  1. If I ever build another VF-1, it will be the Hase 1/48. Great work.
  2. I tried Blender, too, and I state that the interface was purposely designed to keep everyone except hardcore 3d modeling haxxor freaks from using the software.
  3. I've been wondering about this, too. At first glance, Bandai seemed to have stayed very close to the CG models from the animation. Maybe Hase just brings us a better assembly, better surface detail (though Bandai was pretty good there), a better cockpit (Bandai seemed to have copied the simplified setup from the animation model here), and, most important, better decals. And all of this, of course, for a more affordable price. Skull Squadron, assemble!
  4. None of the product descriptions I've seen so far mention light-up features, so it may be just a mean photoshop trick. According to Hobbysearch, the size is 16 cm, so it's even smaller than the Kotobukiya kit (18 cm).
  5. So we have this: DWG109 = Messerschmitt Bf-109 FG156 = Me-163 DWG262 = Me-262 DWG229 = Horten Ho-229 DMB87 = Ju-87 Stuka (note the angled wings) Any ideas for the others?
  6. I spotted it at the left of this photo; yes, it's small. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BHGZHHdCIAEJR-L.jpg:large
  7. Already announced in the Riobot thread, but I think it should be in here, too: Riobot Jehuty is finally coming in September. It has even more gimmicks & accessories than the Kotobukiya and Revoltech figures combined, for a mere 13500 Yen (cough).

  8. Did I understand it correctly that the UX-01 "Submarine" will only be released as a Mekakore add-on to another kit?
  9. The only justification for STIII is the introduction of the Bird of Prey design.
  10. Pic of the launch rails from Amiami blog: http://www.amiami.jp/blog/2013/05/shs_01/73.jpg
  11. Slightly larger pic of Yellow 13: http://www.amiami.jp/blog/2013/05/shs_02/77.jpg
  12. I'm waiting for the first Hase-Bandai Frankenvalks.
  13. How I feel about the upcoming Anubis plastic kit: More pics at Hobbysearch
  14. Watched part of the first Trekmovie ('79) on TV last night and wonder why people bitch so much about Abrams' lens flare. Did they never watch Trumbull's work?
  15. Actually, those recon drones are larger than the combat ones.
  16. Moebius used the Timeslip kit to create their master. Let's see how much corners they had to cut for injection plastic production.
  17. More pics from Shizuoka: http://masterfileblog.jp/news/2013/05/17/3764.html
  18. More pics of the Moebius kits from the classic era: http://culttvman.com/main/?p=29729 http://masterfileblog.jp/news/2013/05/18/3795.html
  19. Hasegawa has the market covered for the aircraft modelers, Bandai's kits are aimed at the occasional modeler or people who don't want to spend too much time on a kit. These VFs are meant to be handled, posed and transformed, including the repeated removal of the landing gear, which is why they look how they do. The Frontier aircraft are excellent replicas of their animated counterparts, they're just a b*tch to build.
