  1. I thought this was going to be an announcement by Bandai or Hasegawa. E2046 are known for selling recasted resin kits, I wonder which kit this was copied from? Apparently its not a great one, according to the one review on the webpage
  2. The 1/72 Hasegawa F-22 is a reboxed Revell kit.
  3. Great job on the kitbash. I have been wanting to do something similar with my Hasegawa VT-1 or VE-1 The canopy reminds me of the F-16D. It may look unusually long due to it having a flat profile, canopies for the F-14 and F-15E are taller and curved
  4. Treatment, what stands are you using for your figures? After hunting on Mandarake for a year I finally have most of the Gundam Wing Robot Spirit figures, including all of the exclusives and option sets. I just need Epyon, Wing Gundam Ver.Ka and Tallgeese II Edit: Ok after a bit of search it seems you are using Bandai's Action Bases. I may pick up a few of these rather than the Bandai Act Stages since they're more affordable!
  5. ANA plans to paint one of it's 787's in R2-D2 livery
  6. You also have the Chara-works 1/144 pre-assembled and painted models
  7. The Boeing 747-8 is announced as the replacement for Air Force One
  8. Tree trimming with an F-5, Kenyan AF style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?x-yt-cl=84359240&x-yt-ts=1421782837&v=QnvVDjgfX4M&feature=player_embedded
  9. They are currently backordered at AmiAmi and HLJ but their prices are a little cheaper. SAL shipping from both stores are pretty good too.
  10. I stand corrected as JET7 also mentions some gluing is required in this thread. I do not recall gluing any of the parts on my Hasegawa VF-0 battroid. I had the Bandai VF-19 but I sold it as it was too clunky for my liking.
  11. But the Hasegawa 1/72 Battroid kits ARE 100% snap fit and poseable, just like the Bandai Gundam kits. Even the joints use polycaps / rubber parts. However, they only include waterslide decals and no stickers. Check out the kits and the instructions from Hobby Search
  12. I believe it is because of the aircraft livery; the original Eastern Airlines went bust back in the early 90's. Cool to see they named the aircraft after Eastern's first CEO & World War 1 ace, Eddie Rickenbacker
  13. He's a very talented artist, his sculpting skills are mind blowing. IIRC he started out customizing Star Wars figures on the Rebelscum forums
  14. HLJ has the Arcadia 30th Anniversary VF-1J on sale for a little less than $75 if anyone is interested
  15. Sukhoi T-50 (055) catches fire upon landing Edit to attach photo
  16. I never realized that most airlines leased the majority of their aircraft. I assume older aircraft such as the ones in FedEx's fleet are owned by the company? Eurofighter crashes as Moron de la Frontera AFB. Condolences to the pilot's family. Edit to correct spelling
  17. If the info is correct, 1486 Boeing 747's (of all types) were made. LOW_ALT, are you able to mention who the customer is? I assume it must be a freight / lease company to have so many and I believe the 747 is being phased out of passenger service in favor for more twin engined wide bodies.
  18. Thanks for the explanation on the water tanks. I had read that the B-52's used to use water injections during MITO exercises but failed to carry that logic over. Luftwaffe Bavarian Tigers painted one of their Eurofighters in Tigermeet paint :
  19. Did anyone get a set of instructions with their kit? I went to look at my kit again and I noticed I did not get a set of instructions, everything looks complete though.
  20. Thanks for the info on the decals. Was there any mention of a price?
  21. Wow, that is some very impressive work. The amount of detail and features are mind blowing. Looks like I will need to get into 1/350 models now What is the size of the completed model? On the plus side, it allows for army building at affordable prices.
  22. Its been out of stock for a while but SSM currently has 5 in stock for those who have been waiting
