Was bummed to hear that they canceled the 1:18 F-16 in Thunderbird colors. Saw these pics today and gave me something new to desire for in the future!

Beautiful images check them out if you haven't seen them yet:

Would be interesting to see the Blue Angels colors on the F-35 too

don't know if you'll like this or not but it's almost exactly 1/18 scale.

It'll grow on you. I can remember how the F-4 seemed so lumpy and ungainly when I first saw it, in contrast to the sleek lines of the "century series" planes that preceded it. Believe it or not, people said the same thing about the P-38 once

I know one thing, being a former aircraft maintenance technician, the way that exhaust nozzle swivels down to allow vertical flight, looks like a maintenace nightmere. However I do like the looks, deffinetly not my favorite by anymeans, but if the price and craftsmanship were done right, I would like to have one in 1:18.
