A very cool finding. However the Shadow specialize in ridiculous looking vehicles in the incredible effective red colour. With 80ies limbs not a single Shad will be able to take a seat in this baby! ;)

Seriously, I don't see the use of mixing up Universes. BBI is realism, Action Force has and will be fantasy based.

RE SHADOW JET

Post by BLACKMAJOR666 »

I do think this looks good but agree it would look better in red. The Baron would need somewhere to launch his squadrons from ie an aircraft carrier or an Island.

But to truely fit into the AF universe a Heli-Carrier (sorry Marvel) would be best.

This would mean :originalaf: would have to create A-Force!!!!!!!!!!

These 1:18 Hornets are really bloody big - I think you can even buy RC versions - you're talking nearly two AF Skystrikers in length, even the monstrous USS Flagg would be dwarfed by them. Obviously, this means the figures look too small for the equipment too! An AF Herc might approach the length and width of these 1:18 Hornets but even then it would be huge!

But as Lady Jaye said, the Shads were innovators, the AF aesthetic always at least one remove from purist-reality, especially with the Baron being so enamoured of some dark techno-gothic freakazoid morbid death cult: surely a squadron of Roboskulls coming howling in from the stratosphere is sufficient for now ?!?!?!?!?!?

:hotjets: "Yee-ha!"

etc. etc.

you can get the grey version in Ml for about ?60, really smart.

I think in keeping with the german stormtrooper routes, red/black painted stukas would look the biz as the shadows aircarft
