ATLANTIC TEST RANGE (April 18, 2012) Cmdr. Eric Buus and Marine Corps Lt. Col. Matthew Taylor fly Lockheed Martin F-35C "Lightning II" Joint Strike Fighter test aircraft CF-1 and CF-2 on a formation test flight in the Atlantic test range. The test flights included a formation takeoff and landing, and structural loads testing on CF-2. The F-35C carrier variant of the Joint Strike Fighter is distinct from the F-35A and F-35B variants with its larger wing surfaces and reinforced landing gear to withstand catapult launches and deck landing impacts associated with the demanding aircraft carrier environment. The F-35C is undergoing test and evaluation at NAS Patuxent River prior to delivery to the fleet-unedited-Not part of my personal collection

With retro-camouflaged Valkyries popping up in official sourcebooks (like Su-27, U.S. Navy or Royal Navy derivates) and some national identity in mind, I wondered what a German Valkyrie would look like? Well, this here is the (quite flashy) result! The idea came when I recently got hands on the brand new WAVE Ma.K. 'Snake-Eye' kit - the box art shows the fighting suit with very special decorative markings: "tulip" wedges.
For those interested, here's an excursion about the story behind it:
The 'black tulip' markings have a real historic heritage from WWII. They had been the personal markings of German pilot ace Erich Hartmann on his Messerschmidt Bf-109 fighter machines. The characterstic markings were painted on the motor cowl, just behind the propeller spinner, which used to be black, too.
After the war (and 352 air combat victories!), when Germany began re-building its defensive forces under the pressure of the Cold War, Erich Hartmann returned from Russian imprisonment, joined German Luftwaffe's forces again and received in 1960 command over Germany's first jet fighter squadron, the JG 71 "Richthofen", which was initially equiped with CL-13 Mk. 6, Canadian-built F-86F-40 'Sabres'.
Consequently, besides the glamorous "Richthofen" name of the squadron, JG71's F-86 would sport the 'black tulip' trademark of their commander around their air intakes and on the fins, paired with bright red or yellow contrast fields. The tulips would, with the advent of the F-104G 'Starfighter' in the mid 60ies, disappear again, though.
But back to the little Valkyrie: The kit is actually a bastard. I did not have a single seater left in stock, so I bashed a VF-1D two-seater with the cockpit and wings of a single-seater Gerwalk kit. This caused little problem, since these kits have almost 100% matching 'interfaces'. The Gerwalk cockpit just differs slightly in proportions and lacks a landing gear compartment. The wings have no punches/adapters for weapons underneath, and the holes for the wings' sweeping mechanism are a bit larger than on the Fighter kits.
Beyond that, the Valkyrie was - as usual - built almost right out of the box, with typical minor details added to the exterior like some antennae, plus some interior things like a pilot figure and a HUD.
In oder to set this Valkyrie a bit apart from the anime versions, I gave it an "L" designation (for "Luftwaffe", the only plausible suffix I could find which was not occupied yet...). A scratch-built laser spot tracker (similar to the Pave Penny system) was mounted under the Valkyrie's front as part of a domestic KWS package ("Kampfwertsteigerung", a German term and abbreviation for military vehicle upgrades). This package also includes subtle details like passive radar sensors (fins, front, legs) and flare dispensers (legs), Small things, but they add some grit and differentiate it from standard anime models. The wings were left empty, in order not to compromise the wonderful lines and keep the kit's focus on its unique livery.
The basic paint scheme is typical for German jets like the F-4F, F-104G or Alpha Jet in the 1960-80 era. AFAIK, it was officially called "Norm '72", but it had the inofficial nickname of "Zitronenfalter" ("Brimstone Butterfly"). It already looks retro due to the angular design, but proves highly effective at medium heights over typical German countryside or over coast line areas. Today it would be sold as "fractal", but the design's origins reach back into the pre-WWII time.
The authentic colors of the Norm '72 scheme are RAL 6014 ("Gelboliv", a dark, brownish olive drab tone; Humbrol's 108 or Revell's 46 come close), RAL 7012 ("Basaltgrau", similar to the Bristish Dark Sea Grey or FS36118) for above and RAL 7001 for the undersides ("Silbergrau", a unique light grey with a metallic hue).
For the small Valkyrie kit , though, I settled for different, lighter shades, because the original tones are pretty murky and they'd rather conceal the wicked camouflage pattern. The Gelboliv became the much lighter 1711 from Testors (simple Olive drab, FS34087), and for the dark Basaltgrau, Humbrol's 27 (Matt Sea Grey) was used. The obscure undersides' RAL 7001 was simulated with a 1:1 mix of Humbrol's 11 and 34 (Silver and Flat White).
While the choice of tones was basically O.K., the olive drab turned out to be way too light after application. The contrast with Humbrol's 27 was weak, so Humbrol 108 would be recommended for a more authentic look, even though weathering would bleach the real colors. But, heck, we are doing anime here! Therefore, I left it as it was.
When the basic camouflage was done, though, I found that something was missing to round up the Valkyrie's look, due to the low contrast of the Zitronenfalter scheme's colors from above. As a visual trick, I simply added leading edges on the wings and fins in Humbrol 94 (Matt Brown Yellow) - this plausible detail clears up the machine's outlines but does not compromise the overall visual style.
The red squadron markings were painted with Humbrol 174 (Signal Red), a bright and yellowish red tone which came out almost orange in the proximity to the murky camouflage. The black tulip wedges were partly taken from a HobbyBoss Sabre's JG71 decal sheet in 1:72 and partly hand-painted in black, with white decal trims. I was surprised how these small details changed the total look of the machine!
A light wash with black ink in order to point out the surface engravings and a final coat of matt varnish (except for the nose, which is intentionally finished in high gloss like German F-4F Phantom's with the Norm '72 outfit) finished the job.
The typical German bort numbers in black with white outlines came from a spare decal set. The Valkyrie's shown registration 27+85 corresponds to German Luftwaffe's nomenklatura since 1968 (the Hartmann tulips are older, though), but is fictional. By current standards, numbers from 20+01 to 49+99 are reserved for front line fighters, with serials corresponding to types in service (and not to sqaudrons). 27+85 would have been a TF-104G Starfighter trainer at its time, but phased-out numbers have been knwon to be used again, so the bort number is plausible ;)
Overall I find this Valkyrie interpretation better than expected. At first I was afraid that the Zitronenfalter scheme would make it look boring. It IS retro, O.K., but the flashy, historic JG71 trims add that special touch and comic-likeness that make it IMO look plausible even for the Macross universe? It is amazing what you can make from these simple kits, and once more respect and awe for Kawamori Shoji's timeless design. So inspiring! ^^

