    Those colors would make anything look good. Nice job.

    Awesome work on a nice kit. Did I miss the WIP on this?
  3. Robertone139
    Thanks for a most definitive guide to the current crop of kits. Thanks to all
  4. Robertone139
    Yes, of course

    Italeri, Revell? But which boxing?
  6. Robertone139
    I have Dragon's kit and apparently a later Zvezda mold plus a scattering of Italeri's dark green parts. My reference is IAPWR with an in depth article on the Ka-50/52. Apparently also Amodel had their own Ka-52 at one point. The Ka-50Sh boxing looks attractive and I would need a mod set for the actual Ka-52 bought by the Russian Navy.

    Yep. True.

    Italeri, Revell (likely a rebox of someone else's product), Zvezda and Hobby Boss all made the Hokum in 1/72 scale (let's not consider ESCI/ERTL early release) and I know that Zvezda boxed at least two different versions. So which one is best? Thanks all.

    Awesome news, I remember they were selling off 10 or 11 years ago when I had to move to NJ. I still have all their large plasticard sheets.

    I think I remember 72modeler at the Modelfiestas in San Antonio. Dibbles was the last to close.

    I'll take the blonde!

    Anyone has a few 1/72 spare ones? 9 ALARMs (or even "just" 7 with tanks) vs only 4 HARMs, the choice is simple.

    It seems that poth recip and turbine coversions are present in the sprues already. Panel lines are a bit softer but detail is nice, even in the cockpit. We are going to have to consider the price point difference...

    9 alarms 9 Alarms 2

    This good enough? http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f0sHQ9Mq5GA/T7piTMHrFSI/AAAAAAAAA2Q/syjY5hsGp6I/s1600/ALARM+-+self+escort.jpg

    Correct, the inner weapons bays doors only open at about 0 zero ground speed when the aircraft is about to hover. The give away is the completely vertical position of the exhaust nozzle. In this case it is not yet vertical giving a forward component of thrust.

    I woder if you can still look straight into the intake at the compressor first stage, that would be a big stealth denial feature.
  18. Robertone139
    Only the inner doors of the weapons bays open for STOVL operations.
  19. Robertone139
    No photos yet of the actual sprues?
  20. Robertone139
    So, what is the perspective wallet damage for this one?
  21. Robertone139
    That first boxtop is suspiciously similar to one of Fujimi's special editions.
  22. Robertone139
    Already on eBay, seems slightly more affordable than the Dream Models kit, but not a trace of the sprues themselves.
  23. Robertone139
    You can run, but you'll only die tired
  24. Robertone139
    Not for the latest helmets styles.
  25. Robertone139
    I believe that Sword released a very nice T-38 in 1/72 scale
