The Heller is an old kit based on the slightly-smaller-than-production prototype Rafale. The Revell/Revell GMBH is a true-to scale, accurate, and good fitting representation of the production B and M Rafales. The HobbyBoss Rafales are cheap (in quality) knock-offs of the Revell kits. (though are still 'buildable').

Skew the Excalibur, I want the Idolmaster F-2A!
So putting the text block into Yahoo's page translator reveals:
Very much, make wait we have done, new spreading/displaying opening! 1/48 scales first feature “YF-19”, directing late to September sale, presently are the die production under way. Because model total length 388mm, it is the large-sized model which becomes full-width 309.5mm, when taking in the hand, it becomes the preponderant existence impression. As for proportion and detail on the basis of 1/72 while, from the image which raises resolution. The number of parts we have become the eye relatively little, to unite at brief, they are the contents which can do to elaborate to paint. The main wing selective system of normal condition and high-speed form. As for head beam gun and vector nozzle working. As for cockpit with selective system of single seat and double seat, as for canopy opening and closing selective system. The pilot of arrival seat attitude belongs 1 bodies. As for the sensor of nose side the making being packed by the mechanic part of clear part + inside. Furthermore, the weapon bay cover of engine side to another part was converted as an element only of 1/48, the engine and the like inside was carved in the range which is visible. Package illustration the Tenzin English your person who adapts takes charge! Decare has adopted the silk screen decare whose coloration is good.So basically, the wings are movable between noral and high-speed modes, there will be weapons bays, engine detail, the option to build single and twin-seat versions, one pilot figure, multi-piece canopy, plus actual detail under the spots on the nose for the translucent bits.
:D
Plus they're doing another production run of the SV51 Twinbooster and VF-2 VF-1 kits in 1:72.

I like this one! ;) Very inventive concept and it looks nice for that kit.
BTW, you do know the DML/Dragon Su-27 is 1:160 and not 1:144, right?
-
How cool is this? :)
Awesome to the n-th degree!
Does anybody which film the stills at the upper left-hand corner are from?
I have found Lillith Suzaku's second aircraft.
-
Well, I'll be darned! Didn;t notice the size diff when making my Rafle-Winged F-16. Otherwise the Italeri seats are pretty nice. How about Kinetic? Those
seats are pretty good too.
-
OT: Anyone tried out that hobbyboss 1/72 su-47?? thx!
Dunno about HobbyBoss but Italeri/Zevezda/Revell of Germany sold one. Sparse panel line detail, rather rudimentary cockpit and landing gear bays (plus the gear struts themselves are too long) but shapewise very good and the fit is almost perfect.
-
Nope. You will not get better than the Academy Su-27 period. And no go on anything with canards unless you're willing to spend three figures on a SOL resin conversion.
Now, go down to 1:72, and then you have both the Airfix/ICM Su-27, as well as the Heller Su-27UB.
-
Now don't get me wrong, (because you've executed that mech kit beautifully!
) But I never understood the appeal of the Zaku suits over the traditional Gundams/Mobile Suits. -
Here's the problem though, The Trump M and K are both of prototypes that are now obsolete. Neither have been fully developed, let alone sold. The new K, M2, 35, and SMT are what we need.
-
Those have been OOP for a long time IIRC. check eBay, saw a couple very recently.
-
Before we get into near-fantasy planes, could we address the MiG-29 family in 1/48 beyond cockpit/nose/exhaust accessory market? This is the Russian F-16, IMO, and you're choices are an early 'looks like a' MiG-29 and an early 'close to a' MiG-29. No M conversion. A trickle of ordnance. Crimeny! :)
The problem there is that the M would require all new wings, elevons, a new cockpit, new nose, new canopy/windscreen, the part to represent the beavertail, it would even require a new upper-fuselage because of how fundamental the change in spine shape is. You would literally only use about 35% of the kit's plastic, and a conversion that involved is asking for another ATTIC F-16XL IMO. I agree with you 100% about a MiG-29M/K/M2/'new' K/ and MiG-35, but the only way we're seeing one is if a manufacturer does it in plastic.

