Artie Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Sidney Camm and Reginald Micthel shall be turning in their graves...... Oh, my God.....What's that ugly device...???????? Is the word "plane" a suitable one for such a flying thing...?????? :weep: Edited January 21, 2014 by Artie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMSLion Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Sidney Camm and Reginald Micthel shall be turning in their graves...... Oh, my God.....What's that ugly device...???????? Is the word "plane" a suitable one for such a flying thing...?????? :weep: I know the F-35 isn't as pretty as a Spitfire, but isn't this a bit over the top? That being said, I still want an accurate MQ-4C, and a RQ-4 Block 10. Lots of options for the latter, you could easily make it a combined ACTD/Block 10 - which means the all-white early ACTD scheme, the "tuxedo" gray/white scheme, the all-gray USAF scheme, the all-gray Navy scheme (with VX-20, Wing 2, and Wing 5 markings), and the NASA paint scheme.

Over the top.....???????? I'm just saying it's a very ugly thing, wich is far from being untruth. :) Even the name is horrible.........Those modern "flying things" use to have the same names you'll find in a PS2 game....and they look like any space ship from Star Treck.. I know it's up to anyone's tastes.....Of course, not to my own taste. Regards.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CockneyCol Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 For waiting it's arrival, to hobby shops soonest! I just love the messed up English on these adverts, Quite fancy the kit, it's more than a little out of the ordinary.

Freedom Models Martin Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Hi Matt, Yes. That's being worked on as we speak. So far, SprueBrothers, HLJ have our model. As soon as I can possibly get the UK and European stockists sorted out, you guys will be the first to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got no issue ordering from any of those places, but when it's just for one kit, can work out a bit pricey on shipping/import duties etc I'll wait to hear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freedom Models Martin Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Freedom Model Kits are now available in the UK. I promised that I would let you know. We are also available in many other European countries. If you need some please do let me know by PM. Cheers Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hit Or Miss Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Needs a buddy store and a couple BRUs worth of SDB-I and II. AARGM would also be nice as the X-47 is one of the few jets with a big enough bay to clear it. Tie down chains and anchor points. Navy weapons loading dollies compatible with the internal bay trapezes. And the guy with the Wii controller on his forearm. Wouldn't mind seeing a set of landing gear (and a post hole in the jet for a stand) that allowed us to mimic that moment, -just before- the touch down, when everything is sort've hanging. It's unfortunate that everything now being chatted up by the Navy about the UCLASS RFP is for a scaled version of the above as a CSA equivalent rather than the cruise missile with landing gear it is clearly LO-optimized to be.
