Monogram has a very nice (for a 69 kit) model. The only other option would be converting Ertl/AMT B-52G/H for an early model.

Exactly, but not with those words, of course. Would be something in the line "...regional partnership and the economical growth of our friends..."

Gripen NG's will be assembled at Embraer's factory at Gavião Peixoto, the same one that builds AT-29s

Older Tamiya decals "don't like" at all Microsol. They wrinkle badly and never level again after the alcohol evaporates. You can try to press the wrinkled decal with a moist cotton bud, it gives mixed results, but the best solution would be to remove the affected decals and apply a new one. More recent Tamiya decals don't behave that badly with MicroSol, in fact, recently Tamiya began marketing it's own decals solvent (I haven't tried and can't comment).

Afterburner Decals' long OOP 48-055 (missiles & targeting pods) and 48-056 are another two examples Kinetic 1/48th F-16s have pretty extensive weapons stencils decals, as Academy's Phantoms

F-4EJ (Japan) has slotted stabs and hard wings. F-4F (Germany) has unslotted stabs and slatted wings

They have also a FW-189 and THE most accurates Mig-29 and F-15s. So, your guess is just good than ours. But they definitelly are not just replicating slightly improved Monogram kits

Unless price is the only concern, stay away from this beast. Tipical early 70s fit, with equally typical 70s detail, raised panel lines and off-shapes in places, specially canopy and nose intake. If you want a wrongly shaped kit that can be turned in a nice model, stay with HB kit. Otherwise, choose the Hasegawa kit

Trying to keep the thread alive until 14/07

This is old news. Next Thursday, The Clash of Giants, Brazil (5 world cups) and Germany (3 world cups and the record of being amongst the best four). We lost our best player with a back injury and our captain is suspended from the match.

Tomorrow we will beat Colombia 2x0 in regular time. I don't have the slightest idea who will win Germany x France

Unless this image is Photoshoped, I don't see how it can be a hand

The referee nulled a rightly assigned goal and didn't give us a penal in the begining of the match. However, Chile played much better than we thought they could. And the penal conversions from both sides were plainly mediocre. Colombia played much better than Uruguay. Unless brazilian coach changes A LOT OF THINGS, I don't see how we can beat them next saturday. :crying2: :crying2:

I have the Airfix Seafire Mk XVII. It's a very nice kit, with very nice decals (by Cartograph). IMHO, they are the best Griphon engined 1/48th model kits

Another thing about Suarez. No one is talking about how nice was Uruguay's game, a 3 milion people country that eliminated not one, but two world champions, playing high profile football. That Italy (and England) deservedly lost the game, because its opponet was better. Uruguay is quickly losing all the sympathy from brazilians because of the bite I predict a tie. It's a good result for both teams. And Germany has a long history of getting the exact results that gave them an easier path. The most famous off them was the 74 Cup East Germany x West Germany game, that West Germany lost just to

Perhaps I should apologize. English is not my first language. I assumed banning a player meant never again playing professional football. Probably FIFA will suspend Suarez for something like 2 or 3 matches for bitting, something that means no more 2014 World Cup for him, no matter what Uruguay achieves. Just to remember, with Suarez, Uruguay won Colombia for 2x0, without him (it was the last of the 4 matches he was suspended for the penalty in 2010 World Cup semifinals) Uruguay lost 4x0. He is THE best Uruguaian player.

Rugby and football were invented at almost the same time. Since then, any 3 year old kid can say wich one is more atractive

Although I'm really trying to understand WHY he did that, there are no rules for banning a player from football. And no Uruguay game is really an Uruguaian game without high doses of drama.

Germany showed its claws. As Michel Platini said once "Everyone knows how to play football. Germany knows how to win"

Not only the goal. Bosnia did a fatal move giving him liberty to play in the second half. Argentina didn't score a bigger difference purely by its own mistakes at the final kick and not for any Bosnian qualities. Must not be forgotten the easily defensible goal the argentinian goalkeeper accepted.

England x Italy: THE BEST GAME till now, by far! Two teams that knew what they were doing. Someone has to win... Holland x Spain: The most disapointing game till now. A very one sided game for supposed even matched teams Japan x Ivory Coast: The worst game till now. Two teams that don't deserve to be in a worldwide football event.

What's the problem Fifa has with national anthems? They gave us a great boost before games by cutting half of our anthem, saying it's too long. Of course, the croud is singing the other half. One can imagine the spirit with 60 thousand people chanting the anthem. Now, they did the same with Chilean anthem, and the cowd did the same, singing the rest

Last year, we've beaten the allmighty Spain last Federation's Cup for 3x0 in the finals, showing them how to play. I'm mostly concerned with the next phase (Round of 16), when Brazil would get Spain or our long time rivals, the Netherlands. Any of them would be very tough to be beaten. THE game for be watched tomorrow: Spain x Netherlands! I predict a draw

Neither are we <_< World Cup 2014
