    At this point, I think it should be renamed Kawamori's Kobra, based on how often he features it...

    Guess we know what's going to be on the cover of Ace Combat 7 now.

    Start keeping an eye out for the super parts. Even at "above MSRP" they shouldn't be *too* expensive, since they're relatively cheap to begin with. Plus there's only the one set---you don't have to worry about finding and paying for Super, Armored, and Tornado parts like with the -25.

    Get it. I wasn't much of a -29 fan and bought my Ozma mainly because of the colors and head. But it turned out to be about my fave 1/60 of all. It is simply a "fun" valk to play with.

    Exactly. The F-14 has a ground-only wing setting for parking. And the A-5 could only fold its tail fin on the ground.

    Just like the Angry Birds movie coming out....

    He has a Diesel-only vid, and an M3 vid. ::edit:: Hmmn, I didn't see him remove the shoulder connectors at all. I'm talking about this situation: Once the combiner shoulders are attached to Diesel's connectors, they like to stay on. And many have stressed, and a few have broken, trying to remove them by yanking/tugging: But if you do like I wrote earlier, they come off EASILY. The only other part to really watch for on Diesel, are the black tabs (drive wheel section) that hold the "wings" onto the back. Just be sure to always peg and un-peg "straight" and not angle them. Protip: the wings are on sliders. Get the angles right first, them move the sliders.

    Hmmm, I don't recall him mentioning that but it sounds similar to my method. Let me rewatch his vid. Is it in the Diesel vid or M3's?
  9. David Hingtgen
    It's not the tooling for the airframe, it's the systems. Good luck finding avionics and landing gear.
  10. David Hingtgen
    Remind me to write the easy way to separate M3's shoulder connectors from Diesel. "Twist, yank, and tug until it gives" is NOT the way to do it.

    I'd not heard of that, and my first TomyTec kit is on its way from HLJ. Does normal cement just not work, not work well, or what? (because I tend to avoid CA when possible, especially on painted areas) I use it for reinforcing or gap-filling, not "primary method of adhesion". I'm betting (regardless of what the pic/wording implies): You take the front half and wings of the fighter kit. The arms and legs of the battroid kit. And the "exclusive" center-section (backpack+intakes) of the Gerwalk "set". The Gerwalk set's only difference/part, is that center-section piece.

    Aircraft guns are bore-sighted to converge(if multi-gunned) and hit at a certain point. I think I heard 1500ft for an F-4.

    Needn't be anything so fancy. Concorde had secondary and tertiary intakes, but had "mere" afterburning turbojets.
  14. David Hingtgen
    Not nearly as great a need as the B-Wings have though.
  15. David Hingtgen
    Relative canopy size is often a goodway to tell how big a fighter is. Look at a Su-27 for a good example. That is a ginormous fighter, with a small canopy to match.
  16. David Hingtgen
    So is the underside pure white with no stickers? Reminds me of how most LEGO planes etc are done----with no concern for looks/completeness on the underside.
  17. David Hingtgen
    Not the scheme, the wings. The other -31's look too much like the -29, while the 31A is like a "perfected" -30.

    I've always disliked the repaint Leader-1 (despite owning one) because I always (rightfully?) saw his existence as denying me the "proper" grey one. I honestly can't remember if I had a grey one before the blue one and lost it, but I know that it took FOREVER to find a grey one after getting a blue one. The grey one just disappeared from shelves the moment the blue one showed up. Even more OT---Spectacular Spamurai! http://www.taghobby.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/sic.jpg

    The-25 kit was better than the V1, but the renewal actually had the best fighter mode, because the nacelles/legs didn't hang too low. And the renewal actually, you know, pegged together...
  20. David Hingtgen
    Ah, but the -9 series also share names, not just FSW-----Cutlass, Excalibur, Durandal-----they're all named after swords. 3 valks, 3 FSW, 3 swords. It's more than coincidence at this point.
  21. David Hingtgen
    Frontier had tons of post-credit scenes. Heck, that was the only time we ever saw flight suit Grace.
  22. David Hingtgen
    I ALWAYS pivot the wings up and put the wheels over his shoulders. Looks so much better that way.

    I'm just waiting for the "Mirage Jenius sings Sheryl Nome" album.

    Scyla----Hayate seems less anti-military than Basara at least, yet Basara's talent was considered so important they created a VF-19 variant just for him and let him "do whatever he wanted" even when it interfered with the military operations. So in the Macross universe-----anyone can be a pilot in an elite squadron, provided they have an exceptional skill.
  25. David Hingtgen
    Eh, Katana's arm mode is the worst bit of Guardia's combined mode IMHO----that's just way too much tailboom+rotor to just "hang off his wrist". G1 did it better, sad to say. Really, both arms are too fat/blocky. Should have found a sleeker ambulance(though that's almost an oxymoron) but there's certainly sleeker rescue choppers with smaller slimmer tailbooms and no landing gear pontoons. And one with a fenestron would have helped a LOT IMHO. Ironically CW Blades has one!
