  1. I'm still under the impression that a lot of the traditional modelers bash the Bandai kit for not being a traditional model, which it wasn't meant to be from the beginning.
  2. ...which happens to be on sale at HLJ: http://www.hlj.com/product/HSGSP271
  3. The Striker NECA fig actually looks quite good. The surface texture in the movie is a bit overdone. There's also a Sideshow offering: as well as the alternative design: http://i.imgur.com/fMOUcUu.jpg
  4. I'd rather have a proper 1/72 kit; it's such a big bird with pretty plain surfaces. But maybe I fall when I see the first builds of the 1/48. Mechaninac, I've heard about some bad apples in the Hobby Boss range, but I built their 1/72 Rafale and it was Hasegawa quality.
  5. I use gaspipe pliers on my crusty Tamiya bottles because I'm too lazy to do my Iron Modeler's Workout properly...
  6. There's a new 1/48 kit of the YF-23 coming from Hobby Boss. For now, we get this nice box art
  7. I have Tamiya Sky Blue X-14, which I use to mix a lot of blues. Adding light grey to make it scale-appropriate should do the trick, you just have to choose where to stop...
  8. I'm going to mix the colors for the F-2 with Tamiya acrylics, but the sky blue is pretty difficult to nail down. It looks different in every photo of the real plane.
  9. Ah, thank you. Apparently there's a variant (ground attacker?) with a different nose design:
  10. Great stuff. What's the bird with the gun pod in the foreground? The Kamov Allligator looks cool with the new camo. More pics of it at the manufacturer's page: http://www.russianhelicopters.aero/en/press/news/4450.html
  11. From the report pics it looks like there will be water slides as well as stickers and metal foil stickers.
  12. the 4th gen. fighter with a 5th gen. price: With it's little brother:
  13. This is a nice design from Gundam 00, are you going with the standard colors? I put mine in a clone trooper outfit:
  14. So is the new dark grey top scheme for the Russian Naval Aviation or is it the general scheme for the Air Force, since the new SU-34s have it, too. Reminds me of the JASDF scheme, btw.
  15. New Classic Raider kit next to the new Classic Viper (both 1/32) - I need a bigger house...
  16. You'd think that Scott had noticed that while they were still making the film.
  17. with another new paint scheme? http://www.airliners.net/photo/Russia---Air/Sukhoi-Su-35S/2273615/M/
