    Thanks @Thom, yeah those decals do wonders for this fighter. I kind of went the Bandai DX route and added a few extra decals like all of the NO STEP, refueling and other little markings for that added effect, otherwise this YF-23 is from the days of the ATF competition, the Black widow Hourglass is underneath as well.

    @MechTech Matte finish my friend, Matte finish.

    Thanks @derex3592 down the road if I ever make another YF-23 or anything 1/48 I truly have a ton of options. The company that makes these decals, I highly recommend them, they are really good quality, they go on smooth, no cracking or tearing & were worth the price tag. As for pilots and keeping a fighter with the gear up or down, yeah, it's a bit frustrating. With this YF-23 kit the rear landing gear doors fit flush while the front gear doors do no not (You'd have to do surgery for it to work), best example ever for me with having both options were the Moebius Galactica Vipers... we need more kits like that, not to mention the detailed resin pilots.

    Just one of the many & possibly great moments of Sci-Fi right there, seeing the Galactica jumping into the atmosphere was completely unexpected and one coolest scene's ever in this series, which is saying a lot because this BSG series had tons of exciting & breathtaking moments/scenes.

    Looking good everyone, so many great projects going on here! 😎👍 @nightmareB4macross the mods on that 1/55 is breathtaking! As for me, my decals have arrived!!

    If the plan is to do a Reboot of Galactica making a run for Earth after the destruction of the colonies, I'd be on board for a completely updated version of the original series, and for the record I was born in 1976 but watched the reruns as a kid until I was blue in the face, it would be cool to see that version of the story explored since it never really got proper a chance to be developed the first time around. This time we need a fully functioning staff & a hefty budget, both of which didn't exist with NBC in 1979. As for Starbuck being a guy or a gal, that doesn't matter to me as long the character is well written, thought out and a top-notch actor is hired. (Yeah, I know, that's asking for a lot.)

    It looks like this is becoming a reality now. Hopefully it's not another re-telling of the Original & RDM series. Battlestar Galactica Reboot Gets Exciting Update As New Showrunner Is Hired (screenrant.com)

    I will say that the 1/1 Scale B-17's they built (2 of them) look very convincing for all of the ground crew/maintenance scenes, I'm still iffy about the CGI, it looks a bit off to me but in 11 days we'll find out if this series was worth the wait, it's pushing 14 years since THE PACIFIC released.

    I'm good with some more TOP GUN but if I have to be honest when it comes to seeing more Air-to-Air combat, honestly, I'd love to see a serious (No Michael Bay crap) live action of the 1980's OVA AREA 88... but that's just me.

    PINK FLOYD + TOP GUN = Pure Satisfaction!!

    Nice!! I really enjoyed season 1, can't wait.
  15. 505thAirborne
    Awesome! I didn't really like Maniac at first but it's a favorite now, they weren't messing around with that album, and it's really paid off for them. Despite what happened to Gfriend, I'm happy for Eunha & the others to be having successful careers.
  16. 505thAirborne
    I was even more shocked because I didn't even have to refresh once, it went straight to my cart, shipping & payment... AmiAmi has truly been my go-to lately. And yes, that lovely lady in my avatar is Eunha. (Gfriend & VIVIZ)
  17. 505thAirborne
    HOLY FRAK!!!! I actually got one through AmiAmi with zero issues, I honestly didn't think I'd have a chance... congrats to those who were able to get one as well.
  18. 505thAirborne
    After seeing BBTS total price, I'll take a last ditched effort try with AmiAmi.
  19. 505thAirborne
    I know Big Bad Toy Store is going to be more expensive but that's looking like my option right now. Last night's PO wasn't light speed but ludicrous speed at selling out.

    @KOG Water Dragon & @wm cheng 1/48 VE-1 1/48 VT-1 1/48 VF-1D 1/72 VF-4 Flashback 1/72 VF-X We should all live so long... come on Hasegawa, do it!!!

    @wm cheng the YF-23 will be one of the ultimate "what ifs" in aviation, while the F-22 can turn on a dime & give you 9 cents change at lower speeds, the Black Widow II minus thrust vectoring with those "Ruddervators" made it super maneuverable & surpassed the YF-22 in just about every other category, including stealth & speed. If the 22 barely shows up on radar just imagine the 23. The Airforce really missed out in not having at least one squadron of these deadly fighters.
  22. 505thAirborne
    That looks amazing, those harnesses/seatbelts look great. So, is this going to be a US Navy Tomcat or an F-14 Persian Cat when you're all finished? Since you mentioned IRAF Pilots.
  23. 505thAirborne
    It's a real shame with the YF-30 for so many reasons, they never did a reissue or any other color schemes. The few times I've had some extra spending cash, I've thought of grabbing a Chronos but damn, even the ones that are yellowed are expensive. On a side note, my Yamato 1/48 Max 1A (DYRL) that never came out of the box... also yellowed, something in the plastic just turns at some point it would seem. And now, back to your regular scheduled discussion about the SV-262.
  24. 505thAirborne
    Oh yeah, the last 4 or 5 I have seen on Mandarake all had some degree of yellowing. If you have one & it hasn't, you're either very lucky or taking really good care of it.
  25. 505thAirborne
    Those look really good, love the mods you made @tekering, now I need to break out my BGC DVD's, nostalgia time! (I'd love to see either Arcadia or Sentinel take a crack at the Motoslaves + figures!) I just saw that there were earthquakes in Japan yesterday, hopefully everyone in your area is ok with no major damage. As a Californian resident for 31 years, I know earthquakes are no joke.
