Video is Timestamped, I'm not really sure what the color on the underside of these B/C model Supersylphs is, in some frames, it looks Tealish or more Raf Sea blue-gray (I called eggshell blue earlier) and in other frames more tan or greenish. I should also note this matters because I think I wanna have my 1/72 Super be one of the other surviving SAF birds, Carmilla or Llanfabon.

The 1/72 Fand II just arrived, and man its a nice casting, flashless and silky. Only disapointment in just super sylph Im gonna have to vac form a hollow canopy and grab some after market cockpit set like from a Viper im thinking, or maybe just print the needed part. Also having finished my F111, BP Defiant, and P40B. Im thinking im going to get working on my 1/72 super sylph again, and now that Ive got a resin printer, I can print her really nice crisp fan blades, and stores like AAM-5 and such. This being said, my 1/144 Super Sylph turned out pretty nice back in the day. But im not feeling the russian style powder blue I used for the belly tone on the small one, Im thinking a more RAF ww2 eggshell, like very subtly blue cream color, or maybe an RAF Seagray, subtly blue gray? Not sure yet

Here's my translation of aggressors, its a bit shoddier than Unbroken arrow, and contains more direct quotations than the previous one:

So folks, Ive finished Unbroken Arrow and am Half through Aggressors. While reading Ive done a detailed summary write-up, more detailed than I planned actually lol Would you guys be interested in seeing those? Since an official translation isnt on the horizon? Its not page by page, but they are long detailed summaries.

Thank you! and I'll keep a lookout, Platz does seem to do re-releases every so often, speaking of, I feel a little silly spending what I spent on the previous release of Maeve in 1/72 on ebay, now that preorders are out for a Maeve re-release lol

I acquired the Platz 1/72 Super and am using Super Hornet Resin cockpit pieces for detailing, and for the canopies I just did an old Modelling technique of 'Crash Forming' wherein you get the part to be formed mounted (which the resin plugs from this kit made very easy) cut a little form of the part's foot print, I just used cardboard, then you get some clear plastic, I used battery blister pack plastic, heated over a toaster till starting to flow, then quickly plunged it over the part with the form and held till cooled, these were my results: Also, as for reading Unbroken Arrow, and Now aggressors, if you make a Japanese amazon account, you can still use American credit cards, etc. and get the kindle versions of both, and reading them on the kindle app on my phone has a built in translation, which is just bing machine translation, and far far from perfect, but I have been able to get the gist of each page and about 1/3 of the way through unbroken now, and some wild crap has happened lol. Lastly, I have spent a substantial amount of money acquiring 1/72 Super sylph, Mave, and Fa-27, but it seem that the Fand 2 and regular Sylph are no where to be found, if anyone knows of any kind of re-release or someone whose selling either of them, but esp Fand 2, I'd be over-joyed.
