lawa woo limfreelance

here's a tip... take 3/4 shot from a 25 degree angle above the front of the starboard side. i think that's her best side

by the way, strikermac, your model paintjob also feels powdery or not? anyway... here's possibly the worst ever f14 72 scale ever made:

panel line by 1 year old kid.. huhu.. lucky for us our swordsmen not like this..

Ya... something like that, powdery is true.
When I put all my aircraft together that F-14A juz won't interest me at all.
Even the EM model is better a bit. And sure GainCorp model and HM is better than.
But BTW juz this F-14A Swordsmen is a NG, others like CVN and BattleShip was Good.

*Edit:
Example from FlyingMule FOV F-14A Swordsmen. They also didn't want to take close-up pic.

yup... that's about the best angle to snap that swordsmen, although i would prefer a slightly lower angle. anyway, in all fairness, their f/a18 super hornets are pretty good too...

Can have a try if need. But I already have GainCorp F/A-18F so won't have another one.

Here flyingmule photo example close-up, sure is better than the F-14 Swordsmen.



Even the F-15 quality is acceptable.

this 1?

FOV F15 has a flaw.. it doesnt have the gun port..

Is that also FOV model? or other brand?

FOV.. 2 F-18F from fov

actually if you observe flying mule's site closely, you would notice in pic 5, the screw cover inside the port side air intake is missing and the lousy paint job is most evident in pic 6: 1. jagged sidewinder fins; 2. crack (?) between the dorsal fin and fuselage; 3. smudged aircraft registration; and 4. uneven tailfin.

with regard to the f15, comrade deathsoul is right... fov f15 has no gun port. and another thing, my model had the upper and lower portion of the fuselage in different shades of grey (well, only 2 shades of grey to be exact... not 50 shades. hehe)

but their fov f/a18s really class act!

I see.
Look like FOV still got a lot need to improve on their aircraft.

Anyway nice FOV F-18F, deathsoul.

oh, and another thing... fov's f15 fitting is a bit off. you can see from flying mules photo the section where the fuselage connects with the radome... the upper and lower parts do not fit well. but the most glaring deficiency across the board for all fov models (including the f/a18s) is the awful paintjob and detailing for the missiles.

Beggar cannot be chooser loh, can't afford expensive brand. As the saying goes, be please with what you have or you will not have what you please.

my 1st 1/72 aircraft and it was a gift from my wife...

out of curiousity (and i know this is a personal preference), would you rather have a high quality plastic model or a low quality diecast for about the same price?

plastic kit for display..very fragile.
diecast kit for playing...very solid.

Deathsoul, you are very lucky to have such a good wife better take good care of her maybe she will buy you another plane as your X'mas present.

Deathsoul, do you know whether the loading bay's ram of the FOV Osprey can be open? The one in the other brand, Air Force One the ram can be opened. Probably that is the reason for the price different. My FOV one can only view on X'mas cos' is my Xmas present.

deathsoul no celebrate x'mas, but no harm wishing

anyway, comrade jdk... you also got good wife take you to mhh and bought you biplane collectible from bbw sale
