What is the $140 F4 from Admiral going to do or look like that's going to be different from the 21Cs F4

There's really not to much surprising on this plane other than those big engines and the amount of ordanance it could carry. Maybe for $140 we'll get a talking pilot or a plane with jet engine sounds complete with afterburners. The size of the plane is almost the same as the Avenger so that don't count. Maybe a re-think on the price is in order. Right now I'm leaning towards 21C. Have a good one. Sarge
Level of detail would have a lot to do with the price of the model, and from what I have seen of other Admiral products the price differance might very well be worth it. Things like metal landing gear (a rumor I heard), moveable control surfaces, and interchangable ordanance, are all things that could increase the cost.
I plan on purchasing an Admiral F-4 (hopefully we will see on in Navy colors) and if the price is $140 so be it. I am going to support Admiral as much as I can because I think that they are geared more towards the collector. Their products are very well done, they have introduced several unique, and sought after aircraft, and from what I have heard on these boards their customer service is second to none.
What level of detail does this plane have? No slats,air brakes,or guns of any kind Moveable control surfaces are standard as well as sliding cockpit and poseable(?)pilot. The only things left to detail are the landing gear and ordinance. No big deal on these either, It would be nice to have
interchangeable ordinance but not $140 worth. How about a fully detailed,removable or accessable engine? That might lossen up my wallett.
They might have a second to none customer service as far as your concerned but I'm still waiting for (1) an answer to 2 emails sent to their CS dept regarding the screw covers for the 262 sent one and two weeks ago and (2) The screw covers themselves. seeing as they have begun distributing them back in Jan.
I don't care when I get them, just would like some feedback as to the status on them. Last I heard from Jason on them was a form letter the end of Jan that they had a big foul up on the order but that eventually I would get them along with everyone else.
Admiral is great in my book and they sell good looking planes But their in it for the buck also. As long as they don't become WM oriented we shouldn't have any problems. Have a good one. Sarge
