  1. Nothing beats the onesie (for a baby) that said "My Daddy Flies Jets". With a big pic of a B-29.
  2. Ah ha, it does have a buch of Comet in it... (I couldn't for the life of me think of what the military-modded version of the Comet 4 was, and googling "UK comet transport" didn't bring it up...)
  3. Is this a real plane? If it is, it's awesome I want to know what. If it's not---then I think the artist had pics of a Comet and an Ekranoplan sitting nearby.
  4. The Ozma -29 is such a dark grey, that inking in panel lines is so subtle you're not even sure you did it. I switched to black paint for some areas, since it was "blacker". And it's still subtle!
  5. The gold stickers are fine, but anything with white/crest---the excess clear is massive, and stands out very badly.
  6. Heck, Quantron even without all its tweaks/fixes, seems to be far better than the VF-2SS turned out. Guardia should be another level better than that...
  7. With how much CGI hair has advanced in the past few years---absolutely. And in reply to kajnrig---yes, the dialogue did seem below-par, and "TV movie"-ish.
  8. The grey Super pack looks so nice in matte, I'm tempted to flat-coat my glossy grey Ozma -29. But since the main body involves moving parts, I worry about it chipping off. (Whereas armor parts and super packs don't really move/transform much)
  9. Oh come on, THAT's the first flightsuit Mirage we get?
  10. Did you remove/mask the nozzles before flat-coating the armor?
  11. Ouch, first I've heard of being broken that "early".
  12. I sanded down the tabs a bit first thing when I got my armor set. Heard many tales of broken tabs.
  13. Because a non-stickered black Sideswipe is then the uber-rare black Diaclone version, not G2. G2 is defined by neon colors.
  14. Put them on. Or use Reprolabels' version. G2 Sideswipe MUST have neon green stickers all over.
  15. "Fatigues" Mirage for display next to Elysion, Flightsuit Mirage for next to her valk.
  16. Am I nuts or does the Super Hornet have an unusual number of mid-air collisions? Another pair was just lost from VFA-211. All crew OK, thankfully.
  17. The pessimist in me says it's molded almost entirely clear, with a lot of clear-blue-paint carefully applied for the display. Note the blue areas look a but more metallic and opaque.
  18. The Gripen E unveil is so similar, but so much better: As for the F-15 vid---for trying to entice multi-billion dollar contracts, they could at least get the CG model right---it has both the larger E-style tailhook, AND the original early 70's tailhook fairing. I don't think those two things can exist simultaneously, and the latter hasn't been around for a while...
  19. No Mirage? Pass.
  20. I was just coming to post that, I had a "fridge moment"---"wait a second...."
  21. Smaller hinges would help more than painted hinges, IMHO.
  22. Well, the Yellow 13 kit definitely has "ASU-DECA" decals, despite me looking all over for something that matched the example pics. Made one slice with an X-acto and thought "that's odd"...