LOL interesting thread
For the FA-37 kit: Well the kit is in resin, producing the masters and the kits does cost a bit. If you look at the Collect Aires line, a lot of their kits go for over $100. If this one's mass produced (1/72 1/48 or whatever) in injected plastic, you may see it go out for $40 +- a bit depending on the company,etc?
Has there been any hollywood fighter plane type movies that have been accurate? ESPECIALLY the newer CG ones - I don't really think so. Its basically eye candy - and for the guys, not just the planes.
OT: Whats your take on the vf-25, the one from Macross Frontier. Multicolored plastic kits from Bandai to go with it too
I understand Shoji Kawamori's desire to 'get away from stealth designs of current times', but there is no way that aerodynamically the VF-25 would be better than a Sturmvogel II or Excalibur. The design from the standpoint of a spaceplane is good though, multiple maneuvering thrusters, good visibility, and flexible flight controls. As well, seeing an effective melee weapon is cool too. I just think that, like the sv51, the VF-25 seems a bit...spindly, though transformation is slick.
The Bandai 1:72 kit...less impressive. The forward fuselage cannot lock together in GERWALK and some of the proportions are off in Battroid mode as well.
I understand that 90% of the people who saw Stealth were too stupid to see the Talon II and think anything but "Duh-uhh, purrty airplane." but I feel that they should have been the littlest bit believable as combat aircraft. The only thing that they had going for them were the internal weapons racks.

I'd likely come out of it wanting to kick you in the throat,
You didn't already by default?
-
:D !!!
Holy cow those are fantastic! I even thought the last pic was some kind of CGI or something. Really awesome job on those birds man! Now you need to do a Twinbooster vs. Angel diorama.
BTW, you might get more exposure in the Critique Corner. PM SBARC and ask him to move it.
-
But as he's said, he's not building for accuracy, win;t even stick the 'pit in. I agree with ReiRei0, just get a Hasegawa. The thing's practically a snap-tite model the fit is so good and as long as you don't hold it next to a pic of the real thing it's okay.
-
Is it going to be flat black with red hexagons and chevrons all over it? (with Warlock wedged in the front?)
Man, I can't wait for season two. (whether Gonzo Studios makes it an ero anime or not)
-
Someone was talking about making a conversion for Revell's Echo in the original thread in Research Corner, but I think his conversion only got as far as my s/MTD conversion (nowhere).
-
Yes absolutely we need 1/72 wepons, maybe Academy will issue it with Sufa :)
I doubt after the 1:48 F-15K / F-15E OIF kits that they're going to underperform with a 1:72 Sufa.
-
The only happening of a F-14 carrying AMRAAMs is the first six minutes of Macross Zero (youtube Macross Zero F-14 dogfight)
-
Hmmmmm I find myself interested in this too. Who knows what maniacal concepts I could come up with with a Sufa sitting in my stash. Sufa XL? Desert Falcon? I dunno, I'd have to look into it.
How about this?
Take the CFT/Spine from the F-16I, put them on a Monogram XL, cut and splice the twin-place cockpit, and throw on the beefier undercarriage. Don't forget the ECM blisters.
Can't wait for this kit to come out!
-
Just whatever it is you have to build it with a -132 engine. The F-2A's clean T/W is .89. That is YGBSM-ly poor for an 'advanced' F-16 derivative.
though comparing the F-2's profile to the F-16's the F-2 should be more maneuvarable as it has larger tails and overall the wings/LERXs are shifted forward a little.
-
(I forgot who did these profiles but they're not mine)

Fuji, I still had my kit and camera out so I hope this helps:
EDIT: Now the pics are fixed. Sorry about that.
I really want to 'talk' to the individual that eliminated that LANTIRN pod/pylon, looked in the bowl, and thought it would make a good model component.

Hey guys - while finding references I came across this image grat image:
http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/G...XL-2/1445630/L/
May I ask - why is there a GE logo in the engine cover? All my images show the double seater F-16 with the standard PW engine, and that also looks to be the small NSI intake :huh:
Any hints please?
THANKS!
Apparently one XL was modded for 'laminar airflow testing' and the pics show a GE engine fitted.

It's NSFW (no HC, just some nude/risque, and about half is gundam/mecha) but this guy is absolutely fantastic at building models/figurines. Even made some spectacular Macross Jets.
