  1. Thank you, everyone. I would do the same whenever I would travel. Take pics on take off and landing. It was always amazing to see how everything worked. An updated 1/20 would be amazing to have these details incorporated. I am sure they could create a more elegant solution on such a large scale.
  2. That is the great part of Jetfire. There are so many out there that they can be customized into anything Macross.
  3. Finally, fully functioning surfaces on wings. Ladies and gentlemen we flapping in space. Now on to next part…
  4. Check all the proxy sites for Yahoo Japan. Buyee is a great option. Good Luck.
  5. Ok. This better be an illusion…How did they make the stripe wavy? Or is this the shape of the leg?
  6. Some of those panel lines are all kinds of odd. Look at the flaps on the wings and those on the vertical stabilizer.🤨
  7. They are, but they usually go for good money. You can always get a slightly used VF-1 with all documentation, stickers, and accessories included for a decent price.
  8. Open it. It’s too interesting to leave in packaging.
  9. Yes. Yes I am. 😁 Testing how it will look and work. And perform. The peak will be around 40-45 degrees. Not bad at all. And each will perform independently.
  10. That is looking incredible. Do you remember if Sharon Apple was floating or was she on a mobility cart of some sort?
  11. Yes sir. it’s a fun build. Keeps me entertained.
  12. My bad. I totally forgot about this. Time to get back to work. It’s what I get for opening old pics of customs.😅
  13. There is plenty of room. It’s just how you approach them. Using 1.2 mm rod makes it possible. Plus the way these trailing flaps are made they allow parts to move without issue. Who knows, maybe one day I might do this for a 1/48. And check, in 2011.
  14. Actually, I thought about them but they don’t show up in the line art. It wouldn’t have been hard to add them in but they’re just not there. These details began to appear in Master Files books and Hasegawa kits so while they could have been there sooner I think I’d rather leave these out. 😉
  15. Finally, fully articulated wings! Yay!!!
  16. It’s a pretty straight forward disassembly. You shouldn’t experience any problems.
  17. I’m trying the best I can to bring in a lot of new ideas but trying to remain respectful of the original design. My goal is to be able to see it at a glance and people say “hey, that’s the Valkyrie I used to have as a kid!” But when they look at closer it is but at the same time it isn’t. Just my humble take on an update. Much love for this old 1/55.
  18. Thank you. And they work great.
  19. Got a little more done. Extending flaps and each move independently. Really enjoy the look of the new vertical stabilizers.
  20. Wish I had the wheel for you. Why not just scratch build it? Thanks for heads up on the mechanisms for the vertical stabilizers. I was just wrapping that up today. Installing the hinges tomorrow.
  21. You guys are killing out here with all these amazing builds. The PlaMax VF-1J Battroid kit looks really good. Here’s the progress thus far on my old school retake 1/55.
  22. That is truly interesting. The toys that were released with a blue molded canopy also had the same removable canopy. But for some odd reason there is no clear canopy to swap out for fighter and GERWALK modes.
  23. It actually was shown in SDFM.
  24. A most magnificent masterpiece if I ever saw one. Excellent work everyone involved.
  25. This was all I could find at the moment.
