Hmmm... Google search pulls up aviation artist, Mike Machat who is the nephew of Republic Aviation's Chief Engineer.
Republic built the F-105.

A-1 Skyraider. The things could take off from the carrier heavier loaded than from land. They carried an amazing assortment of drop-able ordinance (Bombs and missiles continuous from wingtip to wingtip) and still had several hours of fuel to orbit on station directing and supporting pilot rescue operations.
And, at least one managed to shoot down a Mig 15 in an air-air gunfight.FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.

Mike Machat also worked for Douglas so the Skyraider on the prop side and the A-4 on the edf side is my guess.Comment

This video was posted elsewhere and appears to have the same footage as the Motion trailer does. That leads me to believe F-105.Comment

so did I read that we find out on dec 1 what this new plane is?Comment

Yes, they will announce this tomorrow according to the teaser video.
I'm thinking that we're due for a 90mm Super Scale model, it's been a little while since they've released one. A 90mm Super Scale F-105 Thud with lots of details and ordnance will be just fine with me.

Well, if it is the F-4 Phantom I will be true to my word and order two.In a past post I did say i would take two.I am but a poor and humble retired MOFO.Comment

Mike Machat was employed as artist with McDonnell Douglas so maybe a Phantom?

Damn DK.........great detective work. I'm convinced you nailed it.
Now all you have to do is come up with the correct analogy/correlation how MACHAT works into the project name and I can see Alpha forwarding a THUD your way.
That FOIL project still has everyone scrambling. :Thinking:
SO...........4 EDF's back to back huh Alpha. It's now time for another prop job and since your now looking at Nam birds.

Good find DK!:Cool:Comment

I am also guessing F-105. The footage looks like what I had seen in the past from F-105's and the one shot of the tail isn't the F-4. I doubt the F-4 could have dropped as many bombs as the F-105, but I am not anywhere close to being an expert on Vietnam era jets. I am pretty sure the footage is USAF and not any Navy aircraft, and they already have the A-6, F-8, and A-4. A Vietnam era USAF jet is surely missing.Comment
