  1. Something I just noticed - did the 19 always have the cannon on either side of the torso, or was that a modification done to the ADVANCE? Are they cannon at all?
  2. Hey, they both have twin turbines... What about Iron Eagle 3, where that Burt Rutan ARES mudfighter posed as the Messerschmitt 263?
  3. Super/Strike parts hopefully. I'm sure Mr. K knows they'll sell all they make, and it would give a healthy infusion of cash to the company.
  4. Don't forget the VF-1 is festooned with vernier thrusters. If pitch control is needed, one or more of those can always fire and restore control sharpish. I have no doubt they're controlled by the flight control system whether in atmosphere or space.
  5. Did the VF-1 brownies even have different paint schemes between SDF and DYRL?
  6. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa has my vote. He hasn't done a strange character for a while. Ken Watanabe is a good actor, but he might add too much gravitas.
  7. I don't think the Tornado has any equivalents either. Nor the Backfire, Blackjack, or Fencer. I suppose the CG difficulties were overcome in other ways.
  8. That's good to hear. As for Weiss' figure, I'm not sure if I like it or not. I need to think on it. Speaking of Monty, was there ever any idea as to how Dead Fantasy was going to go? Did any of his notes for that story surface? I hate unfinished tales.
  9. I just bought a 30th VF-1A brownie from HKCollectables a couple days ago. Excited to get it, but does anyone know how fast Caju's turnaround time is? I haven't gotten an order confirmation yet.
  10. Overtechnology can have the verniers appear when they're needed and vanish when they're not. Aerodynamics, you know.
  11. The new Camaro uses the Alpha chassis used by the Cadillac ATS and CTS, 70% of which is unique to the Camaro. Not so much Holden in there anymore. That said, I can't fit into the current Camaro - my head hits the roof at about ear level - and I doubt I can fit into the new one. They still subscribe to the "concrete pillbox" school of window sizing, too. I do fit into the new Mustang, but I do so perfectly, with no extra space. It's very, very nice inside. It's such a change from the previous two generations, they actually could've called this one the Probe and it would've made sense. The Challenger is too bloody big. It does look good and sound better, though, and the Hellcat is the most 'Murican car since the original Viper. I think I'm right in saying it's the cheapest 700 horsepower you can buy. And with a factory warranty! But full disclosure: my dream car is a Land Rover, so my opinions on muscle/pony cars are suspect at best.
  12. I miss him too, I never did snag his Deedlit or Pirotess models. Hope he's okay. Between Kurt, Ryuji, and Anasazi, a great amount of splendid talent has been lost to us.
  13. Damn, those 18 inchers were marvels of ballistic engineering. To think, Japan was building stuff like that barely 80 years after the end of the Shogunate. Just remarkable.
  14. You're right to worry. Still, the company seems to have legs since they're also making a cheap external battery pack, and they made a $20 drone that sold out instantly. They're also about to unwrap the OnePlus Two. In my opinion, the company will still be around for a year or two. As you say, the price is excellent for what you're getting. Even if the company dies, you'll still have a properly working phone. Go ahead and get one. I've handled a few, and the build quality and responsiveness of the UI belies its price. You'll be happy.
  15. Messiahs got block numbers as well in their Master File.
  16. The Variable Fighter Master File for the 25 also seems to say it uses its verniers to adjust the airflow around the 25's fuselage, thus making for an active airflow management system. With such a system, the actual aerodynamic merits of the airframe may not matter so much. Besides, it seems your typical Messiah/Lucifer spends 70% of its time in space anyway.
