    No no no - that's Sukhoi's latest project. American fighters DO NOT have canards...

    Hi there!
  3. electric indigo
    Thank you all. Petar, the kit is not overly complicated, but also not a shake-n-bake model. Some putty was required at the closed landing gear doors, which was to be expected, and on the halves of the engine tunnels/legs. The lower legs have little contact area to glue. I encourage you to try all kinds of color/camo schemes on this plane (Model Grafix turned the two-seater into a Vietnam-era bomber), and yes, it's painted entirely with custom mixed Tamiya acrylics. One more shot:

    I finally managed to get some good shots of my 1/72 Hasegawa VF-11, dressed in a PAK FA inspired camo scheme. I smoothed out some of the irritating details on the nose, closed the opening for the head cannon and replaced the pilot, everything else is OOB. Good Hasegawa kit of a great design. The details on the hull feel a little under-inspired compared to what they put on the wings, but I'm glad they didn't have another rivet-fest like on their VF-1s.

    Yeah, Moebius missed a huge chance here, considering what is possible in injection molding today. If the usual suspects have a go at it, we can expect a lighting & PE upgrade kit. Hobbysearch lists it with a December release date and has another photo for us:

    New peeks from the hobby magazines - not much to report, though.

    New pics of a finished Moebius Galactica Price is about 70 USD.

    Uh-oh...

    Say what you want about the series, but Gundam AGE had some pretty cool designs. I just finished the AGE-2 Orbital in slightly modified colors.

    Ok someone watched Alien & Prometheus and then went to Mars with a slightly lower budget... The Hardware looks good, though. But the trailer already has more worn tropes than you can shake a flamethrower at.

    Yeah, it was Batman or Bond for him...

    Beautiful face and behind, but what is going on in the side view? It looks like the front end is far too short, and someone should tidy up the area behind the door and above the rear wheels.

    They might as well buy some Yak-130s.
  14. electric indigo
    Brilliant!

    Isn't the stretch already present at the purple line in the side view?

    We may finally get a good 1/48 kit of the mighty Viggen from swedish kit makers Tarangus. A CAD preview can be found here: http://www.themodellingnews.com/2013/08/attention-viggen-lovers-we-have-latest.html HLJ has it for preorder with an Ocotber release date. http://www.tarangus.se/

    Wasn't there some in-movie logic in making him look more "human" (= man in suit) than the mechanized cylons we see patroling with the ED-209 in the trailer?

    I watched Tron: Legacy again recently because the son of my GF wanted to see it and i still can't get over how insultingly bad it was.

    If they really wanted to make him a "man trapped in a machine" they should have broken up the silhouette more, like with the Synths from "Total Recall". More like "...in a mainstream entertainment environment"

    Thanks again for the pics - Wave really nailed the designs. The old kits were pretty much rubbish.

    I want to see that VF-11D with a russian camo scheme... - Arming my Gun Platform:

    A timeless beauty, thanks for the pics.

    I'm sure they have a license agreement, so they're more like "ka-CHING".

    Now who makes a 1/48 launch arm?
