    Absolutely not a Kulbit, and not a Herbst turn either. Kinda close to a Cobra followed by a Hook, or a Cobra-turn. But not really any of them.

    It's amazing how being just a few shades darker than before, has everyone liking Mirage's colors so much more.
  3. David Hingtgen
    I do hope there's a "white knight" (silver?) repaint of Keith's. That'd look even cooler IMHO.

    Wouldn't look as good as the big-ass filming model. Isn't the Excelsior the largest one built for filming? (length-wise, at least---the first Ent-D may have more mass) I know it was still marked as the Lakota when it was auctioned off, is it in London now? (whoever bought it...)

    The engine sure exists, as the original version of the CFM56 was designed to replace the JT3D 2-for-1. That was the cornerstone of the DC-8-70 program. How does the B-52 get air to pressurize the cockpit etc? Original DC-8's used turbocompressors, but the upgrade to the -70 removed them and they used bleed air from the new engines.

    Mmmn, VF-111 and VF-1. So hard to choose.

    Nice to see more people coming around to the "Delta 04" team.

    I hope for flightsuit Mirage, since we never got Grace....

    V2 Milia. But now I'll just wait for the 1/35----it'll be cheaper!
  10. David Hingtgen
    Yup. I have ZERO desire for an M7 11C, not even at $100. But give me VFX-2! (I passed on the M+ 11B simply because I've owned that scheme several times before, and it's pretty bland---I need a more interesting-looking -11)

    There's a TON of Devastators, but Poseidon is the only Piranacon. Easy choice IMHO. (Assuming you like Piranacon----he's far less popular, thus far fewer versions Abominus is also lower-tier popularity-wise, but above the Seacons! MMC's Abominus is only slightly past the rumor stage though. TFC could easily have an Abominus out before MMC does.
  12. David Hingtgen
    Absolutely! (Barring Hermann).
  13. David Hingtgen
    What was it? I was all ready to do something, but I don't want to repeat a joke.
  14. David Hingtgen
    VF-11's aren't even all that big or heavy, 3 should be fine.
  15. David Hingtgen
    Of course that's Graham's favorite-----it's the most VF-17S-ish head.
  16. David Hingtgen
    That YF-30 is *exactly* what I want from a VF-31A----mostly low-vis but with a nice "splash of color".
  17. David Hingtgen
    I don't think there's any valk I want more than Mylene's. (Well, maybe a 0D in proper colors...) But for a "normal" VF-11------I would buy a VFX-2 in a second.
  18. David Hingtgen
    It's surprising how different the -262's battroid proportions are compared to the DX. (And the DX looks WAAAY better IMHO)
  19. David Hingtgen
    I've wished for years that they'd use black screws instead of chrome. Half the screws are "in the stripes" and would be invisible if black. But the chrome stands out. (Forearms too, not just legs)

    Am I the only one who keeps mentally calling it planet Voldemort?
  21. David Hingtgen
    They're starting to buy used, AFAIK. Airbus is doing fine---the A321 is selling so well and so fast, the new Mobile factory is pretty much doing othing but pumping out A321's for DL, AA, and jetBlue. (because you can't buy 757's any more, and they're getting old---the A321 is the closest thing you can get---NOT a 737-900ER, despite Boeing's marketing...) Even the A321Neo won't truly match a 757 though.
  22. David Hingtgen
    Just a quick shout-out, but if anyone's interested in selling a Generations Voy Sandstorm (Springer remold), I'm looking for one.
  23. David Hingtgen
    Mirage is one of the series leads, it seems odd to relegate her valk to such a late release---but that does seem to be what they're doing. Especially with Arad so early on---sure he's got the "flashiest" scheme, but plot/character-wise, he's far less important than Mirage. (I'd argue against Messer as well, but his valk is heavily featured, even if his character is not).
  24. David Hingtgen
    As this seems to be a plot/dialogue-based ep, and not "heavy mecha action" like the last one---I'll wait for subs this time, for first vieiwing. Hopefully they come out as quickly as ep 6's did. (but again--with less action, it'll likely take a bit longer to do) Anyways---gg always seems first with subs, but now I'm seeing Doki-Chihiro as an option---are they notably different/better?
  25. David Hingtgen
    Whoops, sorry, brain fart.
