    Looks great man!! I was thinking of getting this spoiler kit or the other one from Laser moon. The thigh fillers help a lot as well!!

    You call that slight? oy... I wouldn't.

    I was considering this add-on as at first glance it does look great, but that's just way too restrictive, it could have been designed with a tilt fairly easily.

    Looking at the picture, I find the edges rough and I even see where the paint isn't done well and has spots.

    Can you sand it?

    Edit: nevermind. That's the spoiler blocking it not the filler.

    ive got that spoiler kit ordered, it makes the figure so much better, only downside is that im putting it on a "netflix" version, im gonna have to find a paint to dirty it up, i was thinking a testors gunmetal paint looks close for the dirt/grime/dust on the netflix figures.

    Whoa, that is nice work! But that last pic of Movie Barry in the Siege body is pretty awesome. I did it before to make that fill his empty body and he looks menacing. :)

    So far, the epoxy is holding on the broken SL Jetfire blade (didn't touch blade and just snapped when removing the base; 2nd one we ordered has been working fine). From the outside, no visible damage is seen. From the inside, you can see the break line. I barely had enough room for the epoxy to work. Lightly filed both sides of the break and the small area where the white base touches the blade, removed sanding dust (use a cloth), applied a thin layer of clear 5 minute epoxy, and then cut off the excess epoxy after the initial cure. I couldn't do my usual pin and epoxy method as the pin would be visible through the blade.

    I just hope this is a fluke and not something representative across all the blades.

    Shows the back after the repair attempt. The break line is seen...and hoping won't break again.

    Storage in alt mode is wonky. The preview pic shows attaching it to the red cab. If you have 2, you can make faux jet thrusters...sorta.

    GX / Go Better parts are great and ultra smooth.

    Some people do water based colors for that. A simpler way is to use the Tamiya Weathering Master kits. You just brush/swab on the weathering and is fairly forgivable.

    Thanks for the information. I saw BBTS had Gabriel on sale as a pre-order, but I wasn't sure about the quality or if it was better than the Hasbro. TfSource now raised Omega to over $300.
    Edit: Sorry, I have been away for a while. I just noticed some of these things have been mentioned already.

    As far as I'm concerned - this is an essential purchase for Jetfire!

    Where did that come from?

    Sidenote: I was surprised to see Jetfire using a weapon accessory not originally included in the toy purchase.
