A Fiberglass or Plastic Mold/Production run on that part would be wonderful. A simple Brake/Elevator programme mix would solve any coupling issues. I mean, Really, it's a part of the Blues routine to Pop them up !!! Cheers !

Originally posted by MrSmoothie View PostI'm very happy to see another high-quality release from Freewing. I wish I was more excited about the subject matter, but I know full-well we all have our favorites and can't get the "I wish they would come out with" model subject. But then I said the same thing about the F-22 Raptor (i.e. "never a big fan"), but then I pre-ordered it and love the model which is fabulous. I will say one thing for sure, IF I was to get one of these, it'd have to be gray with the markings left off so we can do our own thing. So add me to that list of guys requesting gray.

Originally posted by James.MotionRC View PostHey Guys, our team had planned to release the all-new Freewing 90mm F-18C Hornet in Blue Angels markings first, followed by a Base Gray PNP version later this summer. However, based on some early customer feedback in this official thread asking about having a Base Gray version sooner, we're open to possibly having both available at the same arrival date. As always, we're happy to respond to our customer family's preferences, which is one of the reasons we opted to show the F-18 a little sooner than usual.
So the poll is open, you have 1 week to vote on it as we have to move fast with the factory in order to accomplish this!

Great job on this new Hornet! I already had feeling an all new Hornet was in development since the old one was discontinued. The F/A-18 is just one of those great airplanes that there will always be a demand for so an all new Hornet was needed.
I am about to buy my first EDF soon so this jet will have to wait till I am ready for it. But if I did get one I would have to do one in the VFA-25 Fist of the Fleet.

James, don't push it! It seems like you want everyone to vote now. It all started with that *amn March Madness. LOL Joking with ya. But I did vote. I'll probably buy 2, a Blue Angles, (to sit right next to Albert). Then a Grey too, for my combat version, haven't decided exactly how I want to do that one yet.
