  1. Yes they do. A few:
  2. I finally figured out what the paint scheme reminds me of: Japanese F-2 attack aircraft. That price is amazing too. Must remember I only collect CF's. And prototypes.
  3. I wonder if they used a different factory, for its first and only time, to make the CF 171. That might explain why only the CF's show the bad plastic and crap assembly, and why it was reported that they ignored all the tolerance requirements. It might have been Bandai chose one factory for Alto's EX, and it cost more to make. So they contracted with factory B who made the CF for less, but it was garbage. Back to factory A for the RVF-171 and Maruyama.
  4. Welcome to the Macross Foodie Thread.
  5. I vote for Plus as being a good entrée into this craziness. You'd just have to quickly explain the Zentraedi race and why there's a giant robot sitting in a pool on Earth. Everything else is pretty much self-explanatory and easy to grasp.
  6. That's probably because there's a lot of weight over a very thin resin piece, like an ankle, say. I've built Warhammer Forge World resin kits for years, and they've never given me any droop issues. This one looks solid as well.
  7. The Advance is available again at NY for 28K. Go to it.
  8. I've had sweet basil Gelato before. Really refreshing.
  9. Seto, just write your own Master File already. If Kawamori put a terrifying amount of thought into his universe, you're doing a horrifying amount of thinking trying to decipher it.
  10. Hokay. This is something I've always been interested in, but never knew where to start. There's just too much... Stuff. Will this KS provide the "beginning"? I also see references to a cut and uncut version of some Muv-Luv materials. What's the difference?
  11. Understood. Had to ask. ☺
  12. Problem with the 29 is, they never made a CF version. I don't think the B counts. Saburo, are you getting a 27 Grace? Hopefully you'll take many tasty pics!
  13. That's from the end of June, has anything actually happened?
  14. And more shoulder-fired SAMS?
  15. That was Desert Storm, 25 years ago. Has the battlefield changed dramatically since?
  16. Oh right. We use Bandai's clips. Sorry, I feel dumb.
  17. Sorry, no. The v2, Brera's with Super parts, and now the re-issued Grace.
  18. Did you ever make one for the 27, or will the 25's work properly?
  19. Heh. Beautiful airplane, and I LOVE that splinter camo. Nightmare to mask on a model though. I believe the Oerlikon 30mm cannon fitted to the JA variant is the third most powerful gun fitted to a modern aircraft, behind the GAU-8 and the Spectre's 105. Was the Viggen effective? It was never exported, never fired a shot in anger, so how can one measure its worth?
  20. Simply writing TL;DR might have been a bit brusque. Noyhauser wrote some thoughtful stuff I didn't know, which I appreciate. I do sometimes wonder which is the "best" European canarded-delta aircraft in terms of capability, cost per flight hour, and performance. Typhoon, Rafale, or Gripen? And as for damage capacity and loiter time, how does the Frogfoot compare to the A-10, or other designs before it? Anyone know?
  21. I just remembered: what happened to the extra base bits you were testing, like the spare armament racks and the nameplate?
  22. Neither have I. How would I go about it?
  23. MJ: how much to have my Grace done up like the light weathered Brera? Simply outstanding work!
