And having no luck.

Everyone used to have it, but now they've replaced them all with the beauty shot from the Mag. Can someone post the one from the Sketchbook?

Thanks,

The only CGI image of the Akira I could find in the book is a background shot on the "Pale Ale" joke ad on page 202. I wonder if you're thinking of the three-way picture on page 119? That's a painting by Alex Jaeger, not CGI.

I'm thinking of the one that goes with this one of the Saber,

this one of the Steamrunner,

and this one of the Norway.

And not this one from the Magazine/Fact Files.

Huh? I remember the first time we saw these images, about 4 years ago. . . and there were only three of them. I've never seen a corresponding image for the Akira. . .

Really?? I could have sworn... [Mad]

Oh well, guess this is *yet another* instance of my being a scatter-brained fool. Sorry about that. [Roll Eyes]

Well, the book has no such picture. As a result, I believe we should regard Mim as certifyable from now on. [Smile]
