A couple more Bear intercepts from the Air Force side. Hoping to see both of these from Freewing soon! ~50 years between the photos, and we're still intercepting the same Bears.

Very cool stuff nonetheless :Cool:Comment

Certainly, and both are still aircraft well suited for their missions. The B-52 is still scheduled to fly until the 2045 timeframe, and I wouldn't be surprised if a few make it to the 100 year mark. It is just a bit ironic that all these years later, the same planes from the same country are still probing our borders and being greeted in similar kind ;). The C-130, Chinook, Cobra, and C-5 are all getting to a similar age as well, and certainly still holding their own!Comment

As a huge fan of golden age and classic aircraft, there are certainly a few I'd like to see.
Golden Age racers: geebee Z, travel aire mystery s, laird super solution, howard dga3, wendell williams,dehavilland comet.
For the classics: aeronca 7ac champ, waco cabins (ykc or yks), luscombe, cessna 120/140, taylorcraft bc12d, great lakes trainer.
and for good measure, a pitts s1 that would use a 3c 2200.Comment

Thank you for allowing me to join! I have been doing RC for 60 years and was also a paper cover airplanes for many years gas powered and have gone to foamies, and electric I do aerial video with my planes and starting to dabble with drones. I have built a Foam Grumman Goose 36” never finished it, decided to build a bigger one 82”...Comment

I know it's pretty much Aircraft here but gonna drop two categories.
Planes
The Iranian Stealth Fighter... If for no other reason than it will likely never have a real chance to get off the ground otherwise
And as silly as it is the thing is pretty entertaining.
And I also add my vote for
B-52
B-36
B-29
and
TU-95/TU-96
Mig-25 Foxbat... A plane that had to of been designed by Russian Rednecks with a hankering for speed.
Second Category is Ships
Dean's Marine kits or RTR's... yeah that's not a single item but would be a good lineup next to the current selection. But they got good stuff if you can get enough to be worth it.
The Clemson / Wickes Four stackers. Those were some interesting ships ending up in multiple Navy's including one that found her way into Japanese service
, a set that ended up Banana boats
, and a few that did US Coast Guard time. With mod potential all over the place Seaplane Tender, Minesweep/layer, Banana Boat, Coast Guard, a couple of hulls with double guns, and more than a bit of surprising history with highs HMS Campbeltown and lowsHonda Point with well over 100 hull numbers and multiple camo schemes. Yeah plenty to work with for Customization there.
