IAGeezer Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I saw(on Cybermodeller I think) that they were re-releasing this kit in November, and haven't seen anything else on it. Anyone have any news on it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 It should be coming soon. I got to build the model for the box art. I'm also getting ready with ACS coamings and ECS pipes, since the Revell kit doesn't have them. I'm toying with the idea of dropped flaps as well, but I need to see what's involved.

airmechaja Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I believe the re-release date was changed to December sometime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I made myself half nuts dropping flaps on the Testors sedan. Don't laugh, it was paid for! PS. Can't wait to see the box art. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jeff I'm still not sure I like that scheme. For those who don't know, it's VX-23's new scheme. It's VERY colorful! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

graves_09 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 That VX 23 scheme was the outcome of a squadron contest the CO ran a few years back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eraucubsfan Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I might be biased but I actually like it, and for the record it looks better in real life than it does in those pictures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have a problem with the shade of blue; the black/yellow trim on the fins and the red/white pattern on the spine are just don't work IMO. There's just too much going on in that scheme, it's too busy. The idea was to incorporate the Maryland state flag into the scheme. I don't think the MD state flag colors work with the blue.
