Checking out another site and this is the first I have heard of this. Man too much good stuff coming out at once. Its already black and perfect for Cobra too. I just hate giving Cobra American equipment. I'm gong hunting for one of these and will probably paint it for the joes. Just thought I would give you guys a heads up.

Yes I found out about it on HISSTank.com from the same guy.
Here are the same pics from there...

The plane seems like a typical PTE construction. The pilot however looks more like a useless ChapMei version.

I'm thinking the new Strato-vipers will be piloting a couple of these babies.

And that is the sound of my vow against buying any new aircraft shattering to a million pieces.

Radar resistant paint beats nostalgic white aircraft any day.

Ace can't wait to get his new black aircraft.

It's too small.

Saw one today. The figure included is maybe 3.5 inches and the cockpit looks to be a tight fit even for him. So no ARAH Joes are likely to fit, and you definitely aren't getting new sculpt or 25th in that thing.

Ok gang, I went to Toys R US and I found it. Hesitated for a second and went ahead and picked it up. Pics below.

Now my review. The plane comes with 6 missiles, but only has 4 hard points. I was a little annoyed by that, but the F-22's missiles are suppose to be internal anyway, so I'll forgive it.

The cockpit is TINY. Its a tight fit even for a RAH figure, so you'll have a hard time with any 25th figures - especially Ace. I just realized I have an AVAC from the Firebat and put him in there. He fit without too much trouble, but I want to warn you. The figure it came with is awful. Already in the trash.

All in all a neat little plane and I have already removed the stickers cause this baby is getting a paint job. Maybe my default jet for the joes if it comes out nice. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

If it follows the typical Elite Ops aircraft formula, the plane itself will be about 1/32 or 1/35 scale, but the cockpit will be set up to accommodate ARAH-sized figures. Skystriker is like this as well...big enough to look cool with the figures next to it, but not so big as to be too ungainly for a kid to play with. Perfect! :-)

Kinda wish they'd gone with gray color first though.

Jeez...these guys need to make a Hind like this since no one else seems to want to, especially in true 1:18 scale. :shifty:

Wow...I'm going to have to find a place for one of those. And heck, if I can modify a S6 Firebat to hold a 25th Wild Weasel, I'm sure I can get one into this thing. Then a little dip in red RIT dye for the canopy, and bam! Perfect Night Raven compliment.

Excuse me while I go clean myself up. I swore to Jill that I wouldnt buy any more big aircraft but THIS... THIS is just too much to resist. Now if only we could get them to make a YF-23, YF-32, YF-35 and F-117 I could die a happy man. :drool:

Hell, I'd come close if they'd make a MiG-29 or Su-27. :drool:

These Elite Ops planes remind me in the best way of the old A-Team F-16: comparable scale to the Skystriker with a non-kiddie feel to the design (i.e., it closely mimics the actual plane). I hope this company is with us for a very, very long time. :-)

Oh great just what I need, more things to dream about that will never get made.

Wow, tight fit. So much extra coolness could have been added by just making that cockpit just a little bigger...

That Ace is a bit beefy. I bet some of the scrawny-er early ARAH figs will fit pretty well. Probably not anyone with rolled-up sleeves though, else they'll be sitting sideways. :shifty:

We aims to please! :-D

At least your plastic dreams aren't constantly cursed by repeated visions of a 1:18 scale Hind-D/E in Soviet-era markings... :cry:

What is imprinted on the bottom of the plane? Is it a M&C Toys product (the makers of Power Team Elite World Peacekeepers)
