Nice build! I actually have one in the stash, just waiting to get around to it.

I wasn't sure so I looked up a few photos and they don't really seem to have darkened panel lines, and in fact it's almost the opposite - pain peels around the panels and more metal shows through This is a great photo I found, and I think it shows the kind of weathering that they generally have:

Wow, looks cool! Are you going to 3D print it?

Quoting you just so you get a notification of the link I posted, since it may not last long. https://www.amazon.com/Hasegawa-36117-48-Aircraft-Weapons/dp/B004GUTDMQ ebay seems to have some available too, but I don't know how this pricing rates on any of them: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=1%2F48+hasegawa+weapons+e&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_odkw=1%2F48+hasegawa+weapons&_osacat=0

Theoretically, there is one in stock through this Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Hasegawa-36117-48-Aircraft-Weapons/dp/B004GUTDMQ

Yes, really good work correcting all of the issues with that kit - it looks great! And adding one more release to your list, Round 2 has it now, and they have made some improvements, including to the Darth Vader figure, but it still has many of the same original issues you had to fix.

Wow, really nice work, looks great!

Yes, two posts up 👍 🙂

F-35B pilot forced to test out the zero-zero ejection seat. No definitive word on the pilot as of yet, but hoping they're OK: https://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-marine-corps/2022/12/15/pilot-ejects-after-f-35b-crashes-on-texas-runway/

Yes, looks like it. They added a link to buying a gaming chair, or at least that's what they said it was, I didn't follow the link.

Aaaand...there it is.

I get the feeling a spam edit adding a link is coming...

Back on the B-21, I thought this had some interesting insights and speculation about it:

I found one reference that said 4:30pm PST/7:30pm EST

OK, so just to be clear then, you're saying that Craig Hutain, flying the P-63, had no business being in a cockpit, and way more money and ego than brains, correct? And do we need to add Captain Terry Barker, Captain Len Root, Major Curtis Rowe, Kevin Michels and Dan Ragan from the B-1 to that as well? You know their abilities and and can make that as a factual statement?
