I only just heard about it from your article and the recent buzz within the past week or so. I am very curious about it but the big disappointment is the single seat set up. I still have 5 other O.G. (Orig. Gangsta) Skystrikers that I bought 3 years ago from E-bay- I am actually considering doing another one soon. I have burned all the construction photos of the both the Striker and the Flanker on CDs and was looking at them the other night. I have been caught up in the airsoft community and travelling so I havent done any customs in almost a year or so. When is the tentative release date for the new Skystriker? I might drop by Target or TRU for a look.
Let me check my stock...I have them in boxes on a shelf...the ones I have are the ginormous ones...I think 1/48... the VF-0 I have I think is 1/60th... I'll have to get back to you. I also saw a Stealth edition one of a VF-1 with full kit in some downtown store in Seattle. I am thinking of getting it once I find the place again...its in Chinatown...pretty sick man. I'll give you my report in a bit - Rob
Hey have you bought any of the V2 1/60 VF-1's? They are superb toys(aside from the shoulder issues that plagued some of the earlier releases).
I got my hands on VF-0's this year, and man they are cool but the V2 1/60 VF-1's definitely make them feel dated. Yamato moves QUICK. I worry that the VF-0 shoulders will ultimately loosen over time(I have the reissues which are fine, but the shoulders have the rubber caps that the 1/48 VF-1's have, and those wear out over time).
Shin...I just notice something real weird... check out the SU-27 thread again... look at the photos. Does it say something like "Exceeded Bandwith?" with no image? And yes, thanks for posting the article man! Oh yeah, did you see the Helicopter I put up last week? - Talk soon bro - Rob
Hey Shin... I wanted to give you a heads up. I anonymously posted the pics of the plane on SSHQ. I wanted it to stay anonymous. Shhhhh!! Disavow any knowledge about this ;) By the way, Tell me about that radome you need to make. I may have ideas.
