  1. PO’d at BBTS. After 30+ years, Sentinel did it!
  2. I’ve heard they were pleased with “Fulcrum” as well. There are other Russian aircraft with names; the Beriev Be-12 flying boat is called the “Tchaika” thanks to its gull wing, I think the Tu-160 strategic bomber is the “White Swan” for pretty obvious reasons.
  3. Not to brag, but I snagged my VF-31C and VF-1J preorders while lying in bed with my iPhone on Wi-Fi at Oh-Dark-Thirty. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it, but thought I’d contribute anecdotal evidence that, yes, Virginia, miracles can happen.
  4. Whelp, having looked at the 21 pre-flight and takeoff sequence again, the wings still have discrete control surfaces despite their MAW technology. And, looking at an “official, in-anime” front view of the 21, those stabs are huge.
  5. Pre-ordered from BBTS. Got the blu-rays, time to get some cool toys to go along. Anyone know if the helicopter gunship or the modded F-15 and F-16 were ever made into model kits?
  6. “This one’s Des, and this one’s called Troy. ‘Cause when you put ‘em together... they destroy.”
  7. It looks like it - the only payment provider they accept is PayPal.
  8. Tage the legend!
  9. Hm.
  10. I don’t think the 57 even has a Russian name. From what I read, Russians call it the “PAK-FA” (phonetically) or “Soo-57” (57 in Russian.) And NATO is still very much a thing, with what, 11-12 languages to deal with. Add to all that Russia generally doesn’t play nice with others and there’s still a need for a code name. I guess “Firefox” will never be a thing...
  11. If you build and paint, or at least paint, I’m in for one!
  12. Reminds me of a paper football.
  13. The Su-57, neé PAK-FA, neé T-50, has finally been given its ultimate designation by NATO: “Felon.” https://theaviationist.com/2019/11/01/nato-code-name-felon-su-57-gets-its-reporting-name-and-it-couldnt-be-better/
  14. I grabbed this yesterday! At last!
  15. It’s because it was shown as a “complete set” with Super Parts that has people wondering.
  16. Hobby Master’s HA5805, F-117 Nighthawk “Vega 31” of the 7th FS. I was a military brat in Aviano back in ‘99, when this was assigned there, so this has special significance to me!
  17. At 1:25 on your same video, he says “Don’t know if you can see the light in it?” And dang if that doesn’t look like a reflector and light source.
  18. Hey! You saw me during the YF-19 Full Set Pack pre-order!
  19. I think the Eaglemoss K’Tinga has an LED torpedo tube. Hope it’s not too bright.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    I was surprised nothing was announced for Delta.
  21. Anyone else stare VERY HARD at the Valkyries on Kawamori’s shelves?
  22. Just noticed the main landing gear door in the wing root - that’s gonna be tall.
  23. Love triangle, song, Valkyries are the pillars. The bases are Kawamori. The capitals are pineapple.
