        I would especially love to see an F-4D with the full ordinance package. Swappable triple bomb racks, drop tanks, missiles, gun pod, and a radar jamming pod.

          Room and budget temper what i buy but i would purchase a FW F4 in a second(robin olds scheme). Even over my wifes likley objection. $400 or under please as it will ultimately cost $400 for the plane and an equal amount spent on her.

            The idea of an A-4 scooter sounds pretty cool. I would be tempted to get one if it was in the 90mm super scale class. I don't think FW will be producing an F-4 Phantom anytime soon because of the Blitz RC works twin 70mm offering that is still in production. I would be happy to be proven wrong for this case. ;) I'm currently building one and as far as a model goes, it is not user friendly by any means. There are still several aircraft that would be so cool to have a model made from. The classic F-100 Super Saber would be a good start; and if unique is your venue, then maybe a Sepecat Jaguar would be a truly bad-ass plane to have. { Gotta luv a plane that put it's sidewinder missiles on TOP of the wings :cool: } We also need to keep in mind now that FW has perfected the swept-wing technology from their F-14 Tomcat, they can also produce other great offerings that no one has considered before, like the Panavia Tornado or even the F-111E Raven. I would be willing to spend $550 for a 90mm super scale Tornado or an Aardvark / Raven if they had one, + the F-111 uses similar style landing gear as the F-16 so the design change would not be too difficult to incorporate. I think any model produced by FW would be welcomed edition to the hobby as the design and engineering is top notch and well thought out for the owner's experience and not simply designed for the model to be cheap or expendable.

              There was another thread post not too long ago also asking for a better F-4 Phantom II. Apparently the few offerings there are don't really fly well and are a maintenance nightmare. So if Freewing were to offer a well made F-4 complete with wing slats like someone mentioned it would be a hit.

              Here is the thread I was referring to.

                    A Freewing 80 or 90mm F-4 with slats would sell well. I went through several LX F-4s and they are junk. Yes, cheap but all parts have to replaced and the CG is critical. I would buy FW F-4s all day long.
