T-33A Shooting Star

MRC,
Besides the F9-f Panther,will there be a 80mm T-33a Shooting Star Jet or a F-84 Thunder Jet produced? I love the straight wing jets with, tip tanks, from the Korean War era!!! :)

There are lots of ideas in the pipeline which we are still batting back and forth. No immediate plans but that does not mean it will never happen.

90mm please!!!! Freewing needs to knock RC Lander off the pedestal.

Re: T-33A Shooting Star

Thank you Tom. Please take a look at the two F84 G Thunderjets for example , with the yellow and black stripped tip tanks. I THINK this livery would be very visible in the sky and so cool at the field. I really like the stripped tip tanks better. The F84 Thunderjet has NEVER been developed as a foam EDF. The only problem would be the air restriction in the narrow air intake of the aircraft. Freewing may have to include cheater holes under the model's fuselage to improve air intake to the DEF unit.

Re: T-33A Shooting Star

I was gonna add, there's a reason some jets just don't 'adapt' well to the EDF technology. Those small intakes are a severely limiting factor. I've always been a fan of the F-89 Scorpion myself. Air-to-Air nukes!?! Git outta town!! ~;)

Re: T-33A Shooting Star

I like the F89 scorpion too. I Think it was the first all weather jet. Any jet with tip tanks does it for me !!! Hay, if the F84g Thunderjet is not doable in EDF format, then I'll take a T33a Shooting Star ! The RC Lander Versions are too big and mostly way too $$$ and the Sky Angel T33 50mm is way too small. ;)