I realized I never posted pics of the FR-S test drive I did back in June. It was held in the parking lot of the new Giants' Stadium. It was kind of a fun event, I suppose, except we only got one lap around the auto-cross course. I've been on roller coasters that lasted longer. Another thing is that the cars were riding on 225 wide tires and sitting on TRD springs and wheels. Still, they had one sitting out that we could sit in and get to know the interior, which I thought was decent for a tiny sports car. I can't wait to test drive one of these for real on a real road.
Glued up a fork, faced & reamed the HT, crown race seat, and ST, then flung a headset, seatpost, and saddle onto it and took it for a short brakeless ride up and down the street to see if it would explode.
Spoiler: it didn't.
It's got at least 75mm of BB drop, which is a lot for 650b. I might have to melt off the seatstays and use the 2×4 of gentle adjustment to bend the seatstays down 10mm, then make another fork with matching extra A-C, but I'll mull it over for a while first (the fork is a nice light one that's a close fit on a 42mm tire, so I may want to get a larger crown and pull some more side-to-side clearance for paranoia's sake nevertheless.)

The Orion boilerplate test vehicle is secured in the well deck of the USS San Diego at the U.S. Naval Base San Diego in California. Orion was transported about 100 miles offshore for an underway recovery test. NASA and the U.S. Navy conducted tests to prepare for recovery of the Orion crew module, forward bay cover and parachutes on its return from a deep space mission. The underway recovery test will allow the teams to demonstrate and evaluate the recovery processes, procedures, hardware and personnel in open waters. During the testing, the tether lines were unable to support the tension caused by crew module motion that was driven by wave turbulence in the well deck of the ship. NASA and the U.S. Navy are reviewing the testing data collected to evaluate the next steps. The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program conducted the underway recovery tests. Orion is the exploration spacecraft designed to carry astronauts to destinations not yet explored by humans, including an asteroid and Mars. It will have emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during space travel and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities. The first unpiloted test flight of the Orion is scheduled to launch in 2014 atop a Delta IV rocket and in 2017 on NASA’s Space Launch System rocket. For more information, visit www.nasa.gov/orion.
