    I'd go for the QF-4K series ghosts with no hesitation whatsoever.... 6 to 10 of them !!!. I've been praying for those to come out for eons !

    +1, I can hardly wait for that one.... Agree, Hase will milk every bit of penny out of the extant toolings. YF-25 Prophecy, VF-25A Canon Fodder and VF-31 Variants on high probabilities to be next in line. Then Armored VF-25 would be the next logical step, IMO.

    Did I just noticed this detail on the boxart ?. That pink hair and uniform looks familiar...
  4. ivorysniper
    Official box art now posted on Hasegawa's website !.
  5. ivorysniper
    I would go up front for the Nosferatu for sure !!

    In stock now at HLJ. Box art looks awesome as usual !!. Lil' Drakens are an interesting subject.... wonder if Hasegawa will ever issue Frontier's QF-4000 series UCAVs

    Yupp... forecasting Hasegawa's future releases is like walking into uncharted territory. I'm wild-guessing they put the VF-31 and Sv-262 in the middle of the path as an attempt to keep up with the latest TV Series. Logical next steps might be (have been) YF-25 Prophecy, VF-25A 'Canon Fodder Messiah', Armor-packed VF-25F/S, Tornado-packed VF-25F/G... all these squeezing every penny out of the existing VF-25 molds. However, I do reckon Hase has stepped up on the frequency of issuing new models.... my wallet feels it that way at least.

    Boxart concept is out!

    The 'economy model' is a very interesting approach I didn't think of. Thank you for the great insight !. Thank you also for the directions (I easily earned the ice cream treat, btw). So, basically, the requirement for modularity and mission-based ordnance customization sacrificed all-around performance. That container proves to weigh much more than 200 kgs, even carrying the lightest payload (although on a 1-on-1 ELINT variant comparison, I would think of a greater performance advantage to a container-packed radar suit vs. the cumbersome RVF-25 add-on pack). Getting carried away a little bit... I would imagine how difficult would be to control Luca's machine on atmospheric final approach without the assistance of the ARIEL II.

    Now, this is the first time we see two big chunks of fold carbon installed on a VF... actually a mass-produced VF. Would it be safe to assume the Kairos represents a quantum leap in VF technology and not only a discrete step forward on improvement ?. Quartz-blessed variable fighters, since their introduction in Macross timeline with the YF-29, were always hero-machines, far from being mass-produced due to prohibitive costs. Not sure if the -31A performance stats confirm the Kairos being far superior to latest mass-produced machines like the Messiah (I'm kicking the Lucifer out of this equation due to its known lack of sportsmanship, haha). Where could I find the Kairos (and the Sigfried too) stats? Apologies in advance for deviating from the topic.

    Home run !... Perfectly explained and well understood. Thanks a lot for the into and the time dedicated.
  12. ivorysniper
    Fold carbon instead of fold quartz, according to 'all-mighty' Google Translate, a totally new concept for me. OTM engineers... can you please shed some light here ???
  13. ivorysniper
    Amen to that !!! . She's a blessing to us, and we'll be cherishing every split second of her life with us. You're right on the bullseye when saying girls are definitely for Daddies !!!!

    I recall the days when you told us about enjoying a lot your newborn baby girl and the scarcity of free time for model building. I'm now in the same boat, with a 7-month-old baby girl grabbing all my attention. But even though my air compressor is now mothballed and bubble-wrapped along with 90% of the tooling, with very low chances of re-deployment on a near future, there's some Ash Ketchum's syndrome that prevents me from quitting stockpiling kits. I wonder if the decal sheets will withstand all that long time until retirement.
  15. ivorysniper
    Pre-ordered !. Cannot let this one pass !. Thanks for the heads up. I was totally clueless about the Kairos already being available for pre-order !.
  16. ivorysniper
    That build looks so awesome !. If I'm right, on VF Episodes Archive Vol. 1, that bird was the testbed for the Ariel II AI FCS, later introduced on the VF-25.
  17. ivorysniper
    Kei Nagase livery looks awesome !. Hopefully Hase reissues this one at some point. I missed the opportunity when it came out, but I'm not willing to pay for an overpriced kit.
  18. ivorysniper
    They look awesome !. Will take a look to the links right now !!.. Thanks a lot !!

    You're welcome !. AMM-101s on 1/72 won't be a problem, as each Hasegawa VF-25 kit brings 18 of them on six 3-weapon pylons that can be easily modified to 1 and 2-weapon pylons. I'm more focused on building the Hase kits than the Bandai ones, and the need for post-SW1 underwing ordnance on 1/72 is already dire. VF-0 and VF-25 series kits were the only ones receiving some love from Hasegawa, and only one independent weapons pack has been issued so far but for the VF-1. I'd personally love to see the exotic weaponry from the VFMF books to be hanged below the naked wings of the ordnance-neglected VF-11, -19 and -22, and also have something else than the AMM-101s on the -25. Just my personal wish.

    Maybe it is the PaCSWS-2C from VFMF VF-31... not sure about it though. There are also one big cruise missile and two more stealth missiles (ACSWS-X) on the book too. By the way, is it physically possible to have these weapons 3D-printed on 1/72 ?.
  21. ivorysniper
    With that -31A coming we now need wing-suspended ordnance !. I already have a surplus of AMM-101 from the six Hase's VF-25 kits, but got bored of them. Some PaCSWS-X or RMS-7 or even the MDE missile would make things more interesting.
  22. ivorysniper
    Yeahhhh !!!!!
  23. ivorysniper
    This is sad. They were my goto store too for all GSI products
  24. ivorysniper
