So... What's next? We need some new military muscle for us EDF junkies! : )

Machat did this artwork, Vietnam era bomber...

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

See? I was telling you the same thing on your page... I remember seeing this footage many times over from the gun cams of the F-105... This same bomb was also carried by the 100, 104 and F-4..... so who knows whats happening... I would really love a big detailed F-105 though!! Been wanting one for the longest!! If its a Skyraider... crickets for me.....

pretty sure I read on here that Alpha was wanting a good F-4 ....

We can only hope

I would be cool with one of those too....

F105 is my guess based on the video footage and name of the project

[Ron1950]

didn't the f4 also drop bombs?

[OV10]

didn't the f4 also drop bombs?

yes they did and quite a few of them ;)Just checked........18 total of Mk-82

Maybe MiG 21 / Mirage 2000

Maybe MiG 21 / Mirage 2000

?????? Those models already exist and they aren't that old. Why would they do another?

[xplaneguy]

I love Mike Machat's X-Plane paintings. :Cool:

xviper maybe for larger scale and 105 /110 mm edf..like hsd do on F15..make more features something like that..

As a newcomer to this forum you most likely missed when Alpha (Head Honcho Guy of FL/FW new products for Motion) just recently explained that EDF's of that size are not part of the market focus niche for them.

OV10 ooo yaa..im not always in..sorry about that..just my cheap opinion..and thanks for the info mate:Cool:

[Hardway]

tifi..... Welcome brother! Hope you enjoy the madness here... Merry Christmas! :-)

My guess would be the 105, after seeing the video. No preorder for me if it is a 105, unless of course it's a big 90mm and scaled out, I will consider it then, now a 80mm/90mm F-4, another story, will be hitting the preorder button as fast as I can..........:)

[Ron1950]

i am hopeing for a 80mm f4 it seems more in line with past freewing jets..only problem is I just paid for the a4,,where will I get cash for a f4? lol if it turns out to be a f105 ill pass..in most polls the 105 doesent even show up

[Veltro]

It could always be a baby A-4 Skyhawk with a 64mm fan. Mike Machat recently did a large A-4 Skyhawk wall mural for the Santa Monica Museum of Flying. The A-4 is a Douglas/McDonnell Douglas product. Carried a bunch of bombs, too. Would make a nice last minute stocking stuffer at $100.

I also think it could very well be a 90mm F-105 Thunderchief. The Thud could drop that many munitions as depicted in the video. Having an F-105 model would actually be a better option for those that prefer single 80/90mm setups that might shy away from a big Super Scale F-4 Phantom with twin 80mm when it comes out.

This F105 is carrying a full bomb load of sixteen 750 lb (340 kg) bombs on its five hardpoints.

I guess we will know in about 10-12 hours ....
