    It is Bandai, and their final production DX valk paint is rarely as nice as the samples'...

    I dub that one Hathor. (because it's like Anubis, but white---we really could use some more Z.O.E. stuff...)

    Macross Galaxy VF-27β

    So add-on parts, or completely new kit?

    And I'm still waiting for a Grace anything...

    I thought I was the only "Heart and Soul" fan here. Sometimes I wonder if it's even better than Holy Lonely Light. (but it's not) We really need more Emilia songs...

    Isn't that just Roid's?

    Shape-wise it's great. But I must echo the many comments I've already seen about it being flat grey, and not silver. That IMHO is along the lines of making Prime's grille and bumper white----that's a technical limit of animated cel paint, not the intended color it's meant to portray. Megs is supposed to be silver. That is an aspect when slavish toon-accuracy should absolutely be ingnored.

    They do a lot of airliners, quite nice ones. I think they do tanks, too.

    Does it come with a second, buff/Var pilot sculpt?
  11. David Hingtgen
    It'd look even more amazing if it was a -31A.

    The DM Exia was specifically listed as clearance, and the website said "$13.74" at my local store. It's among the most expensive ones that was indeed clearanced. (and why it's suddenly sold out everywhere)
  13. David Hingtgen
    MG Dark Matter Exia was listed at my local one in stock, but it was gone when I got there. If I'd known a few days earlier I probably could have snagged it--I know they had it, I've held it in my hands a few times. Proto Zero I'd love to have, but it's listed as on-line only and you only get the clearacnce price in-store.

    That should simply be Milia's, and not 'Mirage use' in Milia's paint. ::edit:: Ah, it uses black instead of grey on many parts, that's why it looks so much better. And homages Milia's M7 VF-1 scheme in a way.
  15. David Hingtgen
    Pretty much that. I couldn't even tell you how Delta ended, despite watching the last episode. It just kinda "stopped". If there were more episodes--would it have actually mattered?
  16. David Hingtgen
    You could go with 1:48--- http://www.flyingmule.com/products/HM-HD2004 A 1/48 F-14 is a good bit larger than a DX -25.

    Bandai's own "final" shots are often of a hand-painted proto, with a few small added details that don't make it to final production. Until someone has it in hand, there is no way to be certain EXACTLY how it'll look.
  18. David Hingtgen
    I'm leaning more towards Roid's as well and hope we get a DX of it. (Which I've termed Hathor, vs Keith's Anubis).

    Ep I has Qui-Gon and Maul. What does Ep II have that's good at all?
  20. David Hingtgen
    Only the A-7F does. All in-service versions are fixed. I would like a perfectly end-on view of an A-7F like that. Regular A-7's don't even have what I would consider a nozzle--it's a pipe! But the fuselage itself is slightly oval. I wonder if the A-7F's was reprofiled to be circular, or if the movement of the petals is so relatively small that there are no clearance or heat issues. Took this pic myself, because every model gets it wrong and so few people believe me: Oval fuselage, round exhaust. (this is the A-7 at the Tico Warbird museum---highly recommended, as they have A-4/A-6/A-7/F-4/F-8/F-14/F-16/F-18/F-101/F-105, and are only like 1 mile from Kennedy Space Center)
  21. David Hingtgen
    Better than Ep II for sure.
  22. David Hingtgen
    It's not. Unless books from the 80's are full of shopped pics and false info... Production A-7F's were to have F-16-style F100-220 engines, with full nozzles. But the protypes only got to fly like that a few times. Most of the time they still had "normal" A-7 rear fuselages. A-7F's would have rocked.
  23. David Hingtgen
    I posted the pic I did, because a brief search didn't bring up any "true" configuration A-7F pics--with a fully-feathered nozzle. A longer search still doesn't bring up any. Was every single pic of the A-7F in that configuration scrubbed from the 'net? I may have to take a pic of a photo from a book... ::edit:: Finally--the OTHER A-7F:
  24. David Hingtgen
    The A-6 looks neat from some angles. But the A-7 was fugly from all aspects right from the start. Amazing considering it came from the F-8. (If only the A-7F had went into production...)

    Mineral spirits are AKA white spirits, so maybe white oil is yet another name?
