Goshawk

JBO Insecacons??

Thats close to what I said, I have never seen anything like that.

Browsing Ebay just looking around I saw this, I have never seen a Jetfire look alike like this, anyone else know what it is?

Ebay Jetfire look alike thing

I thought AWACs were still flying?? Or did they finally replace them with the Joint Star?

Just anouther question, what would a custom job like that run? Cause I know there is now way I can paint that.

Yes, same here, I am in on this.

WOW!!! I would love to have one of those. Awsome job rarityraider.

well Imgine your a fighter pilot and you have 1 or 2 bogys flying around say around 30,000 ft and your around 25,000 to 27,000 ft up and you are barley getting a radar return from your on board radar, so you have to go to visual, IE Eyeballing it, well you know there close but the paint scheme blends in with the surrounding clouds and sky.

And yes at that high up it can lol, but as you just flying along all of a sudden your threat reciever lights up with a possible radar sweep or a target lock, you look around and cant see them cause they blend in with the background. then POOF! Your dead. Of course it dosent always happen that way but it is a "sound theory" as the military would put it.

Thats why some ships are painted the colors, Black, for night ops, lite blue and white for day operations, but with the white the can work in the dusk and night to blend in with the clouds.

I now i left out somethings so Im not sure Im totally correct here but this started I think pre WW2, I may be wrong on the time area or i may be close to it, the idea was orginally desgined by a pilot at the time.

EDIT: I hope I didnt hijack the thread

yes, belive it or not its actually harder to seen while in flight and high up, acts like a camoflage to the ship.

Gundam markers??? I havent seen or heard of these, but then I am just getting back into modeling.

Edit: Cool just looked them up. Just have to figure what set to get lol.

welcome to MW !! let's the addiction begin !!

He aint just whistlen Dixie. I will be one to vouch for the Yammie Addiction, even though I only have !/60s but damn I want more lol.

I saw the scale.

To clairify: Banepresto size ? Same size as the macross 1/144 doyushas?

Sorry there Roy, I thought that was what you meant.

Face forward??

I just saw the triailer for Yukikaze and I have to say, I must have the DVDs now. I just wish I had more money!! *wonders if buying a new truck is really worth it*

listed as 1/144th scale

Knowing Northrop like I know them, they have got something up their sleve if the 23 didnt make it, they have always got something better right around the conor, but then this is how they are with NASA when I was working at NASA.

Oh yea do you by chance have a link for the resin 1/48th? I took a look around either i didnt see it or skiped right over it on a search

BF2 is gonna be sniper galore! Hurray! makes me think back of Delta Force 2, large maps and 1000m+ snipertargets.

All I can say to that is, Oh Yea Baby!!! Sniper heaven!

If I were to ever buy an M16/M4 type rifle, the first thing I would do would be to replace the standard grip with an Ergo Grip.

When I was working as a cop in Ms. We had that type grips on all our M4s. Talk about major comfort and I loved the ablity to get a better grip. Last I heard there a alot of Poice agancys are suppose to be switching to those grips for thier weapons

Gunner

the only thing I can think of is that the History Channel did a big thing on it, so you might want to check there and also the discovery channel, but that all purchase

As for airbrushing, I´d say go for a double action even it is more expensive. I´m happy with an Iwata bootleg (made in Poland, about 50$) for over ten years now.

Yea I have been looking into getting a double action, I have alway heard they were better. I went back and checked out airbrushes at the store near me and they carry a brand called Badger. Ill link the page so you can take a look

Bager Airbrushes

I love the wings, looks awsome

Sweet pics, I love seein the Lightening, Warhawk, and T-bolt (or Warthog?) flying together... which is the jet with the open jet engine nose?  Harrier?

Umm, no, that would be an F86 Sabre. Edit, lol, looks like Goshawk and I hit upon the same thought.

Great minds work wonderful Mech

even with buying from the UK with S&H it still be cheaper here to get. Oh well I tried. Im not sure but I think I went through the area you are in on my trip up to see family in scottland.

Im gonna hit New Orleans this weekend, I hope to grab me some paints and supplys and strat on this VF-0D I got

have you guys ever used Vallejo paints before, I used them along time ago while I was big into Warhammer40k. they were great working on those models so I am hoping they havent dried up so I can use them on this VF

lol your not the only one BoBe. BTW nice avatar,

well you cant win them all, so umm how much is S&H from canada to the lower US?? *wink wink, nudge nudge* jking
