  1. i have a quick question, is there two types of engine on the plane on the schematic? and another question i have is, why are they referring to number 22 and 50 as turbine blades? as far as i know turbine blades are always located at the rear end of the engine.

    See:

    http://manuals.macrossmecha.org/vf1/valkyrie_fuel.html

    (includes unofficial specifications by MAT/Masahiro Chiba)

    Note that the diagram has the label of "Sub Compressor/Rectification Fan"--this is because it the second turbine fan set.

    on the diagram, i don't see any turbine rotors. so what drives the compressors?

  2. Sub-compressors are still compressors. (Usually called "boost" stages and GE is fond of them, but still compressors). And all the locations and appearances still look like compressors. Especially #50. You could show that drawing to every aviation fan you find, and 100% would say it's the first stage compressor/fan and they'd all agree that's NOT what a turbine looks like. The turbines of each section would be well aft, and hidden. You could draw an arrow to where they are, it's fairly obvious on the drawing.

    IMHO, it both looks like (according to the drawing) and makes sense (how jets work, regardless of whether they run off kerosene or flowers) :) that it should be:

    22. Low-pressure compressor.

    50. High-pressure compressor. Or booster compressor, if you want. Might be better for a "thermonuclear reaction turbine".

    And then somewhere around #46, would be the actual turbine stage(s).

    that's what i was thinking, coz the turbine rotors drives the compressor spools. at least that's what i learned in A&P school.

  3. Are you sure its a Super VF-1J?....sounds to me that its only the 1/48 1J without FPs....

    Otherwise that's an awesome deal...

    Well... it's $U.S. 129.99 + 30.00 for shipping (worldwide from Honkong)...

    Found that one on eBay... there are two left.

    But I don't know if the seller is trustworthy... everything seems to be alright up to now. ;)

    six,

    it's cheap. but if you look at her negative feedback........she packs em cheap also.

    just bubble wrap???no box??feedbak page

  4. See, not the same thing

    Yes they are different. But the set previously released are not used for this kit. Kinda sucks because I like that set better than the new one.

    Still gonna get it though. It still looks pretty cool. So is it safe to assume that the paint scheme (mainly the light blue and dark blue pattern) are painted and not decals?

    i saw it in some thread that the decal with the dark blue and light blue thread marks are from a hasegawa car model kit. it's not painted on.

  5. i know the product code for the tamiya gloss clear cote is x-22 or something like that, but what is it for the flat clear coat? does anyone know? thanks.
