  1. Down to three available kits at this moment...
  2. It's like putting biker boots on a fashion model - doesn't work for everybody...
  3. The hands engines are too small...
  4. 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!
  5. 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
  6. Love those packed Block 60s. Here are some shots of my 1/72 Hase kit:
  7. LM should paint a splinter camo on the F-35 and everybody will love the plane...
  8. 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.
  9. Hellooo grey market... Let's wait until Disney and Bandai sort it out how much there is to gain/loose with an extended license.
  10. Don't be fooled! That's clearly an X-9 under the wrap!
  11. 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/
  12. Finally got around to modify the gun handle and paint the backpack
  13. Before this franchise is entirely forgotten, there's a Chamber plastic kit coming from Max Factory: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10345318
  14. 1/38 all the way! http://blog.naver.com/seolpung/30000375854
  15. Platz' 1/72 Yukikaze & Mave kits are re-released in September: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10042960 http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10031792
  16. Things left to do: - add replacement Builders Parts hands - modify gun handle - finishing touches on the backpack - apply more decals
  17. Those are Bandai's waterslides for the HGUC Unicorn. I ordered a couple of sheets & now I can katokify anything. The Anaheim logos are from a Sentinel sheet. IMO the added graphics work wonders on the ZII design. I have finished the legs now and the whole thing looks like a really expensive designer toy
  18. I should have bought a spare Regult and go all Giger on it...
  19. I started to Katokify my ZII and can confirm that painting the leg thrusters is a real pain. Everything else is going nicely, and I appreciate the stickers for the little yellow bits. I'll definitely leave off the bazookas.
  20. I always imagined the Zentraedi stuff being "grown" rather that bolted together, so it would be interesting to do some more organic decay on the surfaces and all kind of liquids leaking out.
  21. The Viggen's last flight was in 2007, it's successor is the Gripen, introduced in '93. The latest Viggen updates, the JA37 D, were on the same level regarding avionics and weapon systems as the Gripen. Here's an interview with an ex-Viggen pilot with some informative bits: http://www.milavia.net/specials/iv_viggen/
