Totally agreed. I don't want to come across as bashing 21c, but they have got to realize when they're beat and go a different route. I can't believe I'm saying this now, but an A-10 would be a far more logical choice! Afterall, they have the prototype and BBI, Hasbro, and other companies have had success selling A-10-like products...KAGNEW wrote:WOW!
now 2 1/18 Phantoms in same week
why can't the toy people talk to each other.
instead of AT & 21st both doing F-4s why couldn't one have done a A-10 or F-15 instead.
its not a state secret, its a toy
this is "Stupid"
it's like Mustangs & Corsairs, enough is enough
More likely it will be a Mig-17 against them with Col. Toon (Conjectured, he may not even have existed) as its pilot. He was North Vietnams greatest ace of the war with 13 kills and the fight between that Mig and the Cunningham's Phantom is a fight taught in Fighter schools everywhere.MiG29K wrote:So far, we've seen the F-86 series and its counterpart, the MiG-15...
Given the upcoming release of the F-4, I will put down my stack of chips at Caesar's Palace that a MiG-21 is soon to follow.... The Showtime 100 (Cunningham/Driscoll) vs. MiG -21 "boxing match" comes to mind.
Which company is gonna bust it out first?
Or the Sukhoi Su-17 and 22 i know it was not in the vietnam war, but those birds where also used in middle east conflictsMoth wrote:I love Migs, dont forget the Mig-19
A Mig-21 would be outstanding!MiG29K wrote:So far, we've seen the F-86 series and its counterpart, the MiG-15...
Given the upcoming release of the F-4, I will put down my stack of chips at Caesar's Palace that a MiG-21 is soon to follow. I think we all can already picture dogfights taking place on ceilings everywhere with F-4s, and MiG 21s hanging off them - As its been said, for every Thesis is an Anti-thesis.

What is the $140 F4 from Admiral going to do or look like that's going to be different from the 21Cs F4STARMAN 352ND wrote:Just checked out Bad Cats site they have removed the $140.00 price tag...
Until further notice.
This may have something to do with 21st being listed at 89.00 now this is going to the wire .

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. SargeLevel 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.sarge wrote:What is the $140 F4 from Admiral going to do or look like that's going to be different from the 21Cs F4STARMAN 352ND wrote:Just checked out Bad Cats site they have removed the $140.00 price tag...

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 haveKillerf6 wrote:sarge wrote: What is the $140 F4 from Admiral going to do or look like that's going to be different from the 21Cs F4

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.
I'm sure the Admiral Toys team has been super busy preparing for the Toy Fair during January and most of February. I'm positive you'll get a response from Admiral Toys soon along with your screw covers.sarge wrote: 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
You got that right, thats what I was talking about. That 1500 for the Spitfire is way out of line for a static. But some people will buy it cause it's so much betterVMF115 wrote:For 140 I expect a lot of cockpit detail and other detail that normally does not come on our 1:18 A/C, I don’t mind paying for that….but not to much say around 1500.
