electric indigo Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Where did you comandeer the landing gear?you put a shroud/radar on.. LOOks good... The back landing gear is the one from the kit, front is from Bandai's Falken, the wheels are from the 1/100 Rafe/Mave EX kits. I usually build my planes gear up, but the helos sit nicely on the ground. -i- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy007 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 That Patlabor helicoptor is a must own. has anyone heard anything about kits of the dropships/gunships from Ghost in the shell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electric indigo Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Hobbysearch has pic of the Hellhound up >clicky< Surface detail is not too great, and I think they did a rather boring paintjob on the demo kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetarB Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Surface detail is not too great, and I think they did a rather boring paintjob on the demo kit. Boring as hell. Do they not have a marketing department to tell them these things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowie165 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Wow, that looks a lot like a Cheyenne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly4victory Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 (edited) I was wondering when we were going to see any news. Great find. The folding wing stores and rotor system are nice. Bad choice of colors to highlight a new product. If the model really is lacking detail as opposed to hidden by the paint job... Kotobukiya will have set the modeling industry back about 25 years... but then that is true to the period the anime was made and I guess the line art. I will still be buying a couple of them. Wonder if they will continue the helicopter trend or will they produce the "improved" F-15 and F-16 from Patlabor? Edit: Here are some more pictures and better lighting to see the detail. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10066083 Edited December 16, 2007 by Fly4victory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechTech Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Thanks for posting that link. I think I know where some of my Christmas money may go. That IR measure looks like the "disco ball" without good coloring/effect (it matches the rest of the scheme). - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellohikaru Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Color(or lack of) is deliberate to show craft details better. Looks cool and silly at the same time. Cant think how the thing sits on the ground with a landing gear design like that and the crew will need extra long ladders just to board.
