J-7 and F-5 are definites for me.

BravoCharlie

Sweet, a Mig-28!

You can never have too many #1 Thunderbirds.
Seriously I am looking forward to this very much.

Definitely picking up the F-5, the Mig-21 and the F-16. Sweet Christmas!

CarbonPlane

Definitely an add for my collection. I already have the #1 F-100, F-105 and F-4 T-birds. All we need now is the T-38.

aradrom

Nice releases, but I'm still patiently waiting for RCAF models...
I wish HM would consider releasing an F-5 in RCAF markings...maybe soon!?

Ukrainian_Falcons

Sweet another PLAAF MiG

I think I'll boycott any releases with decals. I don't want HM getting into a habit. I don't mind the Polish F-16 decals.

I agree, we don't want them to start getting lazy and issuing decals with every release in the future.

They should keep releasing seperate models for decal application if there is a demand for that sort of thing.

The reason for decals is because people wanted to collect an entire team of demonstration birds. I doubt HM would quit using tampo on other models.

Hi, I'd like to see a CF-5 from the 433 here, together with an old CF-100 Canuck....

Hobby Master 1/72 Air Power Series HA3815B Lockheed F-16C Thunderbirds aircraft, 2010 comes with decals #2 - #6

Archangel

I wont be picking up any of them. I like to get 1 type of jet with an awesome decal set or a squadron that I like. I dont need to get the same plane over and over again just with a different marking. Im all for them but releasing the same plane with diff decals but I wish they would change it up alittle. Im still wishing for more Russian planes, I want to see diff Su or Migs other than Mig21s. Pull out the modern versions with some cool markings, or different nations airforce I like collecting some other nations military plenty eastern euro nations have russian jets release some of them for once

CarbonPlane

#1 T-bird for me. Tampo version not the decal one.

ANA Mohican

T-bird looks great, but these pre-product pics mean nothing anymore after the Blue Angels screw up. The cockpit fit on this F-16 looks fine but the production ones will probably be wonky. I skipped so many of HM releases worrying about the QC.

mar_ji

I guess the T-Bird #1 and F-5 might be a nice choice for me, but got to take a good look at my local hobbyshop before deciding....can hardly understand the noticeable error made on the Blue Angel Hornet which a lot of collectors were enthousiast about. I consider it as one of the biggest disappointment ever done on a beautiful model.....

Skinner67

I've got the MiG-28 on pre-order and seriously considering the Green Knights A-4. After the news that VMFA-121 has gotten the F-35, I think it will be nice to have at least 3 Green Knights on my shelf in the future. (CW A-6, HM A-4, and HM F-35) That last one may take a while to get here though...

After the 2-seater T-Bird disappointment, I'll be passing on this one.

I agree, watching HM repeat the same old models is getting abit stale but thats where the markets at.

Still getting the J-7 though
