    Ok, you guys have talked me into this -- I'm gonna watch it over Xmas break. I have zero knowledge of any background of it. Going in cold.

    @starkiller239I have Yamato 1/60 Ver2 and Arcadia Valks that now over 10 years old, all stickers are just fine. Kept in glass curio cabinets and transformed 3 or 4 times each over the years probably.

    Aoshima did a Blue Thunder in 1:48 years ago that was gorgeous! Wish they would reissue it!

    @tekering Been there, had that happen. Never did figure out the cause. Resin parts were washed and prepped properly before priming, but then the paint would just peel right off with my masking tape and take the primer with it! Sometimes bad things just happen and you can't explain why!

    No, that's not the case @pengbuzz. This was/is a newer mold made back probably around 2010 with MUCH better detail and a VERY detailed interior including the rear cabin computer stations. IMHO the best rendition of the helicopter to date. I just opened up the bags and looked at everything. Very sharp crisp mold and details. No flash. Nice kit all around. Only problem!!! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 1/32 SCALE!!! Thanks for the links! I'll have to check all those out when I get a chance.

    Back in the mid 80s I was a HUGE fan of Airwolf. My parents bought me the Ertl model kit and I tried my best of course, but at 10 years old and nothing called the internet for help, it was about what you would expect. I had a few cheap toys of the helicopter along the way as well, but a few years ago I learned a company called Aoshima were making a metal pre-made 1/48 model with motors inside. I instantly pre-ordered the weathered version and it was quite impressive and cool even if the weathering was a bit heavy handed. The motors stopped working after only a few months and that bummed me out but it was still cool to look at. Fast forward to a few months back and I noticed HLJ had a reissue of the Aoshima 1:48 model kit up for pre-order. I instantly clicked buy! Now I did some research and apparently the first release back in about 2008 came with a small PE sheet. Unfortunately for whatever reason, this time I didn't get that, but I did get a clear body included with the normal one for whatever reason. I assume if you wanted to build it clear to see the rear cockpit even though it's completely inclosed I guess you could do that. Whatever, I'm going to try REAL hard to make this one look better than my original eventually! 😁

    Ok....now THAT'S BADASS!
  13. derex3592
    I think it's freakin awesome! Not my normal type of thing, but DAMN! Me like!
  14. derex3592
    Yeh, I just pre-ordered one. If this is the way they are going to go, more like the Bandai model kit route, I want to support them fully! Whatever gets us a GLAUG and QRAU!
  15. derex3592
    Dear Bandai... Your stands SUCK. Sincerely, EVERYONE.
  16. derex3592
    I guess I'm gonna have to pre-order one of these to try it out.
  17. derex3592

    Wife and I watched Red Notice on our new 4K TV. It was very much a "turn off your brain and enjoy it" movie. Pretty fun actually, I'm in for a sequel.

    @Mommar - I'm worried about my HM-R Regults now hearing that... I've had them in the completely squated down legs folded up like they are in a hanger position for years now, I'm afraid to try to stand them up!
