Space Battleship Yamato (2010) Preview.v2

After responding to a post on the space1970 blog (http://space1970.blogspot.com/2010/09/star-blazers-1979.html#comment-form), I decided to go and look up some new trailers and found this one.

This is a new trailer update for the Space Cruiser YAMATO movie. In this one, we get to see more of the enemy spaceships and more space combat.

UPDATE October 16, 2010: Well, the original YouTube trailer I linked too was deleted. So below are some links to other (newer) releases of the trailers for the new live action Spacecruiser Yamato.

UPDATE 2 November 4, 2010: The trailers I link too all seem to get deleted after a few days. Here is another attempt at one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbupyeGlBPA).

"Those Voices Don't Speak for the Rest of Us"

Important words from the first man that I was able to vote for as President of the United States. The left still want to keep tearing this man down. The more they try, the harder they are going to fall is all I can say.

Right-Wing Women ROCK!

A fun little video I came across on YouTube.

Warbirds Over West Texas-Aug 6-8, 2010

August 6, 7, and 8th this year, I was a part of our local RC model club's annual event - Warbirds Over West Texas. Put on by Wings Miniature Aircraft Society (www.wingsmas.org). Held at the Abernathy Municipal Airport. Here are a few images that I took over the past 3 days.....

I of course, found a way to sneak my action figures into the event!

UPDATE 1 (August 12, 2010): West Texas Warbirds 2010 pictures by Tom Wagner. Showing Me with Ms. Brittney Bennett with Tom Wagner's P-47.

Sarah Palin and Germany?

Found this on The Jawa Report! Germans might be ready for a visit from one Sarah Palin!

Click on video to watch it on YouTube if you have too.

Krista Branch - I Am America

Krista Branch - I Am America. A great tune and something we need to remember this November when the next election takes place. Also, due to the sizing problems, just click on the video and watch it on YouTube.

Incorrect Markings on RTF Model Airplanes

I've been drooling over what Nitroplanes/Airfield RC have been coming out with this past year.

However, I'm disappointed that their quaility control at the Chinese factory(

I assume) is terribly lacking. Point in fact is with American military aircraft from World War Two to Vietnam and the modern era. The "Star & Bar" is displayed on top of the left wing and bottom of the right wing with the point of the star pointing in the direction of travel or up if on the fuselage. And on both sides of the fuselage. In the modern era, the American flag is displayed on the vertical tail usually. If you are standing on the left or port side of a airplane, the flag is normal looking, on the right or starboard side, it is the reverse view "as if you were looking at the flag on a flagpole."

Case in point: Airfields' popular 55" wingspan P-51D Mustang with either the red nose spinner or the yellow spinner. Truth be known, I would love to buy the yellow nose

Mustang. But I cannot bring myself to - because of the incorrect wing markings done on the yellow airplane. They got it right with the red spinner

airplane! What happened here with the yellow one? Even more bizarre, their smaller 30" wingspan size P-51s are correct in their wing markings!?

The Art-Tech P-51D is done correctly. The pictures prove it on their own website!

Then moving on to the big, beautiful Twin 70mm ductfan powered F-4e done up in U.S. Navy colors by ProJet. And the star & bar is on top of the starboard(i.e. right wing). To make matters worse, the point of the star is facing AFT, Not Forward like it should!!!

The color schemes are not bad-don't get me wrong about that. But to allow such models to reach the public with these type of mistakes point to poor oversite management in my opinion. That F-4E just begs for the USAF southeast asia paint scheme on a future model release. I hope that they can get it right when they do it.
