  1. It may not be a toy, but it is certainly a target.
  2. Thank you for the update Ran, looking forward to the release.👍
  3. Are there any good sites that can ship it internationally? I looked into it a few months back and didnt have much luck finding anything online that would ship it for a decent shipping price. My only bottle which i had for a very long time has gone bad (basically doesnt dry) and i havent found anything locally at all.
  4. Today i learned i don't live in a real country. Apparently a country that is about as long as it is from San Diego to Houston is not a real country and must be fake news. And our surface area is almost as large as California, which must make California a fake state. Or us Europeans traveling to European countries never ever happens either. It is almost as if we are a continent with free and open borders or something. Average number of cars in American family is 2. It is entirely possible for an average family to have an EV and an ICE. Besides, just like vast m
  5. Ah interesting, so there is a logic behind it - just for the dark arts of software. 😅
  6. Great stuff. 👍 While you are taking in requests for the site functions Raymond, could the scale drop down list be reworked? It has always been a really strange one for me and there is no clear cut logic to it. I see that it is grouped after 1/[First Number] but there is no chronological order within the groups. For example the first group is 1/100 (small, unusual scale), 1/12 (BIG scale) , 1/144 (tiny scale) , 1/16 (big scale again). Why not 1/12, 1/16, 1/100 and 1/144 order for example? Would also be useful to have checkmarks instead of a single choice on the Category too. For exa
  7. Depends. Some are just "peak shaving" ICE to keep it at optimal efficiency, some are plug in hybrids and are able to drive on electric only.
  8. 😛 You mean people like people that actually own and use Tesla's (including a friend of mine, and plenty of coworkers, and i live in Norway, generally speaking a cold place) and an owner that already said the loss is around 20%; Mine 25% was based upon data i have seen prior + some extra percentages. With some planning and preheating it should be significantly less than 20%, just like BaconRaygun has said. So indeed, they beg to differ, with you. As to "steep inclines", that is basic physics and those apply to ICE too. Unlike ICE, EV's can recoup a lot of en
  9. Mildly ironic statement. You are seeing "pitfalls" that don't exists (CFL vs incandescent) and long tailpipe because you are (were?) uninformed. There is nothing wrong with being uninformed (i am ignorant about one million things), there is however something wrong making assumptions and statements based upon lack of knowledge however.
  10. 1; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_fluorescent_lamp#Mercury_content 2; If it bothers you that much (which i highly doubt tbh), just use LED's then.
  11. This is the long dead myth of "long tailpipe". If you took an average coal plant and used to charge your EV, it would still be more efficient and cleaner than the vast majority of cars. And the grid, even in US and China, is far cleaner than just pure coal plants. Otherwise; 1; https://blog.ucsusa.org/dave-reichmuth/new-data-show-electric-vehicles-continue-to-get-cleaner 2; https://www.ucsusa.org/clean-vehicles/electric-vehicles/ev-emissions-tool?_ga=2.47602990.809256624.1553200539-1853582052.1553200539 Now i am expecting "But the batteries man, the batterie
  12. It does not. Atleast not EV's with an active warming/cooling system on the battery like Tesla's have. Ie if the battery is preheated before a trip (which can be done automatically and while plugged in based on time) the loses beyond that shouldn't be more than 25% or so. And that kind of loses happen with ICE too obviously. Now, LEAF's and smaller cars that dont have any kind of active warming/cooling system at all is a different story. But trend with newer cars is to have that system, it is extremely important for battery degradation too. Fool cells are terrible terrible
  13. 35k Model 3 is already available for purchase, delivery for the first customers is happening in a few weeks i believe. The standard range plus (at slightly more, 37k) have already been delivered to customers i think.
  14. As in a test build or sprue shots?
  15. Stunning build, looks perfect in terms of colors and weathering. Nice execution of the magnetic nosecone too, i have been toying with a similar idea myself but havent done it on a build yet. The Photobucket watermark though, my god.
  16. I have been interested in seeing how this kit looks when finished and this is the first one i have seen. Sounds like overall the kit is sound (based upon Modelsvit 1/72 design i believe), but with a really crude molding quality requiring a lot of work. Nice job on the model.👍 Will be interesting if their 1/144 B-2 will be slightly better in terms of quality...
  17. The ECM pods are on the wingtips... I believe the things on the underside of the intakes are training equipment to simulate electro-optical TV-guided bombs.
  18. Unique collection you have there, well done build.👍
  19. They have had pretty remarkable quality pretty much since the start but the most recent Su-17 family and T-10-10 (-11) have just been on another level. Probably going to pick up an F-13 too. Hopefully they include some Perkele edition decals in the boxing.
  20. Oh damn, i remember the announcement but didnt realize it was released! Need to hunt one down.
  21. I still think that looks better and more accurate than the HB 1/48 YF-23 kit.

    Yes, they used both.
