    Hoping for the the Deadfish MP4 subs soon. GG's MKV doesn't play on my Blu-ray player.

    Word of advice.............don't attach the head laser until after you have finished everything else, such as finishing applying stickers/decals etc. I made the mistake of attaching the head laser early on and ended snapping it in two by accident while applying the stickers to the completed kit Manhandling the kit while semi-drunk is probably not a great idea also...........hahaha

    Yeah, I think the rule should be spoiler tags until 24 hours after the subs are out.
  4. Graham
    Still no subs yet? Already Monday night here. Damn, I'll have to slum it and watch episode 1 of season 2 of Killjoys instead.

    The only thing I didn't like about the new fighters was the canopy frame was too thick for my liking.

    I actually enjoyed it. I liked the new Earth fighter designs and thought the dogfight were pretty cool.

    Just a test shot, I'm sure tolerances will be tightened up and gaps reduced before the December release. That's usual how things work.

    Can see hardpoints on the wings now

    Well, finished building mine yesterday, just gotta apply the stickers, but will do that tomorrow. Gotta say, it locks together pretty well in Fighter mode, with one exception, the two small white pieces that fit just ahead of the railgun muzzles, they don't lock in place very well. Anybody else having that problem. Haven't transformed it yet. As I'm not gonna use the decal sheet, if anybody wants it, I'll post it to them, as long as you PayPal me the postage cost. PM me, first come, first served.

    Added the other wing and one arm last night.

    I've got the nose, forward fuselage, backplate and one wing done so far, just straight snap-fit build + panel lining with a Gundam marker and using the stickers. Just spending about an hour on it each night, 3 nights in so far. I've gotta say what I've built so far locks together very well. The engineering that went into this is pretty impressive.

    Seeing it tomorrow morning. Hoping for some cool dogfights.

    I disagree. The micro-missiles carried on the legs of the YF-29 look to be of a much smaller type than those carried by the VF-31. Also the way they are stored is very different. The YF-29's tiny micro-missile are basically stored stacked single layer deep like drinks on a drink tray on the outside of the lower legs, covered by a clamshell hatch cover and designed for mass fire once the clamshell cover opens, with two small ports in each clamshell cover for auxiliary fire without needing to open the clamshell covers (obviously at a mach lower rate of fire, compared to if the clamshell covers are open).The VF-31 by comparison seems to fire a larger type of micro missile through a larger closed port launching door, which is likely fed from a tube type magazine. Given the guesstimated space taken up by the engine, the internal capacity of these micro-missile launchers is probably fairly small. I estimate based on the visual size of the launching port door and the micro missiles as shown in the anime, this is likely 3, certainly no more than 4 missiles per launcher. I do wish that Kawamori would definitely state data on the number of internal missiles carried and also on gunpod calibre and magazine capacity for all VFs.

    Did a bit more tonight. Doing a little every night. Forward fuselage and chestplate done. That's enough for tonight, now off to watch episode 10 of season 6 of Game of Thrones. Have to say what little I've done so far locks together well in Fighter mode and no real need to use more than a couple of dabs glue so far.
  16. Graham
    Although I've yet to do a scene by scene comparison. Going by memory I suspect that was reused animation from Messer's missile launch scene in episode 10 at 20:03.I have a feeling that 3 missiles per launcher is probably the maximum capacity, giving 18 missiles in total.

    I'm using the stickers. The blue horizontal stripe below the cockpit in my photo is the only sticker I've applied so far. Quality seems fine to me, it seems to adhere well enough. I'm just snapping this kit together as quickly as I can and using a Gundam marker for the panel lines. I'm not skilled or patient enough to use paint or decals.
  18. Graham
    Just finished snapping together the nose section. That's enough for tonight. Now to watched episode 13.

    Damn, no Dead fish subs yet
  20. Graham
    Yay, mine just arrived at my office this morning from HLJ.

    Didn't Brent Spiner's character die in the first movie?
  22. Graham
    I presume there is a decent amount of mecha action this week?
  23. Graham
    Not exactly. The whole GAU-8 Avenger canon assembly including barrels, breach mechanism, drive and magazine is about the length of a VW Beetle. The magazine is not as big as the whole car.

    I'm of the opposite opinion. I think the physical model kit representation of the Super Parts actually looks better than how I remember the animated CGI version looking in the show.

    Yay, just got my shipping notice from HLJ.
