  1. @wm cheng Amazing work on the cockpit; too bad most of it will be invisible, especially with the pilots in place. Are those cowlings sculpted on the kit's parts? Oh and on the Hase pilot, you can use a small drill to open the space under the oxygen mask, it really makes a difference IMO. You can see it here on my Sinoraptor.
  2. MT, these are regular 100 kg fragmentation bombs. I don't know how the training rounds are marked.
  3. They will go on my Fitter. An interesting bit of info I learned on the Su-17 is that the pilots trained to fly a low-level approach & pull up before releasing the bombs, thus sending them on a ballistic flight path onto the target.
  4. @Dobber What derex says. With Tamyia acrylics, the cleanup is easy & basically odorless. - Just another regular day at the bomb factory: Each rack is 35 pieces (sans bombs) and took me an evening to clean up and put together. Now back to the plane...
  5. You can't get military sets from Lego, but fortunately you can get military planes that look like Lego.
  6. We finally get a kit of the F-15 Kai, but 3.500 Yen for 1/144 is a bit ambitious. https://www.taghobby.com/archives/468224
  7. What I like most about this offering is the absence of rivets.
  8. It will probably come cheaper to grab a Hase kit for the decals.
  9. Lovely.
  10. Peter, I suggest setting that E on fire. It will just give you more pleasure.
  11. Stunning work! Do you consider any of the upgrade versions of the Barbatos?
  12. @peter Thank you for documenting the building process; it's an amazing kit and you really did it justice. I was always bugged by the official pics and most builds where they blocked out the hangar doors of the carriers in solid black, I like your wash solution much better.
  13. Another interesting Kotobukiya release is this How to.. book in cooperation with Ammo/Mig. It's available in english! https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10710231
  14. For the model builders: Available in three scales. https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10701259
  15. Legendary composer Ennio Morricone died at age 91 today. It is no exaggeration to say that he created a whole universe with his music.
  16. I surely like that Mass Effect paint scheme better than the toy colors of the TNG ships. It's something I would try on the Shenzou kit if it were a bit cheaper.
  17. Korobukiya has some interesting designs in their Hexa Gear series, but the still look too much like toys for my taste. Your paintjob definitely helped to make this machine look more serious. Do you also have some pics of the kit from Suisei no Gargantuan I see in the background?
  18. If you find Bandai's Star Destroyer kit super lame, just mod it into a cutaway version: https://dorobou.blog.ss-blog.jp/2020-06-26
  19. It does look really cool. The only thing they need to improve IMO is those trench-wide panel lines.
  20. Testament Gundam coming as a P-Bandai release. Did anybody build the Dragon Momoko kit?
