    He's a very talented artist, his sculpting skills are mind blowing. IIRC he started out customizing Star Wars figures on the Rebelscum forums

    HLJ has the Arcadia 30th Anniversary VF-1J on sale for a little less than $75 if anyone is interested

    Sukhoi T-50 (055) catches fire upon landing Edit to attach photo

    I never realized that most airlines leased the majority of their aircraft. I assume older aircraft such as the ones in FedEx's fleet are owned by the company? Eurofighter crashes as Moron de la Frontera AFB. Condolences to the pilot's family. Edit to correct spelling

    If the info is correct, 1486 Boeing 747's (of all types) were made. LOW_ALT, are you able to mention who the customer is? I assume it must be a freight / lease company to have so many and I believe the 747 is being phased out of passenger service in favor for more twin engined wide bodies.

    Thanks for the explanation on the water tanks. I had read that the B-52's used to use water injections during MITO exercises but failed to carry that logic over. Luftwaffe Bavarian Tigers painted one of their Eurofighters in Tigermeet paint :

    Did anyone get a set of instructions with their kit? I went to look at my kit again and I noticed I did not get a set of instructions, everything looks complete though.

    Thanks for the info on the decals. Was there any mention of a price?

    Wow, that is some very impressive work. The amount of detail and features are mind blowing. Looks like I will need to get into 1/350 models now What is the size of the completed model? On the plus side, it allows for army building at affordable prices.

    Low flyby of two Su-24's:

    Its been out of stock for a while but SSM currently has 5 in stock for those who have been waiting

    I actually like the RVF-25 more so than the other VF-25 variants; I even sold my Bandai kit in anticipation of Hasegawa's release. I ended up pre-ordering 1, hopefully the Ghosts will either be included or available as an additional kit like the weapons set or stands
  13. Model-Junkie
    The kit is available for pre-order at HLJ Not sure if the text in the photo mentions anything about the Ghosts but the price of the kit is the same as the VF-25F/S & G kits so I assume they are not included

    YF-19 looking J-20! Someone created some CG images of the J-20 with forward swept wings:

    Welcome to the forums, the Nothung 2 is from Macross The Ride, the regular VF-11B Thunderbolt is from Macross Plus. The VF-11B Thunderbolt and Super Thunderbolt include what can be considered low viz grey schemes on the decal sheets but there are no low viz aftermarket decals. An option is to use 1/72 low viz decals from real aircraft / squadrons, which is what a lot of Macross squadrons seemto be based on anyway. For example, the VE-11 Thunder Seeker SVAW-121 Squadron seems to echo the real life USN VAW-121 AEW Squadron. There are numerous low viz F-14, F-16 and F/A-18 decals out there available for you to appropriate and use for your own custom Squadrons. Edited to correct spelling

    Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 missing. Outcome is not looking too great. Was hoping the wife would not see the news as we are flying at the end of March and she hates flying
  18. Model-Junkie
    Bandai does not make any 1/48 Macross kits so Hasegawa is the winner. If you are referring to 1/72, Bandai does not make any non-transformable Macross fighter kits and again Hasegawa would be the winner if you are looking for a kit in fighter mode.

    Perhaps the photos of the Cat's Eye built by PetarB will help

    Is BAe still involved in the export of the Gripen? If so, I doubt Argentina will be a potential buyer...
  21. Model-Junkie
    The part swapping is not complicated at all, the Hasegawa VF-0 kits are modular. I have all of the VF-0 kits in my stash and can confirm that the VF-0C is essentially a VF-0D with the cockpit / front aircraft section from a VF-0S (plus the weapons from the VF-0A/S kit) & the VF-0B is just a VF-0S with the front section from the VF-0D. You just need 1 VF-0D and 1 VF-0S kit, swap the cockpits, canopies and front sections and you have 2 new aircraft.

    New paint scheme for Blue 55

    For some reason a lot of CGI from Asia seem to be lacking in quality / realism. The weird thing is, if you look at the credits for a Western produced movie you will see a lot of Asian people are involved in the special effects and CGI. I have to assume it is just that Asian movies have a lower in budget compared to ones produced in the Western part of the world or they are just really cheap on the effects. I've seen some newer Jet Li movies from Hong Kong / China and the CGI were really bad.

    The Comanchero shares some similarities to the AH-56 Cheyenne, which had a retractable wheel in the rear fin

    Radar absorbancy is dependent on coatings and possibly construction materials, it has little to do with looks. I believe you are referring to Radar Cross-Section (RCS) and even then it is mute to argue how 'stealthy' an aircraft is. All stealth aircraft can be detected one way or another, it all depends on the tradeoffs you want.
