I'm willing to give a fellow nerd and Canuck a chance... the john wick movies have no right to be as good as they are, and it's mostly because of the passion of the makers and Keanu's level of dedication/training to look like he could win a gunfight... Keanu as spike would be weird, and awesome...

I like the SSN valk... I would actually pick one up, just because it's an oddball in the Macross flock: a Civilian-Purpose Valkyrie!

Hey @Saburo, that's a hell of a shot! If you're not being approached for promo shots of nerdy-nerdy collectibles, you should be! -
The pics previously posted suggested It would be epic. And I'm looking forward to maybe actually being able to hold one in my hands! Hopefully it comes out at something comparable to Bandai's DX Valks... If it achieves comparable quality to Bandai or Arcadia, and around the 2-Foot mark in length, this project will be a 'Must Have' for myself, and hopefully many others as well! Valks with Swords!!!

Pretty!

Good! Now I won't be so tempted to blow a mortgage payment on one

They grow on you... I thought the same 'till I got my DX 31C all dressed up.

That does look pretty spot-on @sh9000.... the plastic certainly makes it seem like it was pulled-off rather than sheered!
-
How do I get THAT job?!?! Do I have to do nefarious things? 'Cause I will!!
-
Tin-foil/Aluminum-foil would be my suggestion over plastic wrap... as long as you use a primer it should take paint with no issues
-
LOL, that's awesome!! I was referring to the actual sliding-joint assembly and a complete replacement... now we know we don't need ANY of that!!
-
the HMR arms are fairly easy to detach as-it-is... they could just include a whole "damaged arm" assembly with which you could replace the entire arm-unit, joint-and-all

Doesn't it just, eh? I've been saying for years that Canada can extend an olive-branch to Russia by saying: "We like your fighter... here's money to license-build the airframes, and we're going to shove-in our own engines and equipment..." the only obstacle to that plan was the US wouldn't like it... but with Trumpy-Bear in power................................................ and having the back-end of buying all the gear to fill/sling-under from the US anyway... seems like we could swing that [politically anyway] but other than the Flanker's unquestionable post-stall maneuverability, it's not the best option for us, as there are purpose-built platforms that completely meet our needs like F-15 that are already stuffed with NATO-inter-operable gear 100% agree Our biggest issue with fighter procurement re range is that we own probe-and-drogue refueling aircraft... so we'd also need new ones if we went with a flying-boom-style fighter [like f-15] Canada does not have the money, will [Political/Public], or personnel to be expeditious unless it's in-support of Uncle Sam. I think it's been [being] underestimated the damage that deploying to A-stan [et-all of the last 17 years] has done to our armed forces... Recruitment is down across all services, retention is abysmal, and the current gov't is only exacerbating those issues [ex: by shorting the Forces $2.5Billion last fiscal year...] We need new EVERYTHING from uniforms and Rifles to Fighters, 2 replacement Naval fleets and a Brand-New third one for the arctic... *RANT* I'm LITERALLY running into service personnel in-uniform that are more ratty/threadbare than my paintball crew's surplus gear! I feel embarrassed FOR them.... *RANT ends* we need to rebuild our forces and capabilities and in-so-doing bring ourselves into a state of inter-operability with the USA... bugger the rest of NATO, their almost literally not our problem anymore... Trudeau's grand-and-glorious deployment of a helicopter squadron to the UN mission in Mali is a National joke [you should hear what actual Forces personnel have said to me]... old Canadian Joke: "You know why they write 'UN' on the side of their vehicles, eh? because they don't have the space to write 'Totally UN-F***ING Prepared for Battle' on their WHITE APC" Our CF-188's [I know, our designations are dumb] were MLU'd once to modernize them from F/A-18A standard to F/A-18C standard. Then they supposedly had a longevity MLU after that. we're going to have to get over the fact that Boeing is the best and we want their stuff...

That's gorgeously done Indigo! Query: were they simply too saturated off-the-decal-sheet? or did you do it for weathering purposes? if the latter: would the underside roundels really fade like that [being on the "dark side"of the plane 90% of the time]? I would assume the paint they use for hi-viz national markings like Sweden is pretty vivid out-of-the-can.

depends where you are in North America, but: NA Central time zone is GMT-6:00 Japan is GMT+9:00 Japan is 15 hours ahead of the Central timezone, so 1600 Dec 3 in Japan should equate to: 0100 Dec 3rd [local] for myself. if I did my Time-math correctly.....................

add 3 of these to the list I guess... I actually want all three modes of the '1D on display... ESPECIALLY if it comes with a "Minmey-in-hand" AND a double-battroid-seat gimmick!!!!!! ***already nit-picking***: I know that's a preliminary test-shot, but it doesn't seem to be marked '102' anywhere that I can see.....

JT is a moron and will not bring any economic benefit to Canada, so don't waste the brain-power on that one... even I'VE given up on it... as far as the cost comparrison, according to Wiki: EF-2000: Unit cost €90 million [114,959,082.17 USD, converted today] F-35: Unit cost F-35A: $89.2M (low rate initial production lot 11 (LRIP 11) including F135 engine, cost in 2020 to be $80M)[8] F-35B: US$115.5M (LRIP 11 including engine)[8] F-35C: US$107.7M (LRIP 11 including engine)[8] ...... damn... well, for Canada that throws the Tyhpoon out of the running, doesn't it?
-
100% agree throw-in a die-cast F-15 from zero [Pixie preferably...], or ANYTHING in the Razgriz scheme and they'd make a lot of $$$

as someone who no longer owns a gaming system, while I understnd why the AC5/6-Remasters are included where/how they are, I'm extremely disappointed that I can't get either on PC..................................................................... SCREW the new game, gimme AC5 and 6 and I'll pay you $60 for that!

How much of "Behind enemy Lines" was real Rhino vs CGI? They might allow a Rhino to do a little more than gentle turns... flares and a 5G-Pull... EDIT: "Flight of the BUFF"
-
I wonder if they'll be in the same colours as the FB2012 kit, or if they'll be all-white or gray... they're not [don't seem to be] releasing a separate Max and Milia, so I'm banking on all white plastic

I'm going to Leave this here for anyone who has a love for the 80's and the need for speed... also anyone with DCS... My Rio and I and our Cat will see you soon!
