Nice Hervé! Love his "Iceman" Helmet from TopGun!!
-
Do we think this will include a pilot?
-
Very nice work!
-
The Blue Angels used to pride themselves [i don't know if that's still a thing] on how short a time it would take their maintenance crews to re-convert the squadron to a combat-ready standard... the Angelbirds likely just don't carry the gunpod, but fly an otherwise standard issue [but smartly repainted] VF-1A...

walked into my local gas station and saw a knock-off zippo with THIS on it as artwork... she's my new favorite lighter!
-
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! awesome... People love who they love, write it well and throw in some transforming-fighter-plane battles and I'm in
-
well you certainly nailed it Kylwell!
-
Looks Great!
-
yes, yes we do... HINT HINT HASEGAWA!
-
We're all hoping as hard as we can.
-
... VF-25G is restricted to "One per Customer"... gonna have to get a little nefarious, because I need 2 lol ...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand they're back-ordered before I was finished shopping... nuts!
-
hmmm... I seem to have run my mouth based on hubris, and Unconfirmed intelligence [i can't read Japanese either lol]... maybe I SHOULD run for politics Make it wave... I'll buy as many as still making my mortgage payment allows
-
Perhaps the fact the prices are noticeably higher than other kits of the same size/detail is contributing to that... Even if it came with some stores and pylons, or a fret of photo-etch it'd be an easier price-point to swallow. A certain online retailer sells VF-4 recasts of recasts for $55US... I would venture the quality is abysmal, but it's still cheaper lol
-
I wonder if they're going to justify that price-point with Gimmicks... If so leave 'em out and make it cheaper, we'll buy more of them!
-
... at that price my ambitions need to be reigned in significantly... Jesus, that's $80 Canadian... for a plastic 1/72 fighter...
-
those are some pretty Rhinos... I have Hase's 1/72 Black Lions Rhino-F, and it's such a pretty scheme... I think most of these would be gorgeous on a VF-4. I'm particularly enamored with the Vigilantes, and of course the World Famous Golden Dragons
-
After going over all the paint schemes I wish to do this in... I may need more than 10... eventually. I hope this isn't a limited run thing.

In modern ships: The bridge is where one steers/controls the ship. The CIC (Combat Information Center) is where the radar/weapons systems and tactical info all gets displayed, and acted upon. In NuBSG navigating and fighting the ship is all done from the CIC itself.
-
$US I assume? well it could be worse...
-
any ideas on what the price range will be?
-
Beauty!
-
Exactly!
-
How have I missed these until now?!?! must have...
-
how about one with a polaroid camera, and one "Keeping up foreign relations"?

As one who almost EXCLUSIVELY builds aircraft/Valk's gear-up, I wouldn't mind! It would be nice to be able to display a two-ship where it looks like the pilots are actively flying/communicating, instead of sitting like Gargoyles in their seats, supremely focused on their instruments... that said, I do plan on doing a couple on the ground, so I'm likely going to pick up a ground-crew set or two anyways... One can never have enough good 1/72 flight-crew/ground-crew!! As far as planning out your sets, how many pilots are you thinking per set? Male/Female mix does not matter to me, as this is supposed to be the future, where women who can hack being a combat pilot get to be one, just like the men who can hack it. If you're doing 10 pilots per set, I don't think you'd have any trouble mixing in 3 or 4 females.
