I still refer mine matte thanks. I don't think there is debate on which looks more realistic, as most 1/72 models and diecast aren't glossy. They just look that way at the distance. Not that there is any issue preferring one over another of course.

Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII
raptormesh replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Dogfight is not about fancy maneuvers...it's about who has the higher initiative and more kinetic energy. The only advantage you have doing flips and cobras is to point your nose at the adversary with high instantaneous turn rates but even then your missile will not be in its optimum kinetic envelope if you launch it at 150mph. With current boresight helmets and all aspect seekers it's not really an advantage anymore. Even the ruskies themselves admitted that these are mainly for airshows and is not really an integral part of their WVR merge training for active frontline units(as opposed to test and stunt pilots). -

And promptly gets blown up by a missile with higher kinetic energy with a proximity fuse. -
Just got mine, really surprised by how long's the ventral EW fin. Think it would like better with super packs but that's many months to come argh.

Maybe this time the aliens will turn humans into zombies, to capitalize on that zombie craze we have now. You can turn them back if you stick an iphone into their buttcrack. 505th: Kirin sucks, L2Japanesebeer. Try Yebisu or Suntory premium malts, and I'm not even getting into the craft beers.

Well done charger, guess ill leave my weathered v2 19 in fighter mode as the gullet doesn't really bother me.

This is so bought. Think it matches the existing YF-21 rather well, my VF-19S did.

Well as long as it's not a Will smith and his kid thing again. I kinda enjoy the first one, if only for the massive furballs.

Macross Collectibles Market Watch - Current Auction/Store SOLD prices
raptormesh replied to jvmacross's topic in Toys
Actually hoping they pay zero some attention first. They are really due for a renewal. -
Thank goodness else I thought the Excalibur has a third mouse mode.

I'm so in love with the 21's high speed mode.

I never had a 1/48 VF-1, were the flaps really that bad? I think they add to the display options.

Yes flaps as well please. If they could do on 1/72 real world fighter models why not on a 1/60.

What's surprising about this? Isn't this pretty much the norm for bandai valks?

Please do not sully Max's name by comparing him to Michel.

Still like A best, then E perhaps.

I would rather they take on new designs rather than revisit the 21/11 as they are pretty decent now. Don't get me wrong i would be more than happy to pick up a few but they don't have infinite resources ya know.
