I remember seeing some time ago people saying they don't like this jet,personally I like it a lot and have 5 or 6 of them I think(no pics,all in storage just now). So I'm basically just asking your opinions on this jet. Do you like it or think that it's a shit hawk???

I'm guessing and hoping you don't like the Python Patrol version? That one takes the loud biscuit for me.

I got a couple of the 25th re-releases too,nice plane but I dig this tiny little bit loud version(even dig the "average" pilot with it)

I like the 1998 release the most. The Ace figure from this release is also very cool.

The spytroops is the only version I don't have. Someday. I even have one of the 25th ones that I'm customizing to have the point job of the original X-29A.

I love the look of python patrol version...just never bought one..I don't like the idea of cobra using Joe equipment and vice versa...the paint scheme is really cool though with the python stripes. Had the conquest stayed a tiger focre and the rattler stayed a python patrol...yeah boy I would have bought both in a heart beat..

Come on hisstank wheres the like button already! My son has an action force Conquest and a 25th python conquest because his dad is really cool.

Loving the idea of a python rattler, if the guy who did the python striker did a custom of that I would buy it in a heart beat

The 2003 Conquest is okay but the color scheme is a little odd. It doesn't really blend with anything. What I do really like about it was the Slipstream that came with it. I just really like that figure. My favorite Conquest goes to the 1998 camo green version.

ditto.

However, I do like the one pictured on the back of the 2003 Conquest box though. Too bad it didn't look like that.

I have an original, a few 1997 ones and one or two spytroops ones. I love the jet and really should get a few more.

The version I really want is from Veneluela, which is very similar to the 1986 ARAH version, but has bright red drop tanks. The contrast looks great

I argee this was the best paint job( and I still need to find one) and it really is a great jet. The first version would be second although they all look good.

i have one of the 2008 releases and for various reasons, it's a "daily driver" Joe airplane. i would like to get at least one more of these.

I'm betting the one in the OPs link looks better in hand.

I think its pretty cool, I have the original and the python version. I just love this jet in any version.

the best thing about the '03 conquest is using the missles and exhaust on a '86/'08 one

and the figure too

"Loud"? Hardly... it has a nice 'artic tundra' feel to it.
Think I've bought all versions of the Conquest, from original to modern era, and liked them all. Python version is especially nice...

i dig it as an airframe, dont like the paint apps on the auction version, strangely i do dig the python patrol version but then im a nutter for anything python patrol.

the paint scheme is very reminiscent of the arctic camo they are doing nowadays; I really like the colors of it. I am not a fan of the big sound attack gun attached to the wing, so that has been removed from mine.

I dig this Scheme...though i would chose a more subdued color shcme to tone downt he brightness...but the overall scheme is cool.

Mmmm.....Still quite a few haters(or at least dislikers) I see.

I don't get the "loud" part of this Conquest - Dark Green and white = loud??? Really???

Tiger Force or PP version far out loud this version in my book!!!

Anyway,here's an idea(not a new one I'm sure) I'd love to see someone with the right skills "normalise" a Conquest by reversing the wings just for the hell of it. :-)))

I think it's a cool vehicle no matter the repaint. This particular version is good. But, my favorites are the original, and Python Patrol version.

it doesn't look good. The wing is too narrow and the leading edgewould be too thick, and the trailing edge would be too slim. I've seen it done, although it was from a guy with no skills whatsoever, so where the wings were blended into the fuselage looked terrible.

The PP Conquest has a big advantage, yes it's a bit loud but it fits well in the sub-line, while this later version is just one of a kind. With some kind of arctic themed sky patrol thing this would have been a lot better.

I think this the best Conquest release ever. Everything about it is cool. The paint scheme, the canopy tint, the missile colors (black not yellow) and the Ace that comes with it.

The color scheme is very reminiscent of of Vietnam-era fighters like the F-4 Phantom.

the color scheme is closest to some F-16's that were stationed in Nellis(Las Vegas)

Overall I like the conquest alot, however im not a huge fan of the auction version, but i do like the PP version. i would also have to agree about the '98 release its a personal favorite to me.

I have one that I got off another Tanker. It's ok I guess. Probably my least favorite repaint of an awesome jet.

I like this Spy Troops version a lot, it's the most unique since it has that cannon. It's a strike fighter in my Joeverse.

Plus it comes with a cool version of Slipstream. I love the USAF inspired stickers.
