Hi, does anyone know if this will be avaiable outside the show as a wild weasel IV has been on my wishlist for a while?

I'd kill for this in 1/48 scale for the Academy F-4C. I don't know how many times I've posted that the G is my most wanted of wanted releases.

Right now we are very busy with the 1/32 subjects, but we may look at just a Decal/ Exterior antenna set for release. That is the beauty of CAD is that having the parts printed in 1/48 scale for masters is a no brainer. Thinking off the top of my head, the only other part to make would be the WSO forward panel. Brazen makes beautiful AGM-45 Shrikes and Aries make a gorgeous cockpit. Decals are easy to downsize. I will keep this in mind.

Thanks for your input, it is much appreciated.

Gary,
The cockpit is just amazing. My brother Peter (Peterpools) is certainly in for a treat.
