'd call it a day for the time being.

Thank you for bringing us some well awaited vietnam era planes!

*Seeing a relatively new company like yours take on such a huge fighter like this gives me hope that my beloved F-14 will some day be made. As they say; it can happen; and your work is proof of this*

I dont know, i like the model, but it seems a little crowded with all those decals?

Jason, a lotta congrats to you and yours. You've pulled off a major conquest here. I can't even start to express my appreciation for what you've shown. Keep at it.

Nice going Jason. I know making this many new planes is kind of a gamble, but I think you guys at Admiral made the right choice. Thanks for listening to the fans. You will definately see some cash from me.

Man, I can't even begin to tell you guys how this is. I'd moved to 1/18 when I couldn't see 1/72 well enough, just recently tried 1/6 (try lacing those leggings with tweezers and mag glasses!!) and now you guys are coming out with all this good stuff!!!

Ooopps

I have just noticed that the IR sensor under the nose is actually the one for a F4D version of the Phanton.

Acording to "in detail & scale F-4 Phantom II Part 1" this bulge is one of the few external visual differnces between the C and D models of the F4. As you can see above the D model bulge is clearly evident on the C model there should be no bulge here as the refernce picture below show.

Jason, love the 72 line up, but can you give any details on the 75mm howitzer, Russian assault gun and Japanese tank? Those are all must haves in my book and I hope you are still going forward on them. Also any further info you have on the possibility of 72 scale troops would be appreciated.

Keep 'em coming!

hi Jason
now that you have decided to build my favorite airplane
are you going to do tail number 66-7463 or do i have to do a couple of repaints

Gen Richie is one of the Starfighters team pilots and i want to give him one. he would love it.

thanx glen
PS thanx Birddog for getting my nose out of the paint and back to the group

Jericoeagle1 · Post by **Jericoeagle1** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 6:40 pm

So Jason does this mean that the A-10 is a little more plausible now? (Counting that the F-4 is a success).

What about the A-4, A-6 and A-7?

The A-5 is a skip because it's just too darn big and it was never very successful in it's intended attack role. It was mostly used for reconnaissance and only about 150 were ever made.

flpickupman · Post by **flpickupman** » Tue Feb 13, 2007 8:45 am

I second the A-4. Gotta have an A-4. Easier to tool, and easier on the customer's wallet.

Although an A-6 would be pretty sweet too.

So to recap..

In addition to one of these..

We need one of these..

..and one of these..

USCGSARdog · Post by **USCGSARdog** » Tue Feb 13, 2007 11:13 am

I would like an EA-6B please. Classic lines and heritage of the Intruder, updated to fight over todays battlefields with modern technology.

They aren't much to look at but I love 'em.

Well that just sucks 21 C is coming out with a F-4 as well. Less than sporting I say.

Where are people going to display 2 F-4's?

Like I always say, if you don't have room, MAKE room. Works all the time...but it does get hard. Still it can be done.

Plane Nuts · Post by **Plane Nuts** » Tue Feb 13, 2007 9:49 pm

Jason,

I am putting this here, because this is where you can communicate directly with your customers. I very much appreciated your comments on the F-4 debacle, and your candor is what makes being your customer so much worth my while.

Stay your course. Keep doing what you do best, and do not worry about what the "competition" does behind your backs. You can be assured that you have already captured the warm and fuzzies with a dedicated group of retailers, while your "competitor" sold their souls to a certain retailer, and despite their better judgement have their hands tied behind their backs.

I know what I will buy, and so far, there is nothing keeping me from getting all of your planes (sorry, not much of an armor fan!).

Timbo · Post by **Timbo** » Tue Feb 13, 2007 9:50 pm

Jason, if you guys decided to do an F-4 in the Thunderbirds scheme, one of their aircraft is parked just a few miles from me. It is accessible to the public (except the cockpit) and I would be more than happy to take as many pictures as you need for reference. The next time I am out that way I will try and verify what model it is.

IIRC, the Thunderbirds have some pretty serious hoops to jump through for officially licensed merchandise. In fact, I would bet that is what kept BBI from doing the F-16 as a Thunderbird.

Not saying I don't want one!!!

Jason,

you know have a guaranteed F-4 sale here. Hell, who needs a woodshop in the barn--let's make it a 1/18 museum instead. Chalk me up for em all.

Quality talks. I listen. You have my vote.
