    The MG V2 will be interesting to watch, a big ZZZ for the rest. - Close to finish with my ZII, the gun needs some color highlights.

    It was a bit disappointing that it didn't lift off at the end...

    They went with more practical props in the sets, but the days of motion controlled models for flight scenes are definitely gone. Up to a certain scale, models are still build sometimes for texture and lighting reference - and public events. Ironically, the Prequels are generally bashed for their use of CG, but I think we also witnessed the peak of FX model building there. Regarding the Star Destroyer - is that a hammer-headed ship on some kind of launch rail at the inside of the bow?

    How about an F-35 in IAF dressing:

    I can imagine Bandai wanting complete control over their products and having no desire to have their kits re-branded by anybody, especially if that would mean that Revell would earn the esteem for their own brand instead of Bandai. From every company's perspective, the situation makes perfect sense.

    Take a look at Revell's level 2 kits - if you dare: http://www.revell.de/en/products/star-wars/star-wars-episode-vii.html To be fair, the kit of Kylo's shuttle actually looks decent. Also, there's now a statement from Revell over the issue on their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/Revell/posts/1016212158424219 Basically, they point the finger at Disney and strictly deny any involvement in Disney's pressure on japanese online retailers. While it's true that Revell can't do a thing about this, they still look pretty bad now that the whole debate puts the finger on their under-enthusiastic approach to kit design.

    It's like putting biker boots on a fashion model - doesn't work for everybody...

    The hands engines are too small...

    Yeah, the level of details puts many of the existing 1/48 (or even 1/32) kits into shame. Build it while you have sufficient eyesight!

    Recently, Fine Molds released the ultimate 1/72 Tomcat. Now, Dorobou makes it even more ultimate by adding lights (cockpit, position and formation lighting) and motorized swing wings! See for yourself: http://dorobou.blog.so-net.ne.jp/archive/c2305586422-1

    Only that with Star Wars, there aren't any higher end (plastic) kits...

    Love those packed Block 60s. Here are some shots of my 1/72 Hase kit:

    LM should paint a splinter camo on the F-35 and everybody will love the plane...

    One method is to slowly pour a very thin stream of resin into the mold so any trapped bubbles get to the surface of the stream and burst.

    Hellooo grey market... Let's wait until Disney and Bandai sort it out how much there is to gain/loose with an extended license.

    Don't be fooled! That's clearly an X-9 under the wrap!

    For the camouflage fans: Hasegawa has announced a kit of the Eurofighter with the Battle of Britain markings: http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/02173/

    Finally got around to modify the gun handle and paint the backpack

    Before this franchise is entirely forgotten, there's a Chamber plastic kit coming from Max Factory: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10345318
