That's the exact and only reason why I'm putting away my '48s and pulling out the '60s. The perfect transformation of the '48 is golden, but I'm tired of the VF-1 anyway so I'm using the '60s for scale reference. The '19, Zero and '60s will look awesome posed together, along with the 1/60 '21 that we all know (oh God please) is coming out. The '48 was great in its day but that day is looooong over, and now it's out of scale with the majority of Yamato's Macross products.
In regards to comparing the '48s and the '60s VF-1s, I like the appearance of the sharper nose on the '60, that's about it...
