  1. Seen it a more than a couple of times. Was quite OK IMO. Had Gary Busey and Bill Paxton in it. The chick is the one from Arnold's Running man.

    As for the skulls i can only think they come from other franchises done by the company that made Predator.

  2. HWR MKII

    I seen the bootleg version of this Leopard II R/C. Comes prepainted though. I would assume there is a Japanese Type 90 R/C of the same scale as well as well.

  3. Looked like Akt_m used oil pastels to color them. :ph34r: Reminds me of the one Beware of Blast did a couple of years ago.

    I think Shin is asking about the software.

    Need you to take a look into your magic bag of images again.

    Do you have any straight on top/side/bottom views for the Dragon II air superiority fighter or the FL-200 ?

    Thanks

  5. I guess they may be some political arm twisting again since the RSAF is mostly US made or the F-15T is not some watered down Mudhen like the pathetic F-15S for the Saudis.

    Should it win the F-15 would be the most expensive plane ever operated by the Singaporeans. Not sure about engine choice yet but i guess it would be the latest F100 since RSAF doesn't have any F110s.

    Rafale while certainly not cheap either is of more recent vintage than the F-15 though it would end up being cheaper to run...though the French spare parts and weapons are damn expensive. I am sure Peru and other smaller Dassault delta operators would testify to that. Another thing is that almost all Rafale strike configurations include one of those large drop tanks..though the F-16 and 18 is little different.

    Wished the EF2000 stayed in the running. At least it offered something different.

    F-15T for Taiwan ?More like F-15F (Formosa) if they ever get interested. T from what i read stands for Timasek=Singapore.

  6. Interesting trivia i found about the Deuce 102 Delta Dagger.

    "The F-102 was deployed to Southeast Asia beginning in 1962, and as American involvement in Vietnam grew, the Deuce took part in missions which included escort for B-52's, ready alert duty at bases in South Vietnam, and then later during Operation Stove Pipe, the F-102's 24 2.75-inch (70-mm) FFAR's were put to use against targets on the Ho Chi Minh trail. F-102's and TF-102's would fly at night along the trail and try to pinpoint targets using their IR seekers and then attack potential targets (including campfires and warm truck engines) using the IR-guided AIM-4 Falcon as well as their 70-mm rockets. TF-102's were also used as fast-FAC aircraft, using their rockets to mark targets for incoming fighter bombers. The F-102 was also used on CAP duty as well. "

    So 102s can use their belly mounted rocket packs for A-G as well...that's something seldom heard of in most books.
