Dale Brown came up with that one a while back... Also, as the resident F-35 contrarian I'd like to point out that the F-16 started out as a lightweight, affordable fighter with minimal avionics. Then they started hanging boxes all over it...

Heres something a bit different; a Tiffy in special colours to mark the 75th Anniversary of The Battle of Britain:

I would love to have seen a Hawker typhoon flying in formation with the Eurofighter in a matching color scheme.

Someone posted a cool video in the aircraft thread.

Hopefully they will announce new macross products and prey that it's not WF event exclusives like the mini sdf-1 and the blue nacho chips ship. Armor and VF-0S would be good.

Sunday 7/26. Hopefully there is an updated VF-0A production version on display and some new product announcements.

I was about to text that it seemed like it was for the chara thread. Anyways, can't wait to see what's gonna be shown during Wonderfest!

I'm waiting for kicker to come in here and show us his boxes! I can't even imagine what that would even look like...

My VF-0A reborn and my newest addition, Roy's VF-0S.

Nice! Thank you VF5SS for uploading it to shapeways! How's the fit? Need to order a couple arms to fix some VF-0s' in the repair hangar.

Those are pics of the prototype painted. Not the final colors shown yet that I could find. You can see more of those pics here (scroll down) and here. You can also read (translate) part 2 of 2 so far, of the development blog here. Mr. K said he wants to make the armor but it's still in the air and those holes are for future development (But come on really? It should be a no brainer if not it'll be useless holes).

Or you can just have a Macross series not called Macross in the title. Now not too sure about the nuance of the licencing contract HG has but it's a loophole. It only need to exist in the same universe.

And Skullmilitia, nothing should steal anything from the F-35. The latest test has made it clear that it can't dogfight against a F16 with two wing fuel tanks loaded and the 35 is flying clean and empty. The F-35 is a basket case.

Edit: Link to the article about the F-16 v F-35 test Though some are questioning the details of the report.

Link just reverts back here for me

Here you go, wmkjr. Length-wise and thickness, they're the same. Corner edges wise, it's more squarish looking on the Advanced Bossters. And the major difference is the wing slot middle section area. Almost the same tampo prints except the SMS on the Advanced Boosters are bigger. And the tip on the Advanced Booster is thinner than the regular boosters. Hope that helps.

Thanks!

Can anyone tell me if there are differences in these wing boosters versus the ones for the VF-25? Like a side by side comparison pic? Thanks.

Can the Yeti Base adapter install the other way? You can have the pivot on the outside of the base, bring the arm curving down and forward over the center of the stand. Gives it a little less height.

There was 40 total. 20 each color. Hopefully everyone wants the Bandai ones so these are a little more manageable to get.

Sorry to resurrect this thread, thought it was more appropriate than the YF-19 Arcadia one. Original post below.

Coincidence? TREX selling the Advance set again for Wonderfest Summer 2015. http://maruta.be/trextoys/69, anybody going and wanna get me a set (of course with compensation for your time)?

I'll put it up on the store and see how it sells.

Hopefully it sells well. That bundle is an awesome deal.

I'd be interested in a set.

I think that's more managable. I know it's not like the YS base but how's the stability along the different axis using the stock bandai bases?

@microtree- I'd say snag one now. I dunno about the restocking thing for these as I usually try to order via the dreaded pre-order madness. As for re- releases, the VF-25S reissue took a couple of years for that one. The VF-25F was a little better in reissued time. Hopefully a VF-25G one comes out next year or sooner if possible.

@swoosh - I love looking at your pics.

Hey now..........

Beautiful work!

Pretty brave considering the 2 signs saying no pics. Where was this display?

Neat looking bottom Saburo!

That scheme would be doable.

$85 for 1/60 or 1/72 unpainted, $30 extra for painted. Resin casted in orange color. Decals included. $50 down payment. Details near the bottom of the last page.

Great collaborations. Hopefully you can get Kurisama in on this for the HMMs in both scales. Your group should be called M2Worx or something.

I agree that it doesn't matter what he uses as they are all beautiful shots. I would love to get a full frame but I got a wish list full of other stuff my wallet wants to fight over.
