    wm cheng used "50:50 Tamiya gloss white and flat white, with a few drops of XF-59 Desert yellow".

    See above post.

    They also make a "unofficial Baroness", as seen a few posts above. At least a few people have added some field gear and a Cobra insignia.

    While I love Milia valks, I just can't afford "another YF-21" to get her -22, even if it's made. I may hold off on buying any -11s for a while, in case a Milia -11 is made. I'd like a VF-0D above all else of the "likely to be made soon" valks. Followed by VF-5000.

    Darn. Hmmmn. Wonder if it leaves a little round hole or a big square hole when forcibly removed. (or is it actually molded to the torso?)

    The hell?

    I always took it as Shin was being an uber-ace and fired the AIM-9 solely to distract the MiG-29 and make him evade and deploy flares, while Shin was preparing his "real" attack with the AIM-120----and the MiG-29 fell for it/flew right into it. Basically, Shin baited the MiG into position.

    Because it's a fake, intentionally nonsense designation that somehow eventually became the official designation. In short, it's a mistake, and that shouldn't be the official number but they're not going to change it now. (much like the JSF should be F-24, not F-35)

    ???? More info please, never heard anything about that. (and very confused as to what could possibly use a CFM56 in a fighter jet etc application---did they totally redo the entire fan section and make it into a low-bypass engine or something?---the core alone is still far larger than any fighter engine though)

    Just a little note, but aircraft piston-engines have been twin supercharged, turbo-supercharged, super-turbocharged, and every other possible combination since before WWII. (you can do some pretty extreme compressing without detonation on 155 octane)

    I was on vacation or I would have posted thanks for the Grace pics sooner.
  12. David Hingtgen
    To me, the definitive Flint is toon colors. Still waiting.
  13. David Hingtgen
    Why is Grace picking her nose?
  14. David Hingtgen
    Because G1-deep-blue TC is the coolest color ever for a TF. 1 dark blue TC is worth 10 light blue ones. (I haven't worked on mine in weeks--but it'll be done some day)
  15. David Hingtgen
    Didn't expect an Xmas episode today! Anyways--most homage-filled episode ever? I think so.
  16. David Hingtgen
    How'd I miss this? Anyways, it really should go in the "Other" forum.
  17. David Hingtgen
    If anything, I'd figure they'd be a vortex dissipator, due to the extremely visible vortices the YF-23 tended to make in turns. PS---anything unclassified you can tell me? Send a PM. YF-23's my all-time fave plane and any tidbits are much appreciated.
  18. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, but adding parts usually found on airliners and Cessna Citations onto a fighter jet isn't very "cool". It'd be like adding schoolbus or minivan parts onto a Ferrari. Same general type of transport, but you're adding mass-transit/civilian parts onto ultra-high-end equipment. That's the point I'm trying to make.
  19. David Hingtgen
    Winglets on a fighter jet are REALLY pointless. (actually, I'd go so far as to say they're detrimental)
  20. David Hingtgen
    Quick note: first Camaro has been delivered to its owner. (as in, normal everyday guy who just ordered one, not some special/corporate/charity delivery or something)
  21. David Hingtgen
    Maybe they'll get a real redhead for Jean Grey this time.
  22. David Hingtgen
    Which one? Polidred posted pics of 2 different cosplayers. Either way, if you want more pics of the 2nd one (mainly construction) go here: http://www.cosplay.com/gallery/a45364/p1

    http://translate.google.com/translate?prev...history_state0= And to see how it was built over the years, click on the "project" link on the left menu. Special treat at the end of the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yRifXI7sYQ&fmt=18

    The best M7 song is Holy Lonely Light, and it's best as a duet. Big missed opportunity there.
  25. David Hingtgen
    I only know Deadpool from internet meme posters, honestly.
