LSP_K2 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 The '107 is certainly an intriguing aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 They have one down at Pima Air Museum, too. I am sure Jennings has already been fondling it. Out2gtcha and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 We had a good look at the 107 and 104 when we were at Pima last year LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 No interest in the "Fighter" variants but I'd surely be up for a B model. For years they were based at my "local" AFB on Cape Cod. 60th FIS had some pretty nice markings to boot. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CR One company has released a 1/32 DC3, and another is releasing a C-47, but we now have much larger B-17s Lancaster’s, and Liberators, so why not a 101?

I'm definitely not saying a 1/32nd F-101 isn't possible, but it feels like its a bit big for 32nd in relation to how popular/well known it is. A 1/32nd B-17 is much MUCH bigger, but I feel sells well because of its popularity with aviation enthusiast and modelers. I'm just not 100% convinced the 101 would be a huge seller in 32nd, but I could also be wrong on that. Its happened many, many times before. You are absolutely correct, but I still remember it as being the most common jet in the sky, but guys like me are a dying breed, and if it hadn’t been for modern eye surgery, there probably be none of us left building any models. Just like I see less and less of us marching in Veterans’ Day Parades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Jack Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 Also look how obscure the HP O-100 and the HP O-400 are and how big, but they are in development. I remember complaining about a 240 Howitzer never being released in large scale and everyone saying it was too large yet TWO companies released a much larger WW2 German Rail Gun. Funny how no one puts any stops at producing anything NAZI, but when it comes to equipment US soldiers used and died on in WW2, oh its too big.

It’s not that much bigger than a F-105 , yet the 105 was a good seller. Edited November 12, 2019 by Fred Jack KAGNEW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested in most of them. Especially the RF-101C and F-101B. The way the Kitty Hawk 1/48 Voodoo kits are engineered — I have bought four so far — with separate nose, centre section and tail would allow bigger 1/32 equivalents to be made without huge moulding machines. The Voodoo featured a long sleek fuselage with relatively short span wings, and a kit would sit nicely at an angle along a shelf. It's not a gangly thing with long sticking-out-at-90°-sideways wings. Not really huge at all. Just looks like a winged rocket, albeit a smoky one (as were all F-4s until the early 1980s).
