    Or not. Across Hong Kong is the Guang Dong province, the so called "Workshop of the World". They speak Cantonese like Hong Kong people. 100 million strong.

    Mostly just tinkering and not sure i'l leave it like this, but I dislike the way the nosecone just hangs so far down off his back.
    You can remove the screws from the transparent plastic and swap the orientation round, but it does leave the nose cone pointing up instead. I mean you could leave them off entirely as well if you've gone this far.

    You can just remove the nosecone too, as I say just tinkering here.

    FT should have added a swivel in here really to tidy this bit up better either way.

    That might be funny if it wasn't already painted from top to bottom ;)

    I like the metallic insignia, it would blend in well with the metallic painted FT aerialbots and stunticons. Mind telling me where you go these?

    Let me honestly say... the online pics do not do the light grey, off-white sparkle metallic paint justice. Super cool paint job (the red chest too)... it really pops in person. Not too shiny either. Still close enough to the G1 toon accurate world.

    Wow, that side by side shots really emphasize how neat the underside of the alt mode looks compared to the Zeta one.

    There will be a pearl white with lighter yellow gold and darker red coming.

    Makes you wish there was a swivel there, or way that black tip would fold over

    Pulled the trigger on Maverick. Reviews for the Zeta Superion just never blew me away; I’d rather take a chance on an FT combiner.

    Had this guy for a few days now wanted the new car(plane) feel to wear off before posting.

    He is a really solid figure, I wasn`t convinced I would like him more than RoadKing. Even if objectively Roadking is better articulated, transformation is more intuitive and on my copy the joints have better tolerances, yet there is just something every appealing about Maverick. Alt mode is amazing. How it all compresses and looks as sleek as it does is outstanding. It gives me the same feeling I got from Roadking with his all in one transformation and the same as MP Ultra Magnus and his all in one transformation. hes a solid figure with good weight. I know weight has been an issue for people. I've weighed up the Maverick and Fans Toys TG just to see how it might play out. GT shoulders and backpack and wings are ~1.3kg, his tank body part is another ~1.3k, Maverick came in at ~1.1kg add that with probably another 1kg of body+waist units for combined mode and it still comes in less than TG's body/wings. Based on this I don't think the overall weight will be an issue as TG is pretty stable and is still a parts former.

    Mine is on it's way right now. Ironicly, it's probably in a big rig at this very moment.

    Nice alt mode, now that's a sleek looking concorde. Looks like you can pick it up and use it like a battle axe. Sux about those floppy/loose panels, that's gotta be annoying. Hope that's not a common issue. Amazing job with the undercarriage. Can't wait to transform it, better leave it for the weekend.

    It is.

    Anyone got any tips on tightening them up? Is it time to break out the nail polish?

    I've never used these types of decals before can you explain to me how they are applied? Are they peeled off a sheet then water applied? It's a pretty dumb question I know lol

    Do you use the silver background ones or the clear ones?

    Thanks for the reply. They look really good on your figure.
