Sci Fi jets! What are they!?!

Posted by piflo1 on Tuesday, March 11, 2008 10:00 PM

Hey Y'all,

I remember seeing a picture of a model jet that someone did. It looks a lot like a F-15, F-16, F-18 etc... but it was a bit more futuristic than that, more curves, extra wings..... I am curious where they come from? I looked for something like that under Robotech and Gundam, but could not find anything.

Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough. Let me know if any of you know.

Thanks!

Bryan

Rather than looking for "Robotech" try looking for something under "Macross"....even though Robotech is the US version of Macross, it didn't cover all the series....there are many more vehicles and mecha in the Macross series....a good place to check is Mecha HQ

Could also be the "Supersylph Yukikaze" series.

I have no idea what the series is about, but some of the jets are cool. I'm partial to the 'Mave' myself.

my freind has the superslyph

man, what a chunk of resin

his was warped when he got it, had to do a LOT of work on it to straighten it out because so much of it is cast as one piece, but, thats the chance with resin. neat design!

Oh, I was thinking of the plastic Bandai kits (I avoid resin kits for all the reasons you mention).

Its a shame, cause I was hoping you might be able to tell me about the plastic ones. They just became available again, and I was thinking of buying some.
