My eyes hurt already thinking about applying all those decals Thanks for sharing! - MT

I vote that they bundle the kit with a bottle of Micro-sol....... and maybe a stress-ball for good measure.

...and a second set of decals.

Somehow it's seizure indicing.

Some things should stay in the drawing board

If a gaudily decaled car is called an itasha, would this be called an "itaki?"

I kinda like this one, but I agree it has a slight Vertigo effect on the eyes!

30 Anniversario? Which language is this? Italian?

And to the original topic author, about the thread title we usually just refer to him as Tenjin around here.

Thanks for sharing EXO

The more I look at the scheme the less sense it makes, what is it supposed to represent?

From what I remember, Cartograf is an Italian decal company that made decals for tamiya. IMO, Catorgraf makes the best decals.

I would've preffer a million times if the scheme where the UN spacy logo with 30th anniversay text that's on the floor stamp on the main fuselage and the Colombian flag stripes on the wings only and the rest all light gray.

Cartograf is an Italian decal company that makes EXCELLENT decals for most major modelling companies. Their reputation is so good that they are commissioned on specialty or commemorative models - like this eye buster. It still hurts to look at it! - MT

The mirror effect on the first pic kinda makes the lines of the fuselage all blend together in a fuzzball of LSD induced pony farted rainbows.

In my case, leave it for my Lancia Delta HF Integrale. Looks nice there if it carries those decals. And those wondering where the UN SPACY logo goes, then do me a favour and look at the steering wheel!

The franchise's logos, on the doors

30th Anniversary logo, on the hood

VF-1 Valkyrie: Top rear windshield

Since 1982: Rear bumper

#30: Rear windows

Macross 30th anniversary texts: Above quarter panels

UN SPACY text: Centre front bumper

Guess Tenjin finally ran out of posing ideas for the VF-1.....

[Jefuemon]

But, but, that's a nice view!

I guess Tenjin just meant this but 30 years later:

Very good very good poster and images

[Zinjo]

Why don't they just release commemorative "Studio Models" of the fighters for these Production commemoratives? I love my special edition VF100-VF-25F&S fighter build ups that Bandai released, why not just release more of those types?

I'd rather see a 30th Anniversary of SW1 Commermorative VF-171 or VF-25 as "in-universe" paint schemes...

The artwork is gorgeous to be sure, but it just seems out of place to me.

Yup, it is. Straight from Capt. Global's native homeland. "Ora che è un orgoglio italiano!"
