Edited first post with Wmkjr ghost photo and the following info. The production is finished. I have available in stock 2 Painted Ghosts and 6 last Unpainted Ghosts. Landing gears are also in stock. Feel free to PM me if you want one, even if this post don't get updates, I will be keeping the spare Ghost in a cool, dry place for the future until they got sold out.

If you pull the canopy, it will go out easily. Try to wash it gently with soap and see what happens. I don't think there could be such a mistake as manipulating plastic parts with dirty hands in a factory, it is probably some dirt that came during the final assembly step. I had cloudy canopies to come transparent again with an acrylic gloss spray. Don't try Tamiya's TS 13 (lacquer base), it can melt the paint if applied too thick.

Getting slowly into shape. 340 mm height. The plasma beam canon is 430mm long. It should be something holding it

After this 13rd episode, I am now convinced to get a 31F and I would love to get both Hayate and Messer figures in it! But still my 2nd choice: 31A had some show time also, and this grey scheme and delta wings are lovely!
-
@Captain, the Soprod A10 is a great choice, I will be looking at your FB now @Derex, that Ghost is looking great already, even without the yellow details and shadowing. Can't wait to see it when finished

Hey Captain, I kind of like automatic watches but couldn't convince myself to pay more than seikos. Wanna share more about your model? Is it unique or do you plan to make more?
-
Hi Spanner, thank you for the support! I will ask Kicker in MP about his issue, but if he wants to let one of his to you, that would be great.

Make sure that you got either the "Ya Banking" or "Ya Standing" adapter on your YetiStand, then you can buy from my Shapeways shop the "X-9 stand Adapter". To insert the adapter, you need the bottom/rear fin deployed and open the missile traps, once installed you can close the traps. These shots are from Wmkjr's Flickr! All the credits should go to him.

I just had a look at your pictures link, and couldn't resist not sharing this one... Such a great display and my favorite angle shot. Macross Plus 5 by Wm K, sur Flickr

A shame that Bandai never edited a small VF-25 addon featuring a fold reactor
-
Looking really nice, but is it a satin red? Looks not that glossy.
-
Besides the reactor exhausts that can be greyish, and sometime I saw the top of the supers having yellow accents too, all red seems the official way. That's also my favorite color way
-
Thank you for the updates Jasonc, it is never easy to make that much kit in a row!
-
You are welcome and enjoy this nice bird!

Damn I was confused a few seconds also: he meant Sharon not Sheryl. And thinking of that, a little Sheryl would be stunning also... I shall give her a try soon!

Hi Axelay, nice review. I am sorry it doesn't match 100% the original form. According to you this is the main tab that goes into the armor that is the culprit of the wrong angle? Can you sand it a bit so the front little pylons touch the armor pack again, then making the reaction missiles point forward? You can also try to heat the part with a air dryer and gently ploy the parts in the correct angle.

From the quote below! They are 1/60 but unfortunately I have no plan to make resin kits of these in the 1/72 scale. Mainly because there are small parts that won't scale down as is, so the 1/72 ghost needs a fair amount of additional work and thinking that I currently don't have. It's sad not having enough free time.

Great diorama derex!
-
Thanks! Well the Workroid is scaled to fit the VF-1J 1/60 scale in terms width, it is a little smaller in height. The containers are scaled as seen in the anime so the Workroid has to lift itself a little on its feet to carry the third pile of containers. The actual size of the containers are 3.14 cm x 7.5cm x 3.8 cm (in real size: 1m90 x 4m50 x 2m30)

I spend way too much time on 3D to my taste, this is probably why you think I am fast with it
-
I have stopped counting on the articulations implemented! I like this model a lot, and surprisingly the Workroid has a LOT of common shapes and curves with the Cheyenne III
-
You can have a look of it here, you can also rotate it in the 3D viewer. Or, if you have an order there, you can grab the part and add it to your current. https://www.shapeways.com/product/ZKQ8XKCAG/black-nose-scale-1-72?optionId=56828949

Not as sexy as Wmkjr's but this is my workbench right now!

Sorry for the lack of updates, I have been really busy with a peak of orders that I had to prepare the whole weekend! I am very happy that almost all the painted kits have been sold. Updated 1st post with : The production is complete. 1st batch: unpainted versions is completed and shipped 2nd batch: mainly Painted versions is completed and being shipped. Stock: I have available in stock 1 Painted Ghost and several Unpainted ones. Landing gears are being restocked and will be available for end of June. I am preparing the 3rd and probably the last batch, if you want to secure a Painted kit, you should order now because I need prepare the batch for the painting.

If you want a fast and great result with WSF plastic: 1) wash the part with water and dish washing soap, let it dry or quick hair-dryer. 2) Take a metal wire and wrap it in the middle of the part to attach it then spray some dark grey / black primer all over. Let it dry (for Tamyia spray paint it would be dry enough to be mounted in 1 hour, 24h for complete dry) 3) cut the part in half to separate the 2 pylons and assemble
