    Pretty much. 2-digit "abbreviated" modex numbers on the flaps and rudders are fairly common and lasted at least until the end of the Tomcat era, so several decades.

    They really, really should have called it "Lightning Strike" instead, precedence/naming conventions be damned.

    Yet the final answer was what we all thought from the very first pics of Mirage's---"way too red, compared to the actual on-screen animation and official artwork". So I won't be at all surprised if the final color for Arad's armor is "way too much like the fruit, and not the more rusty-color"

    I'll take all those in HMR or DX. And a MAXL.

    Yup. For a game that had many awesome schemes (VF-11 especially), they sure did an awful job on the VF-4.

    LEGO has the best customer service, period. Email or call, you'll definitely get your missing piece. I've seen them airmail a single 5-cent part from Denmark, to make things right.

    Nobody's posted this yet? I think it's the best-painted thing EVER, I'd buy a car with this finish:

    Only in like the last 2 episodes I think:

    Those leg missiles are a YF vs VF difference, for the -19. Even Basara used them once, IIRC.

    I remember back when there were SO many compression types used, had to have a half-dozen at times, before everyone else gave up and settled on .zip finally (as it should have been from day 1). Though I still keep a copy of 7-zip around, as it'll handle the occasional odd-ball that shows up.

    I must have missed it---have we seen armor parts for Arad? (as in, officially solicited by Bandai, with pics, to pre-order)

    Just me, or is RG showing far more innovation than MG these days?

    Gah, M3 versions of the scheme. The Master Files versions look SO much better. (M3 had some amazing schemes, and some terrible schemes---which is odd considering they're really all the same scheme). Milia's VF-11B scheme from M3 is so much neater than her M7+ one. The VF-9 scheme is similar and also really neat. The VF-4's---were bland, had ORANGE accents, and were oddly pale/faded...

    I'd not gotten that impression from TFW, very interesting to read. I plan on waiting for a Cryotek recolor, hopefully they'll fix a few issues.

    Twinsticks made some moves much easier, but the controller was actually better for some options. Really depended on which Virtuaroid you used. Still annoyed Kotobukiya never re-colored Fei-Yen Kn in RNA colors---it was molded to do so, they did a lot of extra parts-separation and multi-part molding that ONLY was needed for RNA colors---yet they only ever released DNA colors.

    Does the gunpod actually have ground-clearance?
  17. David Hingtgen
    I'll give them points for the TPS camo, that Jolly Rogers one has the best replication of the actual colors/pattern I've seen in a LONG time, including otherwise very-well-done model kits.
  18. David Hingtgen
    Just from the teaser pic, that doesn't look like a B model, based on the antennas (lack of) under the glove and ahead of the vanes. Not a D either, for similar reasons. I'll have to look to see if any early-build B's looked like that, but that looks like a "final" scheme of VF-102. ::edit:: At least the fuselage nibs look right, a far more important part.

    I didn't think any airliner was certified/tested for 40kt crosswinds, 35's the highest I think I can recall hearing about.

    There's several VERY neat schemes from the 30th Ann game, though I really wish Kawamori had simply "very slightly tweaked this design" to make the VF-31. Imagine something halfway between the YF-30, and the VF-31A. THAT would be an amazing valk. Just have the tailfins "slide up" in battroid mode, kind of fill in along the trailing edge of the wing, and it'd solve a lot of looks/fragility issues there.

    Yamato did Nora's PERFECTLY IMHO, I would hope for an exact copy of that. I keep fearing Arcadia will do something stupid like "plain yellow" for the stripes, and not the awesome metallic gold---that'd be a deal-killer. Or, they'll make it as pink as Mylene's MAXL... Arcadia has a very poor history with "choosing the right colors". YF-19, VF-0D, I even have issues with some of their VF-1's.
  22. David Hingtgen
    They only used the -262 mold once, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t even make Chuck’s, much less more -31A’s...
  23. David Hingtgen
    FB2012 VF-4 in any form is welcome, but I worry that an HMR version would take parts-swapping to a whole new level. Like basically the entire top half of battroid swapping-out, and only the legs being used in both modes...
  24. David Hingtgen
    Like, 3 years later and they're just now revealing Admiral Scully? (I remember watching the video-interview showing her mo-capping it long ago) (personally, I find it kinda boring when they mo-cap and record an actor "just to look exactly like themselves in the game"----was really hoping her character model would look very different, just for the novelty etc)
  25. David Hingtgen
    I don't remember that sequence THAT well, if they were that inconsistent with what happens in that situation with two occurences just a minute or two apart...
