ReiRei0 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) So I was at my LHS yesterday, and found a 1/48 Classic Airframes A5M4 Claude twin-seater on their 50% off sale table. And I bought it. So here's the thing - the Claude (and the Akagi) recently made some guest appearances in the anime Strike Witches. Note the crescent moon insignias.... So what do you think: Cool idea, or desecration of perfectly good plastic? Edited June 25, 2009 by ReiRei0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So what do you think: Cool idea, or desecration of perfectly good plastic? Do it, but only if you include Commander Sakamoto and Sergeant Miyafuji. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReiRei0 Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) One of these? Edited June 24, 2009 by ReiRei0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sv51macross Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 One of these? I was thinking resin figures but those look cool as well. Not some of them though. Luccini was a child in every sense of the word. Perrine was a bit**.Yeager was...well, I don't like her 'cause she's waaaay too chesty. Bishop defined the term talentless airhead. Go ahead and include Barkhorn and Hartmann, they both peg the Moe-Meter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aerodrew Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 A mirrored display base works well here: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aerodrew Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Nope not mine, but I found this to be funny: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sv51macross Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Yeah, the Luftwaffe women were my favorite (along with Mio Sakamoto). Erica gave me a total Moegasm, and I wanted to be 'Trude's best friend.As soon as Minna put on that red dress she was my waifu. Mio, well, she looks like the kind of person you can have fun with no matter the situation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
illithid00 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 One of these? ...What's with the animal ears and why don't they have very visible noses? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sv51macross Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 ...What's with the animal ears and why don't they have very visible noses? 1). Read 2). It;s anime...waht do you expect? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReiRei0 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 A mirrored display base works well here: So I'm guessing that in this case, P-51 stands for "Pantsu-51". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sv51macross Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) So I'm guessing that in this case, P-51 stands for "Pantsu-51". And I only just now saw that the mirror gives Sherry's upskirt. Seriously, though, this gives me some fantastic ideas for model decals. I might even do something for my F-14EJ Kai. Edited June 25, 2009 by sv51macross Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReiRei0 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 I'm going to be on a modeling halt for summer, but when I get back, we should do a "Strike Witches" mini group build :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

illithid00 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 1). Read2). It;s anime...waht do you expect? And I thought playing Dungeons & Dragons was weird... Interesting concept, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
