    Changed later as part of the transition from practical models to CGI models. This model represents the Bonchune as seen in the Voyager episode “Message in a Bottle,” and by that time the CG was being used. The stand “squeezes” the nacelle pylons into that shape. Out of the stand they’re pretty much dead straight. This is one stand that’s going to be replaced.

    Got my Nebula XL, the USS Bonchune, in today. I must say that I like it; for the most part the paint is good and the details right. The black windows… some need help. The magazine has a reasonable amount of how the Nebula class got designed and made; half of it is devoted to the TNG episode where the Nebula class and the Cardassian race got their start, “The Wounded.”

    Wings have been truncated, looks like, meaning this may be optimized for space use… but then why add a dogtooth to the canard?

    Holy crap. I never thought I’d see the day. Wonder how much Covid had to do with this, in terms of losses, so that BW and HG HAD to get into bed together?

    It’s an uninspired redesign, gotta say. One more change they made is the wing roots, they’ve been extended forward and the canards have had their rear surfaces cut out to accommodate it. I wonder if the canopy is solid like on the 262 for the holographic imagery system.

    They look awfully close to me. I have the Super Parts set, even though I don’t own a 171, specifically for the missiles.

    Boeing did a crap job with the single(!) prototype and also did a crap job selling it. Lockheed had two prototypes that wouldn’t need a whole lot of redesign and completed the flight test programs with some extra activities thrown in.

    Very nice! I’ll be collecting these.

    I was about to say... VF-5? Cheap? Intended for export? Kawamori’s an airplane nerd? Look no further than a transformable Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighter. F-20 Tigershark if you’re feeling it.

    Nice model! Don’t think I’ll pick one up though, too much other stuff to get.

    Inbit your punnish tongues, please!

    The mini-series has become the series.

    @MommarI do, just some other stuff has occupied my attention (and money!)

    It’s a shot glass. It’s either full or empty. Anything else, someone isn’t trying hard enough.
  19. Sildani
    Correct. The right answer. Some other stuff.

    Oh, we’re showing pics of our obsessions, are we?

    I like that Psylocke.

    Hey, to be fair, the Russian Navy isn’t exactly in the best shape right now... Gotta say that the Troops poster reminds me of why I like the MiG-29 so much. From certain angles it really looks the business!
