The Bandai in that pic looks scared sh!tless. It knows it will soon be replaced by something far superior. Then, off the bargain bin for the Bandai.

OT, but yes he is. 7 and a half feet tall and fully articulate with a stand to help support it.

Nice find. Now I'm wondering how Yamato will pull off the opening canopy. It doesn't open as a whole.

Which Plastruct glue in particular? ======>>>>Plastic Weld (bonds dissimilar plastics) Before you do anything, read this in it's entirety. Here's what you can do: *Place the PW in front of you where you can see it at all times. If this spills on plastic it will melt it. *MELTS PARTS at the point of contact. Dries quickly when applied thin. **A small application goes a long way. Over applicating will render the parts useless and turn them to goo. ***Use tweezers when making final placements. When your hands make contact with PW anything they touch right after will leaved imbedded fingerints. BROKEN PIECES: 1. Locate all the pieces. 2. Dry fit everything twice, first using you hands, then tweezers. This really helps. 3. Disassemble both biceps and both shoulders. Keep all parts at arms reach. 4. Open your bottle of PW. 5. Brush a brisk light coat on the first surface to be repaired. NOT ALL at parts are to be brushed at once, just the parts to be put together at this time. 6. Re-apply PW while leaving a tiny bead on the contact areas. 7. Re-attach and press the pieces firmly together. Do not add too much pressure, this will lead to warped parts. 8. Repeat steps 5 thru 6 until all parts are bonded together. 9. Allow to dry. 10. Brush a light coat over the exterior of all affected parts, resulting in a glossy finish. DO NOT APPLY PW INSIDE WHERE THE HALVES COME TOGETHER, PARTS WILL BE RUINED. 11. Once the parts are dry, re-assemble everything loosely. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. 12. Allow figure to remain untouched and loosely assembled for SEVEN DAYS. Trust me on this. You need the parts to fully dry and not mis-shape while drying. 13. On DAY EIGHT, screw down all parts as normal. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE SHOULDERS or BICEPS. 14. TIGHTEN down on the SHOULDER COVERS ONLY. The pressure applied by these will be sufficient and maintain friction at the shoulder joints. ****Glossy finish can be lightly sanded for a satin finish, but is not necessary. REPAIRING STRESS MARKS - 1. Crack the part off or slightly pry the piece open and brush PW inside. 2. If you cannot open a stress mark, leave it and brush PW over it. 3. Repeat steps 9 thru 14 listed above. Attached pictures: RED - Affected areas BLUE - Stress Marks GREEN - Broken parts Hope this helps. It's worked great for me on various occasions for different Zero Phoenix(es).

WWhatever you do, do not use Crazy Glue to repair it. Go it and find Plastruct Glue. I have had great success repairing 0As with problems like these.

So second release could be eminent. Great news indeed.

Wow! That is an awesome, Cobra Commander! Just kidding, the colors look spot on to the box art. Great job! Can't wait to see this next to a completed 1/60 Regult.

Ha, Ha, Ha. Looks line an Alien Queen. Still it would have been better for them to re-tool a few bits to make it right. Thanks for the pics.

Excellent color scheme. I just wish they had made indentations for the vents and not just paint applications. Battroid pics?? Anyone???

Here's a fantastic tutorial that I happened to come across. The explanations are so simple and effective, I thought I should share this. Model Kit Tutorial

Well not much too look at, but I get a lot of enjoyment out of it. I usually swap stuff out from time to time. This pic is from Nov '09. Since then my Macross collection has grown considerably. On the note of criticism, for my toy collecting, I try to ingore the ignorances of others.

Cap'n, FYI, SILVERDRAGON might not be able to contact you for the next week or so. He is in the process of moving to a new place and has other priorities at this time. If you need anything, I will do my best to relay the message. NB4M.

PM re-sent. Thanks, Alex

Graham, Would Yamato ever consider making this available for the 1/48 TV Max Exclusive??? Oftern, the 1/48's get re-issued. Why not this?

Congratulations. This is a very nice build. Since you have the file for the YF-19, you could always scale it up further than 1/60. Maybe, 1/48, 1/32, 1/20? Welcome.

If this turns out to be the case. Then purchasing multiples is definitely out of the qestions, and realm, for me. It doesn't make sense for them to charge anywhere near $300.00 (I know, this highly speculative). The mold is not only for the VF-19 Blazer, exclusively. While on the other hand the Yen to Dollar exchange would be the only reason for the exhorbitant price increase.

Sign me up for one. When do requests for payment begin?

Hey TY, You forgot about me. I would like a 1/48 set, too. Thanks, NB4M

I ordered two sets and must say, these are very crisp and well detailed. I have yet to attach them to any 1/48. Hopefully around Thanksgiving I can place these on a 1/48 Yammie and see what they look like. I'll post pictures when I get a chance.

TV accurate. Yamato shouldn't have ever considered compromising. As a supporter of Yamato goods, I feel a bit insulted.

The first two options are the only valkyries I have completed. The remaining three, well, I'm just not into to those. While I do have one or two from each of the three, I as never impressed to continue collecting them.

Just ordered two sets. Can't wait to get started with my Hase and Yammie.

Newca, I have been waiting for your set. It's great to know it is finally here. I am definitely picking these up for my Hasegawa(s). Kudos!!
