M'Kyuun Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Having worked on older aircraft in the Air Force (tankers built in the 50s and MC-130s built in the 60s), it's always impressive how well these old birds have outperformed their life expectancies, sometimes by decades, with decades of planned service ahead of them. Somehow, I don't think we'll get the same performance from stuff like the F-22 and F-35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow, I don't think we'll get the same performance from stuff like the F-22 and F-35. I don't either, especially the F-35. The more complex and electronic they make these fighters, the worse they're gonna age. Given the F-35's very poor developmental record, the myriad ad-hoc fixes and the continual issues it's had (many given it's "multi-use" initial purpose), that one's going to be a veritable nightmare for some time to come.

Valkyrie Hunter D Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Nicely staged and lit! I was really hoping Aoshima would've given Blue Thunder the same treatment, but they opted for a model kit instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Aoshima didn't give a diecast treatment to Blue Thunder, thankfully Organic did, although the scale was quite different. I instead wished Aoshima would have given us a diecast HX1, which I consider to be Airwolf's true rival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
