Understood on all counts; it's kind of like when you read an awesome novel and they make a movie of it. Only in this case, real life just cannot do what anime visualizes so well. I had a slight hope that it could do well, but while the actors did the best they could, but the feel of the original just wasn't there.

From the TV version, there had been survivors on earth in small pockets that hadn't been hit directly by the Zentraedi orbital bombardment of Earth. Although in DYRL we didn't see any survivors, I would assume there were probably at least a few ( I think Seto Kaiba would have a better answer). I do know from what I've read online that cloning was used to quickly rebuild the population, discontinuing it when DNA errors began creeping in. All of that said: I don't know how many survived overall. But they didn't send out colony ships all at once; they had time between launches as well. Anyways... Seto Kaiba or one of the other folks here should have a better (and more complete) answer than this; my knowledge base is a bit limited due to my lack of access to materials.
-
True; that given, there's always the possibility that some survived (outside of MII as you said). And yeah: Kawamori is pretty unpredictable, but it's that unpredictability that usually gives him a creative edge I think.

I believe there are 5000 Zentran fleets still out there (Main Fleets), and who knows how many Supervision Army ones?
-
Er...piccy no like me... ROFL! I should make a Vicki Vale figure! Thanks guys...this is my first ever scratch build for a car!

UPDATE: Finished the front ends of the rear wheel wells/ cooling air intakes. Added hard sides to the car overall, and more fully developed the main rear cowling (sloping down to turbine exhaust nozzle). I have wheels for the car, but I need to develop tires for them; the rear axle is complete and ready for installation as soon as I get the tires made. (no clue how I'm going to go about doing that just yet.) Also going to be starting the cockpit soon, and the tail fins. Yeah, the car looks a little big for Batman, but I keep referring back to the scale pans and they're correct. We'll see how stuff goes, better than a little too small, right? Stay tuned...

Ah, found my mistake; I must have put in the wing diameter (56 feet). Thanks for posting the length, I was beginning to wonder about my mental faculties!
-
Nice model! But one thing doesn't add up: I took the length and put it into a scale model calculator, and it said it should be about "14 inches" at 1/48 (the model reviewed is nearly 27 inches)! I redid my math a few times using the calculator, so either I'm going blind or the calculator is wonky: http://www.scalemodelersworld.com/online-scale-converter-tool.html#aScaleConvert So, can someone help me see what I did wrong, or am I just really bad at math? O.o

UPDATE: Still working out the body shapes; meantime, prepping to build the cockpit internals and the air scoop above the cockpit. Still need wheels, finish building the rest of the rear fender/ air intakes and the fins. Then we'll see about the canopy and slide system. Also have to do some front fender work (finish the headlight area) and the join between the front fenders and the main turbine housing. Stay tuned...

Mission- Accomplished: Parts have been mailed out; one of these should fit!
-
Thanks! BTW: we need one of each: Airwolf KITT Street Hawk Blue Thunder Automan (car and helicopter) Viper The Highwayman (both rigs)
-
Man... HT must use some really crappy rubber/vinyl material. Glad I never got their stuff!
-
Yeah...just missing the U-Haul banner.
-
Ah, sweet! Someday I'll have to see if I can invest in one then! Save myself the trouble of a transplant! And you're welcome; I figure those might help.
-
Fair enough; It would have been interesting to see how much both of them had rehabilitated/ developed in total. It just seemed to me that MII had progressed a bit more. True. That does make me wonder if Protoculture were trying to develop that kind of tech (move entire planets)? *Imagining a hilarious image of an Earth-like planet trucking past a colony fleet with a enormous "U-Haul" banner around it. *

I read somewhere that the Aoshima kit was a simple reboxing of the AMT kit. In any event, I dug up some info that may help you out (the internet archive wayback machine is a wonderful thing! 😞 https://web.archive.org/web/20130227040649/http://projects.airwolf.tv/resources/index.html Photo gallery of actual craft pics: https://web.archive.org/web/20130122225950/http://projects.airwolf.tv/resources/maairwolf.html Blueprints: https://web.archive.org/web/20140310135937/http://projects.airwolf.tv/techdraw/preview.html Tech Drawings of armament: https://web.archive.org/web/20140803111231/http://projects.airwolf.tv/techdraw/resource.html Hopefully, all of this should help you out in your endeavor to re-create the Airwolf you remember! Someday, I need to take the interior I did on my old Airwolf and transfer it to a new kit... the old one is falling apart (the plastic is disintegrating).
-
Maybe, but the Kawamori universe seems to have more trouble with the Main fleets than the MII continuity. Also, Earth doesn't seem as much a wasteland in the MII universe as in the main timeline. I guess it depends upon where development is being prioritized.
-
UPDATE: Got the wheel wells and side walls of the body installed. The front fender under-supports are what you're seeing here: the final, correct layer has yet to be installed. I also began the basics on the cockpit, and need to add in proper seats (driver's and passenger's), as well as the dashboard. Additionally, I have to source wheels for this project wherever I can find them (money this month is extremely tight due to utilities, even with assistance!). Wish I had one of the Kenner Batmobiles; that would have made this a lot easier! Stay tuned...
-
All very good points; that said, I think the other timeline would be somewhat envious of their abilities.
-
So UN Spacy in MII must be considerably more powerful than in other iterations in order to be able to encounter main fleets and not have a sudden fleetwide shortage of clean trousers?
-
Which means they were not exactly evil, just pulled into a situation they never wanted. I wonder if they were also trying to find a way home to their own dimension over time? Perhaps with the Vajra war and other forays into fold space, they may find an avenue for that?
-
So that entire war was basically the Protuculture versus their own creations the Protodevlin then? Or am I off on this?
-
Now ya tell me....
