Thanx strider. Sorry to hear that your 19 dropped.
I was actually considering to use a lot of the parts from Yamato like you did, before I decided to use the Bandai VF-19 kit. But... in the end I couldnt get myself to take apart my 19 like that and since this was my first kitbash, I didnt have much faith in myself. But man wouldve been a lot easier if I couldve taken the head/neck, body, back, etc from the Yamato.
Sorry, I dont understand what you're asking about the screws. What do you mean, type? Its just a normal mini screw. Around 1/8ish of an inch and about half an inch long.
When I was working on this project, I was thinking about how difficult it would be to make a variable Hasegawa 19 using the Bandai's "variable" scheme. It actually wouldnt be too hard... since its no where near perfect variable. I might actually try it for kits after I'm done with this kit.
But since I'm faaaaar from finishing this kit, I'll think about my next project later. I was actually thinking of working on my SHE VF-19 after this but I'm super indecisive so we'll see.
Also my next project might not be model related whatsoever. I might be working on a DVD sleeve for Macross and Macross Plus. It was brought up in this thread:

So I thought I'll take a crack at it.
Blah, so many Macross related stuff to do.
