  1. Dang it, you beat me by seconds. ::edit:: Several distinctive real-world identifiable buildings in there, not that good an effort for a "future city". I'll let others make the comparison/blatant ripoff comments of the overall design.
  2. Does this pic not confirm that at least some of the conformal missiles are removable? (left arm/nacelle, outboard) (or was that noted before and I just missed it)
  3. For my PS3, if I hear the fans go into "high" then it's definitely time to stop playing. Many games never trigger this, even after several hours. But MGS4 sure will, and most of the A. Creed series.
  4. And upgraded sonar for tracking marine life so the "tourists" can get a heads-up on where to look...
  5. That's my fave version of Zeta by far. Still haven't built my MG kit of it though...
  6. Sea blue is basically the same color as insignia blue. Ever so slightly greyer IMHO. But they are very close.
  7. Bumping just so it doesn't get TOO lost. Also---I really wish they'd use this for Frontal's theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4Tz5ILOf3o&feature=BFa&list=PLE44CEA7189050CE7
  8. Putting this here because it doesn't have nearly as many views as it deserves: Yes, there's a lot of FF7 covers/remakes out there. Trust me, this is the best of the best. And if you think it's merely "meh" after the first minute, skip to about 2:50.
  9. Just going off the pic he posted above---that's a quite bluish black in that lighting. Bandai has always had "off" plastic colors---their white is never "pure" nor are their blacks---they love to use "very dark blue" plastic in nearly every Gundam they make. They tend to use green-white or purple-white for "white".
  10. Russian plane landing on a Russian carrier---China should be so proud. (that's the Varyag with new paint etc) Yes, this is the result of the infamous "Chinese travel agency bought the hulk to turn it into a floating casino" incident. Maybe next a "Chinese toy company" will try to buy an F-117 hulk for "making scale models"....
  11. You might want to try 35044 "Insignia Blue". (that blue is so dark that even in the summer sun, most people will swear it's black)
  12. Eh, they often put Tomcats and Hornets aboard that way, too.
  13. The entire history of the F-14B/D is a good example of "interim" changes etc becoming permanent, and some important advancements not being ready while the rest of the airframe is, leading to weird hybrids etc.
  14. Legs are way too low in fighter mode. .
  15. I think everything's in the instructions, just easy to miss. Like the flippable seats on the sides of Prime's trailer. Though I do think the gun and axe trailer storage locations are undocumented.
  16. Clear-clear, or like clear-green or something? Are they ret-conning it to be quasi-Unicorn-ish?
  17. I think about 50% of people forget that one step in transforming to truck mode: flipping down the panels from the arm to fill in the fenders behind the front wheels.
  18. Eh, the SR-71 never fired a shot in its entire career. Look up "nuclear deterrence" for a big part of the F-22's role. Similar idea as boomers. Very complex, very expensive, and likely may never actually be used for combat.
  19. That's one sticker I don't want. Want to split a set?
