Macross Δ (Delta) Mecha/Technology Thread - READ 1st POST
David Hingtgen replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
Unless that ship has a huge role in future eps, and the model's already ready. -
Chronocidal pointed out the pre-262 has a T-tail like an F-104. Combined with its intake cones and wingtip pods, it's very F-104-ish.

Now I'm waiting/hoping for a silver repaint. Presumed mid-season upgrade? PS----OMG, it IS an F-104! (In valk form).

Cheap F-18 in stock: http://hlj.com/product/HSGD10/Air (but the gear is molded in dark blue--harder to paint a light color). Just as cheap and molded in grey: http://hlj.com/product/HSGD8/Air Out of stock, but I bet they can get it in MUCH quicker than they say---that is a perennial kit that is constantly re-issued. Or just check a local hobby shop---every 1/72 Hasegawa F-18 will have the same landing gear, the only reason some cost $10 and some cost $40, are the decals. Buy whatever one's on clearance/sale. For people in the US---check Hobby Lobby and Michael's---with their perpetual 40-50% off a single item coupons, you may be able to snag a Revell F-18 REALLY cheap. And the gear will be just as good. If you're lucky, you may find an Academy F-18.

Hmmmmn. Proto-Flanker: Note main gear doors/airbrakes. -
Minor update---I don't plan to paint very much (would defeat the point!) but I greatly disagreed with their cockpit colors (it was fine for an F-15...) So, bits before painting: (quarter for scale) and after: (some parts were painted "on the other side"---but I'm not going to reposition all the parts that fell over while photographing) This is 1/144, with a closed canopy (that's not especially clear). So I'm not too concerned about painting nicely. I just don't want "black and grey" where it should be blueish. (modern Flankers are not "Soviet cockpit blue-green" inside, they are blue-grey---I read that RLM 76 is close, and it looked about right, so that's what I used)

The toon model seems more YUH-61 than anything. But the toy and toon are very different.- 9135 replies

I think I had my -25 sets for nearly two years before I got my -25 to put them on! Saved a lot of money in the end though.

Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII
David Hingtgen replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I want one mainly to have a working model of a cascade-style reverser. -
The same company that showed this when asking for VF-0D preorders? I'd have been ok with the minimal markings if it had actually released in "slate blue with pale grey undersides". But that pic's not even close to what we actually got.
-
Do they deal with being applied to matte surfaces better than traditional water slides? This kit's sheet says printed in China---not a good sign in my decaling experience.
-
Tiny pegs or clips on the edge, would be far less noticeable than half the coat of arms missing like it is now.
-
Seconded. Never heard of ASU DECA.

YF-23 gear is even better I think, but much harder to find. (I remember when those kits were cheap and everywhere) Also, if you don't need metal, you can buy a whole Hasegawa F-18 kit for less than the metal gear costs.
-
Ok, so they made a hinge for the left half of the tailfin/shield, and a second set of hinges for the right half?!? One single hinge down the middle would have looked a lot better, than the zig-zag they have now. Seriously, I've seen much smaller hinges doing the exact same thing, on other transforming figures etc. Why'd Bandai do the worst-looking possible solution? "Splitting in half down the middle" isn't some complicated new thing they have to figure out, I expect better.
-
This goes for both posts! There's no modex number printed on, but there's a small sheet of waterslides. All other markings are printed.

Macross Δ (Delta) - Mission 4 - READ 1st POST
David Hingtgen replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
I noticed the Deadfish release of Ep 4 seemed lower quality (more pixelated) than earlier eps. Like they dropped the video bitrate or something. Most noticeble when there's lots of "sparklies" (or missiles!) on screen.- 285 replies

So it seems few people like the Anubis-head? I love it. Though I also seem to be one of the few who likes the head on Messer's -31.
-
13 or 4? I'm tempted to do 4, but 13 is so much better-known.

I had FP NotWeirdWolf on pre-order, but cancelled it. Snout is ridiculously long, and the colors are all wrong----which is strange, as FP/MT has the best paint and color matching of ANY toy company. Hasbro's has perfect colors (wish their Triggerhappy did) and a much better wolf head.- 16674 replies

Ok, just a quick overview from last night (it's hard to take good pics at night under CFL's): I tried to give an impression of the paint job and the many small markings tampo'd on. A single piece of one of the intakes has more printing than my entire Arcadia -19 I think... Bottom pic, note the tailfins have each RWR/light painted---white, red, silver.
