Nice! Building model aircraft was a huge hobby of mine growing up. 1:72 scale was my favorite, and my dad's too! I haven't had a lot of time for the hobby over the past decade, but I'll pass on what I know.
Things You Might Not Think You Need, But You Need
> Resist the urge to twist, pull, or snap the tiny parts off of their sprues. Clip them off as far away from the part as you can and then carefully shave off the excess plastic from the sprue with a knife. You don't want to accidentally rip off a chunk of the part; no Demon Lord wants a pockmarked plane.
> An xacto knife, small pocket knife, or even a paring knife will do. Use this to trim extra plastic off of parts. For long pieces, like wings and fuselages, you can hold the blade perpendicular to the part and gently drag along the edge to remove long swaths of plastic.
> Hasegawa is one of the best brands of model manufacturers. Their kits fit together flawlessly, and they are highly detailed. Still, the nature of injection molding means that these parts have to be attached to sprues, and that means there will be excess plastic to trim away.
> Also, glue can squeeze out between fuselages and wings. Try to wipe it away immediately, but if it dries you can sand it away.
> Model building is messy. Small plastic shavings and paint can get everywhere without a disposable surface to work on.
> Better to have one close, instead of having to run into the kitchen to grab one as excess glue dribbles down your vertical stabilizer.
> Useful for holding small parts, like wheels. You can also use it as a tool to apply tiny amounts of glue and paint.
> Critical for holding together parts while the glue dries
Glue Advice
Paint Advice
General Advice
Keric has posted some great info but I would add a bit of extra info to that. Buy some gloss varnish so that the Decals look & stick properly. I would suggest using PVA wood glue to glue canopies & clear parts because it's better value for the money. Also, if you're doing any brush painting, buy Vallejo Model Colour paints. I've heard they brush paint the best.
Paint formatting chart to be used for obtaining the correct paints from Vallejo.
Use tweezers to handle the smallest parts. Thin the paints before you paint & Apply a few thin coats instead of one thick coat. I would suggest getting a bottle of modeling glue with a fine applicator nozzle or a brush to apply the glue more precisely. i advise you to keep a tube of plastic putty that's either water or solvent just in case you need to fill any gaps.
Would also suggest you join the Britmodeller or FSM forums for more advice:

As has been said before, this looks pretty much identical to the previous stick that Hori made in 2012. And since the one they made for the 360 was nothing but a rehash of the one for the PS2, it's safe to say that most of the reviews on the previous model will probably carry over to the new stick.
I've been searching up hardcore for any info on deadzones. I have been really looking for a stick that has a mini joystick on the stick and this both fits the bill and I want moar AC7 shtuff. The biggest consensus of all the reviews of both models seems to be that it does have a bit of a deadzone, but the stick action is fairly heavy and feels well put together. Good button layout and accessibility. Although I'm skeptical I'm a little hopeful they make it at least a little better inernally. Different company but TM fixed the deadzone a bit from the HOTAS X to the HOTAS 4 so who knows.
Here's a link to the reviews page sincethey don't seem to appear correctly on the product page (at least on my computer).
I haven't bought the game yet but it looks really cool, I hope to be able to use these peripherals when I buy it. Thanks for working toward a quick bug fix
​
I have a Thrustmaster HOTAS
https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-T16000M-FCS-Flight-Pack/dp/B01N2PE8CZ/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1549048613&sr=1-1&keywords=thrustmaster

And a Gladiator flight stick

I love it, nothing beats a 65-inch tv and a 7.1 surround system. With a lap keyboard it's as comfortable or sometimes more than a desk. If you really want a surface to play on some center tables like mine can transform. I also use remote desktop to connect to the pc from my 'work' desk.
As others have said, it's probably not available on digital but you can buy it used on Amazon from third party sellers, ranging from $14-19
There's one offer in "very good" condition that's $20 and prime eligible
Agree, it would be easier to find a similar looking jacket and have one custom created to look similar.
This jacket would be a good base to make a reproduction:

Wikipedia isn't a bad place to start for some bare basics. Don't lean on it for things like technical specifications, but for broad-strokes knowledge about what an aircraft's niches are (air-to-air, air-to-ground, multirole, carrier-based, etc) it's ok. Another decent starting resource is this book, which I had as a kid. There are some mistakes and omissions, and it's definitely not an "expert resource," but it's a handy guide when paired with the Ace Combat series, which spans multiple eras and generations of aircraft.
Another place I like is Jane's. They publish Jane's Defence Weekly, but you can also get online content to keep up with platforms and technology.
Best poster i ever bought.

I used an i7 4770K (£300 on Amazon) to get my good results on Ace Combat 4. Every intel quad core processor ivy bridge or above has 4 cores+4 threads, so it effectively works as an 8 core processor.
Getting great 8 core performance is kinda pricey, but not nearly as bad as that.
If you guys are still interested in Strangreal, Amazon France still has Collectors Edition for the Xbox Preorder. https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07JV9FXBP?pf_rd_p=61e3aca3-2f4c-4ed4-8b56-08aa65c1d16f&pf_rd_r=W8A8F3FA3M5KYPER5XP7&th=1
It's the encyclopedia, right? That's the only one I can find with the isbn provided.
The Encyclopedia Of Military Aircraft https://www.amazon.com/dp/1407567527/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_XAUyDbYS676RQ
Thanks for the info btw
Ah, yes - it's there.
+-10 days won't make that big of a difference I guess. It's not like I haven't listened to Zaptroxix's rip for hundreds of hours :P
Digital component like this
Heard this helps the quality a bit
Sorry for the late reply btw
That's exactly where I got it as well. https://www.amazon.com/Patch-Squad-Combat-Fighter-Squadron/dp/B019PCVDAE/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1486509065&sr=8-11&keywords=ace+combat
Honestly... Wikipedia isn’t a bad start lol if you want a book I’d recommend this one.
The Encyclopedia Of Military Aircraft https://www.amazon.com/dp/1407567527/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_j2vMBbF1JW1QQ
Yes, the Thrustmaster t.flight hotas 4 it's a decent stick and you can use it on PC as well. I don't own a PS4 and use it only for DCS on PC but it works well. I also used it to play AC 5 and Zero on PCSX2 and had no complaints. But I can't vouch for how it works on PS4.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-Extreme-Processor-Socket-2011-V3/dp/B00N1O4RRY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1464618091&sr=8-4&keywords=intel+i7+5930k its only £850 or 1,115.19 EUR or 1,242.57 USD stop acting like an 8core processor is expensive! wait^Kappa
Got it off of amazon for around $50 when I got, but it’s now $100 on amazon
