Heineman's Hot Rod

Post by MiG29K » Tue Mar 21, 2006 9:40 am

I think the McDonnell Douglas A-4 Skyhawk is definitely in order here for 1:18. It's perfect: A small plane would translate to a relatively small model compared to other planes, it's sleek, nimble and has paid it's dues! Another worthy jet in the history of Naval Aviation. Let's see which company may go for it!

A-4 has my vote. USMC scheme of course.. :wink:

OOORAHH! If they produce the planes minus squadron markings I'll probably make mine VC-10 Fleet Composite Squadron Ten, Guantanamo Bay Cuba... They've since disbanded. Makes me wonder, who is going to provide air cover to the base? Key West Squadrons? They better throw the throttles to full military if they're going to say confront any Cuban transgressors... But that aside, USMC is a definite!

VERY cool idea.

I could see buying several.

A Blue Angels version would look great next to the F-18.

Of course, an operational squadron version would be a must.
