Default Big F-4 this year?

Ok I felt like this needed addressing. I hope Skymaster will undertake a 1/5th F-4 so I can park it beside my 1/5 Starfighter.
I'm thinking twin Cheetahs would be really sweet.
Even go so far as to utilize a shrink link on the mains, an extendable nose strut and scale speed brakes, chute and canopies.

Would really be something to see, especially if it could be kept in the $5-6K range all up.

Always liked the F4, looking forward to seeing the development of a
large one. Will skymaster be doing a Tornado in future?

What about a large scale J-10, or large Gripen (2900 plus mm)?

Hi Anton, I'm very happy to hear this great news about the F-4.
Can you tell if it will be 1/5 like my F-104?
BTW I have been very happy with the F-104.

The extra large F-4 By Jet legend will also test fly soon all PNP. Set up for both single and double turbines. More details in the coming weeks!

Not to go off topic but Ahhh! The magic T for Tornado rears its head! Suddenly I'm excited & checking the Internet for ideas on how much a used kidney goes for!!

Not to say I'm not a fan of the F4, I used to watch in awe as they thundered down Cumbernaulds runway at the annual air show & pull a vertical climb to 40,000 feet!

Sound like a single 210 with a bifurcated pipe, plane looks rather sluggish on take off and in flight. A twin 210 would have push the plane with more authority with 80lbs + of thrust, IMO.

Agree with single 210. No way that was twin 210. I have flown F14 with twin 210 and it was much heavier than this F4 with wire gear and limited stuff inside. This was just a proof of concept set up. Twin 210 would make a rocket ship. I like were this is going though!!!!! I love F4s
