  1. Just wondered... If this was the first Lancer in USAF inventory, which is obviously the case, then why is the B-1B not called the Lancer II? Like Phantom II, Corsair II and Lightning II? Because they came from different manufacturers?
  2. ...and another Mig-21 The real world naturally imposes its financial limitations so where the manufacturers would get some more creative is a dream world obviously. Anyway, it is what it is. A 1/32 Lancaster is already what we would not even dream about until a few years ago and supposed to be a winner in its category. Apparently many people, including me, thought it was a fresh idea. Next time, hopefully...
  3. Running a modeling business and incurring all the costs of developing a new tool is absolutely hard work/burden to be respected. There's nothing wrong in a manufacturer trying to get most out of existing assets. But it is obvious that the expectations were (and are) different. Welcome to the real world.
  4. Class dismissed! Such a disappointment for us modelers who even for a moment dreamt something fresh and creative was coming. All that mystery for this one?? One of the worst marketing examples. Maybe the company did not push it to be inflated that way and the expectations really took over what was intended, but I hope the people at HK (and any other manufacturer too for that matter) read this thread from the very beginning, every post one by one, to see what the community really wants only to discover how a world apart themselves are in. And reconsider what to offer next...
  5. I do Not only the G variant but C and EB-57B too.
  6. Great build and it is always great to see F-16s in schemes other than gray.
  7. Not an easy build, I know. I had to leave it at some point nowhere near the end. This is a good example not only of the Tiger but perseverence as well.
  8. Good idea... Ok for a simple one but I recommend it should be a good one with a good fit as there are some cheap ones with resin castings no better than a culture-grown mushroom. Ask me how I know
  9. Completely agree, SAT69. Below are two reviews of their Skystreak, one from France and the other from Canada. Not seen a build review yet but I am tempted for a WIP, though I am not a very good builder https://www.facebook.com/pg/X15-1716878451885001/posts/?ref=page_internal https://tr-tr.facebook.com/pg/Joycraft.Scale.Model/posts/
  10. That's what I felt when I saw their Skystreak announcement a few months ago, as I am not so great with resin too. But I couldn't resist when I saw the photos, ordered one, received it a few weeks ago and I can tell you that it's not the resin kit you know! Beautifully designed with gorgeous casting, exquisite 3D printed details and a great package presentation. I've tried a few dry-fits of the nose and it fits perfectly and for some parts you would not tell they are resin if cast in grey. So, I think I will not miss this not-sure-if-will-ever-come-again kit of that Viggen, one of my top aircraft, even in resin.
  11. Very good. Especially the exhausts, the tank and the moving-part effect of the stabilizer
  12. Great factory-fresh Zero, a nice deviation from those all-chipped ones. Not that they look bad, but this one's very good for a change and you've built it great.
  13. Wonderful Viggen and top presentation.
