Give me 10 good reasons why I shouldn't buy...

[GeorgeC]

Damn, I had to look in that box in the LHS!  It's a rediculous aircraft, a prop strike aircraft comming into service at the same time as the F100!  Suez stripes are a nasty sickly yellow too.  I wouldn't even do it as a what-if, I would build it out the box - even if I got near finishing it.  However, I still want it, and have got a lunchtime stop in Hannants planned for Monday.

So help a chap out?  Please tell me why I shouldn't be lured by this plastic siren!!!

Regards

1.  There are no spurious decal sheets available
2.  Some of us still don't have one yet.
3.  Neurotic types will argue with you that the spinner was never red
4.  There is no floatplane variant
5.  The type was never used in Vietnam by the USAF
6.  It was never painted in Raspberry Ripple either
7.  The price is still a tad low for what you get; wait until it raises
8.  It was never featured as a lead character in a major movie
9.  It's too expensive to model as a Pirate Aircraft
10.  It's too fun to have.



.........er............hogwash....

Go get one.

Okay.

1. It's too...no, that's not right either.


Right then.

1. The kit...aw, crap.


Never mind...

To quote a line from the ancient 1970s... If it feels good, do it (coined in the pre-HIV days obviously).  In this case, as long as you practice safe modelling, you should be okay

You can't add spats to it. . . .

Well as long as your a 1/48 modeller then there are no real reason why not

'Cos planes that look like Bananas are silly, save yer money for the new Gannet instead.

Cos it'll just sit there in the stash collecting dust for decades.

[B777LR]

a prop strike aircraft comming into service at the same time as the F100!

Skyraiders served even after the F100s had been taken outta vietnam.

[cthulhu77]

It's made in China?

[Ollie]

It's not a Phantom?

[Brian da Basher]

It has no spats.  

Did I mention that I love spats?

There's only 1 colour scheme with minor markings variations?
