When will Freewing come out with a F-4 Phantom II?

Umm it's a lot more than the box man, it is the official thread direct from Tony, aka Xplaneguy.

Um.... I may have missed something..... Are we talking a Freewing A-4..... as in " Good morning gentlemen the temperature is 110 degrees HOLYS**T its Viper" A-4?

Couldn't find the announcement. ......

LOL! Yes sir. Viper's got the lead.

I am all for the large twin 80mm for the ultimate in scale look and performance! But I do understand the need for a smaller less expensive model.
From what I have seen on this forum there seems to be an equal demand for a simple and and an all out large model with all the bells and whistles.
So I think there would be enough demand to support two F4 models just like the 70mm and 90mm F-16.

The small one could be a single 90mm or twin 70mm
The large - Twin 80mm or heck why not just go super scale with twin 90mm! The real F4 actually did have large twin engines.

Now that would be fine with me. I like the F-4 enough to go with both of them. My main desire is a good handling scale bird that has people stop and look as it flys by.

The single would need most likely be a 70mm while the bigger bird would need to be a twin 80. Like the A-10, while some will want to put 90's in it, twin 80s are fine and keep it scale, so that would be my vote.

My other bird would be a 1700 to 2000 mm B-25 (but then my Dad flew those in WWII) of the 487th (but hey, I would glad paint it to get exactly what I want). Needs to be scale and durable like the FW Avanti and A-10 (can you tell I like them).

So the 80mm A-4 finally was announced, ha-ha. I was wondering when someone was going to end this silence of new models on the forums LOL. Now follow that with an F-4 for everyone else :):Cool::Drooling:.

B or J model please and yes, a tailhook

[Evoman]

Need to have the F-4, preferably a D model. And it needs to scale, like you did for the A-10 (and yes, twin 80's). All the smaller planes are blown around the field, so it will need to be on the heavier side. For the Navy guys, a nice gadget would be a retractable hook.

If you do decide on the smaller side (like a single 80) then do it up like the Avanti. Less realism would be needed then on the gear as most folks wanting the lesser expensive model. (BTW, I used FW Super Scorpion mains on my F-86 and now I land it lightly - probably a training / fear issue for the pilot). And as an additional ask, when will MRC stock nerf whistles? Makes my A-10 sweet sounding.

I've been wanting a nice quality scale F4 in my hangar for over 10 years. Had a 70mm Blue Angel one from Banana years and years ago. Man that thing flew like a brick but I just loved that it was a Phantom.

[Ron1950]

I need a F4J any squadron

[DCORSAIR]

Please MRC, I will take two, one of each just like these except with a cheaper price tag of course.

Plus 1. Wow, great vid.

Wow, someone has some video prowess! Nice find!

So, reverse engineer the Skymaster airframe , mold it in foam , make it a twin 80 or single 90. Offer it in USAF C,D,E models or Navy/Marines in the B or J liveries. Voila !

I just happen to find this great video of a Hobbyking F-4 in action that was too good not to share.

the Vietcong in the fields on the flyby was a nice touch. Great choice in music too.. It was like an F4 was on a mission heading north to play with Migs

[dahawk]

+1 on the Phantom. Need a Mig-21 chaser!

Don't you think it's about time for a single 80mm or 90mm F-4? Been waiting along time.

YES!
