Hello Guys and Gurlies :D

I've been working on this kit for sometime now it's not completly done still need too add some more panel lines here&there do some touch ups add decals and clear coat. I'll be adding pics of the Finshed 19a when its completly done. this is a real nice kit I almost reget building it because of how rare these tanmen kits are, and how difficult there are to paint. ( if anybody wants to unload theres PM me :D:D )

let me know what you guys think:

Nice work Kam!!! Sweet!

All..take a look at the paint bottle it's on...these are tiny...and the fit and detail in the paint job is ever so more impressive when you realize how tiny!

Holy crap... if that isn't nice...

Your painting is very worthy of Tanmen's craftmanship.

don't forget to keep us updated

Awwwww how cutesy :p

I thought i would never buy SD of anything, but i think its a sign of addiction when u cave into doing just that for the toys that one loves ! Would be nice to have an SD YF19 I thinks... :p:p:p

nice work, look forward to seeing the final version

does Tanmen have a website?

Yes... its:

http://www.246.ne.jp/~tanmen/

did Tanmen make a SD VF-4?

Its on this list:

http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown-Spade/...e/jp/eitem.html

But I can't recall at the moment if its a kit he's ever finished or not.

Before you go much farther I'd suggest you read this:

I've bought from Tanmen before and I've always received what I ordered but he was rather slow and he just seems to be getting slower.

Just my 2 cents...

thanks,

I havent finshed it yet Bought a new home again <_< and have to pack all kits up again <_< wont be able to touch it till another month or so. One thing about these kits are the decals are so poorly made. you also mention about hobbyfan how long did it take to recieve your kits from them?

Looks great. here's a link to the one I built. http://starshipmodeler.org/gallery6/eb_sdyf19.htm

I had a wicked tough time with the canopy. Also,if I may, drill and pin the antena behind the cockpit. I snapped that more that a few times. I can't wait to see it finished.

hey that great work there, before I stop working on mine I ran into trouble with the canopy too how did you manage to fit it in? I was thinking on dipping it into some warm water to reshape it

I cut it into two pieces and slowly sanded bit by bit down. The canopy didnt come out top notch because of some super glue fumbling. On other kits where I've made bad cuts on the connecting edge I just built up with elmers glue. I'm curiouse on how your gonna tackle it. I'm always looking for a better way.
