Has anyone else besides mslz22 made decals for this thing?

There's a Max VF-1J going on eBay right now... http://cgi.ebay.com/300490806356?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.com%3A80%2Fi.html%3F_nkw%3D300490806356%26_sacat%3D0%26_odkw%3D1%252F60%2BMacross%2Brobotech%26_osacat%3D0%26_trksid%3Dp3286.c0.m270.l1313%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1#ht_500wt_922

Yeah, I just put in a Pre-order with AmiAmi. I usually go through HLJ because AmiAmi bones be on shipping every time, but at $21.64 cheaper, I think AmiAmi was the better choice...

Yeah, like the 2 x semi-fixed internal Mauler REB-22 laser beam guns on the YF-21. Source: http://www.macross2.net/m3/macrossplus/yf-21.htm

I concur. To me, it's not a complete aircraft without integrated landing gear. Not to sound cliche, but anything less would be uncivilized.

Son of a...

WORD! By the way, HLJ now has the Sound Booster up for Preorder as well... http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00217

Absolutely BADA$$!!!

I'm kinda hoping not...I just picked up both 27s yesterday .

BBTS still has it up for Preorder... http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=BAN13691&mode=retail

Where???

HLJ has had them for sale since just after their initial release. It's where I picked up my copy...

I know this might sound odd, but has anyone thought of using Parafilm??? We use it in my laboratory for temporary seals on glassware and petri dishes. It has wonderful stretching properties, and has a tackiness to it when stretched. "Masking applications: Parafilm will conform to any surface and fill in the tightest corners. It lifts easily and leaves no residue behind on the surface being protected. It is the preferred material by many for model masking. Cut out a thin strip from either the 2" or 4" rolls and slowly stretch to about four times its original length and let it set for about one minute. This permits it to "stress relax" resulting in the development of a nice "tackiness" to the stretched material. The thin strip is applied to the surface requiring protection and masking. Using normal finger pressure massage it into a good adhesive situation with regard to the substrate surface. After painting, it will come back up with the gentle lift of a toothpick. Unlike a number of other masking agents, it will absolutely not leave behind a residue on the protected surface." I know we're not using it for this purpose, but if it can be used for model masking, I'm fairly certain it would work in this situation. I'll have to call the manufacturer, since it is permeable to oxygen and carbon dioxide, but it should prevent whatever chemical reaction is occurring from damaging the surface of our prized possessions. That, and it's tackiness should hopefully prove to be a sound solution to the current problems. Source: http://www.2spi.com/catalog/supp/parafilm.php

I agree...I'm gonna be heated if they don't release his Glaug...seriously LIVID!

Ditto...I even picked up the DYRL color Regults to go with the Hi-Metal VF-1As I had ordered. I'm such a Macross junkie...

Yeah...missed out on my chance. At the time I really didn't like the set, but now I wish I would have picked one up, because they are nowhere in sight these days. Back on topic; I would most definitely pick up at least one of each of these Destroids if Yamato decided to make'em...even if they were HDP Web Shop Exclusives. That goes double for the Cheyenne.

I hate you...

DUDE...that Buh-LOWS!!! I almost threw up after those pictures...still makes me sick to my stomach just thinking about that kind of damage on a V1 Low Vis. I feel for you, man...I really do...

Dude...you read my mind...I love that VF-22 color scheme!!!

Payment sent...

Yeah...I noticed that too.

Preach it, brotha!

Where can I get that X-9???

I was thinking the same thing! They should just do it à la 1/60 VF-X, and do a simple repaint and augment the rest with a unique part. The VF-11 Unmanned Target Fighter would, essentially, be a 1/60 VF-11B Super Thunderbolt with a slightly retooled nose and Super Part system, smaller canards, and a replacement canopy. Even without the retool, I'd be happy with a simple canopy replacement. The canards would be tricky too, since they're in a slightly altered location in the Target Fighter, but I could live with it either way. Add a whole lot of orange and call it a day.
