John Here are the best drawings i could find for the F-15. The F-16 is not so good though...i will need to scan one. Good F-18 drawings are hard to find. I will scan it too.

Dave

I think Dragon wings but what brand are you building ?

Dave

That is quite an impressive collection you got there. What is that small t-tail plane near the Delta MD-11 ? Is it an Fokker F-28 ?

How long it took you to build one of this things ?

I check out the 1/72 747 kit..it seems to use decals for the windshield and windows....i was hoping for clear part like those Airfix kits.

Dave Hintgen

1. KC-135:

Well...i would prefer to build the TF33 powered versions...big fan CFM model just looks weird to me.

Are there any 1/72 scale 747 kits outthere ?

2. You have 150 1/400 jetliners ?!!!

Any 737s in that collection...i am a big fan of the classic JT8D versions.

3. Chrome platting ? I have never chrome platted any kits before but aren't those like natural metal finish we see on some fighters ?

Maybe Milia is just so good she can single handedly wipe out an entire fleet like Amuro Ray or Char Aznable.

But really how good are the rest of the Meltran ?

Check out the size of this 1/48 C-130 model against the Su-27 behind it.

Not sure whether this has been posted before.

Lets say both sides have equal amount of ships and mecha. No micronians involved.

I am not sure about the Meltran using Regults though but it can't be all Q-Rau based.

Dave

I noticed you mentioned 1/400 Airliners...but those i saw on your pics look at least 1/200.

Anyway what do you think of the Hasegawa 1/200 line ?I am looking for a USAF large jet series(CT-43, AF1, KC-135.etc)

MiM-31 Karyobin(what the hell is that ?), cannon fodder of the F-203 Dragon.

It is supposed to be an aircraft that can fulfill the role of the MiG-29 and Su-25. Think the gun is an anti-tank weapon.

I think it did carry missiles only that it was not really shown in detail.

A macross mini series showing the early life of Roy Focker would be good to unleash this cat.

If DYRL is a movie like Saving Private Ryan or Pearl Harbour then who played Hayao and Roy ?

Did the VF-1X upgrade included smaller hands as part of the material and engine upgrades...perhaps the older ones always jammed during operations.

I seen the ending before..but my copy has expired

If you fired at Gilliam..you don't get to see tombstone part but i am not sure(don't recall) if you see the credits rolling.

If you allied with Gilliam you see the credits, hear the hummingbird song "Shot and Shout" and see the tombstone of Maj Angreat.

ok...never mind i think its still in progress.

Took a quick hoop to the old board and noticed a lot of people placing orders for these 2 items but i don't see any completed specimens at the Tanmen gallery. So Yoshiharu did not placed them into production did he ?

John

The VF-1R appeared in the blasmpermy videogame Robotech: Battlecry but is not macross. It is supposed to be the ultimate robotech valkyrie.

hey...i didn't know you had the Tanmen Dragon II kit ?

Looks close though.

I am sure you must have seen this....its really poor too.

WM model guru

I think your cockpit is just as good as the YF-19 one. I was hoping that you make that hinge thing o you can have it both ways.

btw

Is Mr.Surfacer also your primer ?

And how did you avoid fingerprints so well ?

WM Cheng

Nice buildup...lookin good

1. Is MR.Surfacer a good alternative to putty ?I am assume you are using the bottled version.

2. Did you use liquid mask for the cockpit area ?

Thanks for the step by step

wow....you guys are really good. How did you do clean it up ?

Tutorial ?

About the SR-71 name thing....

You know its said that it could be a press problem rather than the President miscalling the RS-71. He may have pronouced it correctly as the SR-71 but the press somehow misquoted the president and called it the RS-71 and that's how the confusion came about.

Its been a while since a watch the shows but

Roy Focker:

1. VF-1S

2. Biplane

3. F-203 Dragon II

4. Air Racer(don't recall)

Is it Colonel Johnson, Colonel Johnathan Wolfe, Major Jones or Lieutenant Johnathan ?

But Hikaru did not retain the Skull right ?It was eventually badly damaged by Max.....

Still Roy didn't have to die...i would have loved to see him live but never to fly again like some desk officer or the invitro colonel in "space above and beyond". You know like those good western productions where the good guys never die.

He died differently in the tv compared with the DYRL one. Maybe DYRL wanted to make him look more "heroic" but why did he had to bleed to death ?

A Tomcat deserves to be made at 1/48 scale...the detail will make it worth it. I don't care much for tranformation as i seldom play with my toys anyway. But then again i prefer Hasegawa to release MacZero planes in 1/48 like the Karyobin and MiG-29.

Robotechhies buy Yamatos ?!So they made their own custom Rick Hunter, Ben Dickson and Max Sterling stickers ehhh

Maybe Max had alot of sim-time in Falcon 4 and Strike Fighters Project 1
