I see plenty of potential for this kit with or without the faults that the sad little trolls are going on about. Unlike some of the other HobbyBoss kits, I will endeavor to acquire at least two of these kits if not more as I have always preferred the shape and appearance of the Northrop F-23 over that of the Lockheed Martin F-22 [C]Raptor.

I'd prefer three. First:what-if polish, second:what-if israeli, third:real USAF. These guys sit too deep in their trenches. Let them stay there :)

I'm in for at least one - navalized and in USMC markings. Hi-vis, of course.

I really wish they would stop attacking my resin...or at least warn me earlier.

Now I'd like to see that in 1/72 scale too Greg :)

To go with the new YF-23 kit, new decal sheet has just been announced by Caracal Models, to be printed first in 1/48, then 1/72 and 1/144. A preview of the artwork can be seen here: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=268862&st=20

I probably won't need them...

me either !

"Boomerang II"? That won't come back if it's that shape!

I'd have thought as the YF-23 was nicknamed the "Black Widow II", a similar Arachnid from downunder would have worked better - how about "Funnel Web" or "Trap Door" or "Huntsman"?

Volkodav · « **Reply #113 on:** November 03, 2013, 06:56:28 PM »

War and hunting boomerang didn't come back anyway, it was only the smaller ones used for hunting and scaring birds that did.

I think Boomerang II would be apt given the first CAC Boomerang. KittyHawkII would also be acceptable.

Chris and I chose the Red Back nickname for reasons that might not be obvious to all here.

Oceanic Confederation Defense Force? Wouldn't that be Oceania or Oceanica?
Oceania/Oceanica have specific political, geographical and ethnographical
meanings, 'oceanic' refers to any ocean.

Hobby Boss' news for 2014 are here! LINK!

For the 1/72 faction, it's rather meh!

Well, with any luck the Skyhawks will be decent and fill the void Fujimi left by not re-releasing theirs.

It'd be nice to see that Delta FAV in 1/35 make it further than a photo in the catalog at some point in time.

I think that must be an in-joke with Chinese kit makers; I think it's been in everybody's catalog at some point, starting with DML back in the 90s.

I wonder if the KrAZ 255 is based on the Roden kit?
The T-20 Kosmolets on the Mirror Models kit?

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #120 on:** January 11, 2014, 05:30:44 AM »

Excited!!! 1/48 Ka-27 :)

Happy also to see the 1/35 CV90-35 announced.

Also interested in the 1/35 Hungarian 44M Tas

As for the rest…well, I seem to have most of the interesting ones already either from other manufacturers or in conversion sets.

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #121 on:** January 11, 2014, 05:31:42 AM »

Already available:

1/35 CV90-30
