    It's no where near that long, prob about 6 inches. I'll post some pics when I build it, prob this coming weekend. I got bored Sunday and primed/painted and put the Falcon together, gave it a quick acrylic black wash and then started applying the "stickers". I must eat my own words here a bit..while not waterslides, they really aren't bad at all...very thin and lay down nicely over tiny surface details. Just use a qtip to press them down hard. I'll post a couple of pics later. The detail on these is truly incredible, you really have to look at them under a magnifying glass to see appreciate it. I do have a nitpick about Bandai's Falcon's though...even the BIG boy. The cockpit "olive" is too squished and looks odd from the top and sides. FineMolds was a bit more elongated and to my eye looks better.

    Those look great! Love the camouflage pattern on the Nazi plane. I picked this up from USA Gundam store online this week for $18 out the door with a 15% off coupon on their eBay store with free shipping and it's here 2 days later! Very detailed little kits. One slight issue. Effing Bandai....ONLY BANDAI would NOT include water slide decals for two of the tiniest SW models they've ever produced. Stickers only. Really Bandai??? REALLY?!!! Guess I'm using them whether I want to or not. Can't mask off stuff this tiny... I don't think. Anyways.. Will be a fun little weekend project sometime.

    Wife and I both liked it. As many have said, not the strongest entry into the MCU, but better than some. It was a fun ride. I laughed out loud several times at SLJ's lines with Goose. Bring on Endgame!!! I'm stoked to see her bring down Thanos a level or two!

    I'd prob have to bite on all 3 of those....

    Not I. Much to blocky for me. For the price, I'd stick with YetiStands.

    Time for a Star Wars break...now.. I've never built a Hasegawa kit before, and I've heard they can be a bit... different... So... I'm gonna let you guys tell me which to jump into 1st. I'm kinda leaning towards trying the Raptor.. LOL

    Yamato did the hard work, Bandai just cleaned up the messy bits like the stupid falling off missiles and reduced the size! Looks great! Can't wait!

    Fairly proud of how this one came out, took the advice of @electric indigo and went over the whole model with a very white light grey mix sprayed very lightly to kind of tone everything down a bit and tie everything together. Followed that up with some Tamiya liquid smoke. I actually got the water slide canopy frame decals down on the clear cockpit on this one. I despise frame only cockpits, my one real complaint about all the Bandai SW kits. Finemolds options were better, as were their battle damaged /already chipped water slide decals. But anywhoo.. Enjoy the pics!

    I'm ALL in for the Regis!!! The Regent???...eh..maybe.

    I agree, the musical talent of the cast AND Will Smith's performance will carry this movie, if the songs work and the genie is good, I'll forgive a lot of other shortcomings more than likely... I have mild hopes it will be decent.
  22. derex3592
    Looks awesome Cap!
  23. derex3592
    Basara would DIG that ride.......

    Thanks for the tips @electric indigo. Sometimes I think I do over complicate these things under the guise of "But I saw it on YouTube and it looks super easy!" Anywhoo.. I've remasked and repainted /repaired the damaged areas... mostly I think and hit it with the Florys again, here's how things look so far...

    EDIT II -- From Tamiya's Website -- sooo..it's a "synthetic lacquer"...ya gotta wonder WTF that actually means... Also you gotta love the statement "NOT affected by acrylic or enamel paints"...uhhhh...riiiiggght... TS These cans of spray paint are extremely useful for painting large surfaces. The paint is a synthetic lacquer that cures in a short period of time. Each contains 100ml of paint, which is enough to fully cover 2 or 3, 1/24 scale sized car bodies. Tamiya spray paints are not affected by acrylic or enamel paints. Therefore, following an overall base coat, details can be added or picked out using enamel and/or acrylic paints. By combining the use of these three types of paints, the finishing of plastic models becomes simpler and more effective.
