Those look almost exactly the same. I wouldn’t be surprised if they used one to sculpt the other. Both released near the same time frame. Possibly, even similar sculptors of the time.

NSFW. 😜

You should see the other guy. Counting down the days.

Hikaru: “Not again! I thought we were training.” Britai: “Yes. Next time we train, I will keep your breastplate.” Hikaru: “You suck.”

Wow, that was quick. And a very nice build. Are you using an airbrush or rattle cans? Nevermind - I just looked at the set up behind your Orguss GERWALK.

Will this be a straight build and paint plan? Or will you be adding a few touches? Very cool.

Thanks for playing.

Chunky Monkey custom.

Thank you. Can’t wait to see you finish those Orguss kits.

Good Lord! I’m off customizing more and you guys are over here hitting out of the park with some amazing 3D work, model, and figure painting. Great work everyone! Do You Remember this scene. JF for comparison. Note anything different??

Tell me about it. I was just surprised this listing even existed. I paid almost nothing for these poster. Maybe the artist is an industry professional, not sure.

Not quite. The VF-1C was an intended VF.

That’s the VF-1C. Nice. The kit is labeled as the VF-1D. The version of that head makes an appearance in Macross Design Works and possibly in SDF-M in grey. The 15th anniversary VF figures also had this unique head found on the Super VF-1D GERWALK, but not in the Battroid. 🧐 https://anymoon.com/blog/?p=5625 Very cool.

Absolutely stunning! Is the head the standard VF-1D type or is it the VF-1C? It’s hard to tell. Can’t wait to see your next projects. 😍

This might help a bit more. Litardi - Takatoku - Litardi.

Thank you. No matter how refined we get, we always learn something new.

That build is looking great! I never new the glue could be removed from old decals. Always figured they would be ruined once you water to them. Thanks for the great tip! Did you apply Decal Setter? Or another adhesive to make the decals stick? Great Build.

The mostly white missiles only exist in DYRL. The red accent missiles are for SDFM. The color coincide with the bombs.

Neither did I. It was mostly present in the the Imai kits. This could have done inadvertently. Hopefully @Mr March could chime in and provide more light. I will add, Mr. March does extensive readers h to provide these profiles.

There is always good reference on Macross Mecha Manual. This is for TV versions.

I just came across this listing on eBay? Not mine, but interesting enough. Who is John Gaydos!

you’re on the right track. 😜

A humongous shout out to Greg, a very special friend and collector. Thank you!

All these Takatoku (Made in Taiwan) have several distinct features. When hunting VFs you can spot they are different by just looking at the nose section. See if you can spot this and other unique features. Sorry these are in channel lock bags. But you can still find clues. Have fun.
