    You know, looking back, it really grinds my gears that I blew off this line at first and missed out on the Roy and the Armored 1J....GRRRRR...Now they are so expensive to try to get...At least I got the rest of the line minus M&M upon release at retail pricing.

    It's the Angel Bird custom super/strike parts that DO IT for me...Would love to see them actually on the Valk!

    I actually picked up on it yesterday I think, but I decided to take the high road and not mention it!

    @arbitI guess I never really thought about it, I guess 6 to 8 inches or so??? Maybe closer, BUT I'm now 46 and just got a new glasses prescription for my 1st pair of BIFOCULS...eeekkk!!!.. I'm old! So with that being said, when I get those new glasses in in a couple of weeks, things may change for me for the better with the working distance to small parts..I'll keep you posted!

    @arbit - These are what I use, you get 4 different lenses and the LED lamp part comes out, which is good, I don't use it and it makes it way to heavy! Amazon.com : MagniVisor Deluxe Head Visor/Magnifier : Sports & Outdoors

    Well @Chronocidal, I can report that my absolute favorites are still Model Master enamels for brushing, I picked up a jar of Brass the other week at the hobby shop, one of the few colors left, and it just lays down absolutely beautiful with a brush. Just like I remember it doing. The Humbrols, with just a quick 5 minute brush on a plastic spoon test I can report are pretty good...depending on the color....oddly the yellow and white did the best! Go figure. The grays and greens not so much, (and yes, I did stir them up adequately). I know I'm gonna have to try Tamiya enamels at some point, just so hard to get at the moment unless you pay stupid prices for shipping from overseas.

    BDay haul of hobby stuff came in! Still waiting for my Mr. Surfacer 1500 Black. Trying Humbrol enamels from good ole England land for the first time, see if they brush paint worth a crap....

    Many times, but that doesn't matter, it is still just jawdropping!!!

    Exactly, as a casual Marvel fan, they did a good job from Iron Man 1 on keeping me more and more interested in the movies and the Infinity saga. I agree Infinity War was the best one, End Game, kinda mehh, but at least it tied up most of the stories. I've lost all interest concerning the new stuff. I'm "Marveled out".

    Kinda makes it really hard not to pull the trigger. Just hope the QC is ok...

    Oh DUDE!!!!! I had no idea they were showing this! I just got my two tickets for Sunday Sep 26th down here in a great theater that I went to see Close Encounters re-release in a few years back! I'm STOKED! Haven't seen TFTM since 86 in a theater!!!!

    Ok, Imma bite on this, I love the bot mode, couldn't care less if the jet is super accurate or not, still beats MP-52 hands down in every other category IMHO. How much is this guy gonna run me???
  16. derex3592
    @sqidd I agree, the fact that they are on MW Forums now addressing issues is a good idea. It's NOT 2019 anymore, a lot of people need to realize that and take a breath when dealing with supply chains, not to mention labor shortages of companies both here and abroad.

    awwww..come on guys, no love for the Matchbox Southern Cross bad guys??!! I was a super happy camper at age 10 or 11 when I got the Matchbox bioroid terminator/hovercraft AND one Robotech Master figure to play with for my bday! I still have them! They're in that they are SO bad they are cool category!

    Yeh it is!!!

    Well.... Color me UN impressed with Tamiya lacquer paints. I was under the impression that these you could brush paint straight of the bottle and NOT have to do multiple coats. Ummm.. NO... Ohh well, I'm sure they'll airbrush beautifully, I'm going to have to pay through the nose and get some of their new enamel paint and try that. I can't keep doing models with no way to brush paint small details with one coat. Hell Model Master enamels never had a problem with it. Tamiyas lacquer is just to THIN.

    Awwww...It's SO tragic it's cute!!!

    Since Bandai has failed us all in not giving us a HiMetal R QRau... Back to a project from 2 years ago. Having another go at the seams with some Mr Surfacer 500. Stay tuned.

    Honest answer to the second part of your question....no. It isn't elongated enough to look like it actually should look in the real world. Only the 1:72 model kit does that. However I think the little HM-R VF-1D actually got it a tiny bit closer from a side view than the DX does.
  24. derex3592
    that's exactly what I was thinking!

    How the HELL does he not paint over all the Tampo printing??? I doubt he redoes all the markings with waterslide decals..or maybe he does? But how would he get them to match the Bandai ones???
