    Looking good. X-29?

    Thanks @Dobber, I couldn't make out the words on my screen. 479 TFW. Must be the Wing Co.'s ride.

    It's wonderfully garish... Anyone know what squadron that is? I may need to hunt down a set of decals... It seems that 21st century toys put this scheme on one of their 1/18 offerings... but I don't need a 1/18 Starfighter

    Put this paint-scheme on that Raptor: Come on, let's make Paint-schemes Great Again! Grey is boring, and we all know it!

    but will there be a Miria one? I can't lopside my collection like that...

    Hi-Metal R

    I'm fine with that if it actually keeps money out of HG's hands. been doing it for years, why change now?

    As a modeler I can answer the model kit question: 1. Death-Machines are cool [especially if they don't really exist and therefore can't actually harm anyone]. 2. Mechanical design [particularly, in my case, involving aircraft] is more art than anything ever produced by, say, Jackson Pollock for example. [and that's, like, my opinion man ] 3. If the show sucks [for whatever reason], but the Mechs or vehicles are cool/interesting that's enough to interest me in the design. Cases-in-point: Star Trek Discovery SUCKS and should be purged from the collective memory of Humanity... but their re-imagined Enterprise was cool enough that I picked up one of the kits. I've never seen "the Wandering Earth" but if I ever needed a Super-Heavy Truck model for something, this would be one of my first choices.

    😅 uhhh ... ONE! the 1/8000 Arii SDF-1... There's also the 3D printing aspect to factor in... the only limit with that is the 3d model. There are some highly talented folks out there, and I'm sure some of them take commissions! but I have SDF-1's in many scales, so I can still get a handle on relative sizes/satisfy my [often senseless] need for scale continuity Example: It sure was nice of Bandai to make their Star Destroyer in 1/5000, a scale that the SDF-1 exists in... Now I just need a 1/1000 SDF-1 to scale with my Trek kits

    Crazy maybe, but tbh if we're comparing the Brunhilde to, say, the Barbarossa, then you're on pretty solid ground for that argument! But we're not getting others if this doesn't sell, and most importantly for myself, it's IN SCALE to other ships in my collection to-build pile, So put me down for one

    Yes. In fact I think they may have had some localized inspiration for the White-ish fighters: JASDF Phantoms are the only "white" fighters that come to mind. They became less white over time: Their first batches of F-15Js were pretty pale as well:

    I expect they'll do the 17 and 171 in the same book... if they ever do, and I'll buy for sure.

    My wallet is devastated at the news!! The 1/144 kit is a sweet little thing. yes it's on the pricey-side, but honestly it's 3x better than I was expecting.

    If Hasegawa did either the Patlabor F-15J Kai, or the F-302 Dragon II I would buy many.

    I would forgive them the panel lines in exchange for the head/arms insert/replacement piece on the VF-X. The insert piece should be doable... heck, they did resin parts for for the VF-11D's camera-pod and the VF-1EX cockpits... The extra vents I can paint, I can sand off the extra lumps and bumps on the VF-1... and I'll scribe my own panel lines If it bothers me later lol and while they're at it, they can fix the 1/72nds leg droop
  19. slide
    I'll take a VF-X please... that's an easy one Hasegawa!! it's practically a Gimme!!!

    at least I'm not the only one who suffers that affliction

    That seems so odd... I can't imagine why anyone would think that, looking at the shape and imagining where systems would go and be oriented... the metal "Pyramid" on the underside-amidships as she sits on the trailer is the mounting-interface for the RCS-test-stand, or at least it seems so to me. Are the folks making that speculation under the impression that planes are always mounted inverted on the mast? They're not: They get mounted in multiple orientations to be examined from almost every angle over the course of a test program. What good would a fuselage shape be if it generates negative lift? because if it is upside-down, that's what's going to happen. The drooped "leading-edge" or "LERX" section further solidifies that it's upright in my mind. Can't wait till the declassify it and prove me a fool!

    Seems not...

    AND a 90% chance they'll re-pop it next year or two

    Don't let anyone tell you it isn't possible: it's just not cheap, or feasible on a mass scale... YET...
