Holy S#it!

The egg has been laid:

and one more of that sexy profile:

So the x-37 is finally above our heads and nobody knows what it's doing? Article from Timesonline

+1 He was over-the-top annoying, but at the same time you couldn't fight off the uncomfotable feeling of a certain risk that you could run into a character like him in reality. Great performance from Kingsley in this off-side gangster movie.

What does the Big Red Button on the right do?

I really like the artwork. And some good designs in there. I'll snatch the trade paperback when it comes out.

So the construction is more complex and the price is higher due to the transformation, but the kits are still much cheaper than what you'd pay for 1/72 resin kits.

This one isn't too bad, either:

Seperated at birth?

The body color should also work for the CF 25, right?

Here's the crop of the hi-res photo. Like I said, if it's shopped, it's very convincing. What's most dubious to me is that there is still no single other photo of the painted plane.
