Mstor Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 It may slow down a bit, but once the kit is released you'll really see the hair flying here. Oh what fun it shall be. Let us just try to play nice and we can all have a jolly good time, i.e. the hair flying should be your own and self inflicted. If you don't I will be forced to subject you to more encabulator technical descriptions. These and The Holy Grail are guaranteed to halt all rational thought in its tracks.

DIO Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Interestingly the same people that kept coming back with the same "errors" again and again, have this time spent almost 2 pages trying to ridicule the whole thing, making practically unreadable for any newcomers. Niiiice... Keep on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This goes much beyond my ability to understand the English language, while being a rather mediocre non native English speaker... (Usually in such situations I smile politely... And everyone that knows me understands that I don't have a clue...) Edited August 24, 2019 by DIO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(Usually in such situations I smile politely... And everyone tat know me understand that I don't have a clue...) Sorry Dio. The Encabulator was a fictitious device first written about in 1944 by a British graduate student. Later GE wrote a technical data sheet which they actually inserted into one of their manuals. Since then there have been a few video spoofs that had actors describing the encabulator using much of the techno babble from the original description written back in '44. Here's the original video done by General Motors (I think): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac7G7xOG2Ag One done by Chrysler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXW0bx_Ooq4 And the Retro Encacbulator done by Rockwell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXJKdh1KZ0w There have been a few other videos, notably a Micro Encabulator. All with an actor describing the device very straight faced and using an incredible amount of nonsensical technobabble. Here's a transcript of the Rockwell video's script: http://www.flobee.net/re_transcript.html Edit: I found another one that is really good.

FASTEAGLE107 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Read on the FB AMK Group : Free ordnance set is only for those preorder before december 2017 and paid in advance. I paid un advanced since May 2018 at HobbyEasy and still no more information about the delevery date. Is there someone here have the same « customer experience »?

Thanks The old Squadron Walkaround is pretty good, but does not cover modern B and D very well due to the time it was published. I don't think you can beat the DACO book tbh.

The decals for weapons are provided so it’s a pretty good bet they’ll be included. What concerns me, however, is the lack of decals for the LANTIRN and TARPS pods are a sign that they may not be included. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought we'd be getting the weapons set. There was someone who said he spoke to Hobby Easy and they confirmed this but stated there was a cut off number of sets that would be available. Now its only those that ordered before Dec 2017 and paid in advance. I've seen a lot of pics that showed a bunch of sprues, including weapons sprues, but nothing that definitively stated that weapons would be included, much less which weapons. Until I see the actual contents of a boxed kit, I'm a little leery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
