  1. A Handy primer on the Kerberos universe courtesy ANN I found it quite helpful to put all the bits I've seen into context/timeline
  2. Thought there was one tucked away in that one immage... ............. now that I look at the stand it's on it does seem more appropriately sized for a DX...
  3. I hope you mean CALCMs [AGM-86C/D]... as ALCMs [AGM-86B, the nuclear ones] would've made a mission all kinds of special lol. Also since they lost that 117 in the Balkans it's not only old, but probably compromised tech too... I've never wondered how Russia/China came up with the skins for Su-57, J-20 and J-31 all within a super-short span of eachother... Unless the Brits went Full-"Rolls Royce Nene" again selling cutting-edge aviation tech to Russia.....................................................................
  4. I think it's safe to say the B-2 has had to add the F-117's tactical-ninja-bomber role to it's collection of duties... although that may change again when F-35 and F-22 are actually deployed together and working in-tandem. Perhaps the B-21's will simply be redesigns taking account of the lessons from Spirit [*cough*WATER-PROOFING*cough*] with new options/capabilities for a more tactically focused role.. you are correct about the B-1B being de-Nuked with START, but I thought that was a removal of certain systems and modification of pylons thing... given enough lead-time they can totally be made to be capable again... The B-1 can sling cruise-missiles Like the JASSM, so if they make a nuclear warhead for those............. or a new missile using the same mountings, then why not? it's kinda like everyone looking at the new Japanese Carrier "Helicopter-Destroyer" and saying: "Yea, but if you BOLT a Ski-jump to it...." and the JMSDF replying "Yea, but we Didn't/Haven't, so !"
  5. Bandai seems to be closing-in in their promised VF-19 HMR... so
  6. Unfortunate about the decals not liking your clear-coat... other than that she looks Wonderful!

    I'm going to go this route: Solid M&M colours with white DYRL stripes and a white nose. Because it reminds me Alot of @PetarB's Milia Custom VF-4 Racer: OMG it's beautiful! ... His Max-Custom VF-2 is also pretty snazzy... plenty of inspiration

    SK?
  9. If that's not the most Baller Name-flash on a canopy....
  10. Maybe they're worried about several things... They did lose an AH-64 in Japan to a "main rotor assembly issue" recently? sounds related.,.

    after 2021 we might [HG loses ALL rights sometime that year], but not before then
  12. having never owned one of their SV's, but having heard all the complaints, I would assume they had a lot of work to do to "make it better", let-alone "right"

    Your drinking vessel is double the required volume... A good start to 2019 for Macross toys, not our wallets though...

    Bandai's 1/144 RG Gundam hands are quite impressive...I wonder how they scale...
  19. I'm curious... is their plan to fly upside down? or is that a coastal squadron? why else would you blue-camo the top? at least the Russians are figuring out where to put their blue camo: Purple on the top, standard Flanker Blue-over-Blue-Camo on the bottom... makes way more sense to me... [the pictured su-30 is a naval-aviation bird: note the navy ensign behind the 'pit]

    "One of US, One of US, ONE OF US!!!" I'm also loving the "is that all?" setniment... HMR VF-4, DX VF-31E, DX Armoured VF-31S [and these are only the newest announcements].... hasn't your wallet just been shown a terrifying vision of it's impending emptiness? HAST THOU NO MERCY?! lol
