    I actually like the RVF-25 more so than the other VF-25 variants; I even sold my Bandai kit in anticipation of Hasegawa's release. I ended up pre-ordering 1, hopefully the Ghosts will either be included or available as an additional kit like the weapons set or stands

    The kit is available for pre-order at HLJ Not sure if the text in the photo mentions anything about the Ghosts but the price of the kit is the same as the VF-25F/S & G kits so I assume they are not included

    YF-19 looking J-20! Someone created some CG images of the J-20 with forward swept wings:

    Welcome to the forums, the Nothung 2 is from Macross The Ride, the regular VF-11B Thunderbolt is from Macross Plus. The VF-11B Thunderbolt and Super Thunderbolt include what can be considered low viz grey schemes on the decal sheets but there are no low viz aftermarket decals. An option is to use 1/72 low viz decals from real aircraft / squadrons, which is what a lot of Macross squadrons seemto be based on anyway. For example, the VE-11 Thunder Seeker SVAW-121 Squadron seems to echo the real life USN VAW-121 AEW Squadron. There are numerous low viz F-14, F-16 and F/A-18 decals out there available for you to appropriate and use for your own custom Squadrons. Edited to correct spelling

    Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 missing. Outcome is not looking too great. Was hoping the wife would not see the news as we are flying at the end of March and she hates flying

    Bandai does not make any 1/48 Macross kits so Hasegawa is the winner. If you are referring to 1/72, Bandai does not make any non-transformable Macross fighter kits and again Hasegawa would be the winner if you are looking for a kit in fighter mode.

    Perhaps the photos of the Cat's Eye built by PetarB will help

    Is BAe still involved in the export of the Gripen? If so, I doubt Argentina will be a potential buyer...

    The part swapping is not complicated at all, the Hasegawa VF-0 kits are modular. I have all of the VF-0 kits in my stash and can confirm that the VF-0C is essentially a VF-0D with the cockpit / front aircraft section from a VF-0S (plus the weapons from the VF-0A/S kit) & the VF-0B is just a VF-0S with the front section from the VF-0D. You just need 1 VF-0D and 1 VF-0S kit, swap the cockpits, canopies and front sections and you have 2 new aircraft.

    New paint scheme for Blue 55

    For some reason a lot of CGI from Asia seem to be lacking in quality / realism. The weird thing is, if you look at the credits for a Western produced movie you will see a lot of Asian people are involved in the special effects and CGI. I have to assume it is just that Asian movies have a lower in budget compared to ones produced in the Western part of the world or they are just really cheap on the effects. I've seen some newer Jet Li movies from Hong Kong / China and the CGI were really bad.

    The Comanchero shares some similarities to the AH-56 Cheyenne, which had a retractable wheel in the rear fin

    Radar absorbancy is dependent on coatings and possibly construction materials, it has little to do with looks. I believe you are referring to Radar Cross-Section (RCS) and even then it is mute to argue how 'stealthy' an aircraft is. All stealth aircraft can be detected one way or another, it all depends on the tradeoffs you want.

    Thanks, Jason. I received mine earlier in the week.

    Has anyone stateside, other than Grayson72, received their VC-33 yet? My tracking number only shows it was created July 1st

    Has anyone received their ground support vehicles from Jason? Has anyone built any of them yet?

    Ahh, now I understand. Thinking about it, I guess I would prefer to have the original instructions too.
  20. Model-Junkie
    You can print out the photos, Hobby Search provides actual scans of the instructions. I assume Checkmate will also be sending you a scan? :shrug:
  21. Model-Junkie
    Go to Hobby Search and click on the photos for the instructions for your kit.

    I thought the majority of overseas shipments will not get taxed in the U.S.?? Crap, I just had a shipment of books delivered by FedEx and was about to throw away the letter they sent me as its usually useless info....

    The Hasegawa 1/48 Raptor been at the $30 mark for a while at online hobby stores. I think some of the complaints were the surface details being too 'over done'. My only complaint was it was in the wrong scale. I literally have a squadron of F-22 kits in 1/72 scale from Revell, Fujimi and Academy so the picture posted by derex3592 will come in handy A quick search on Google shows the F-22 paintscheme image originating from DeviantArt by an artist named Kryptid Supposedly that bottom left scheme is based on the B-2

    Just want to add I still do not have a tracking number
  25. Model-Junkie
    A lot of Hasegawa kits are limited run, especially the ones they re-pop with different/special decals or variants. That said, some of the other Japanese retailers, such as Hobby Search, still show the kit in stock. I am glad I picked up a few.
