Okay, where were we, special thanks goes out to Shawn for this great new board - he'll be transfering the other pages to this thread so that we can have 1 complete thread for this model

This is an easy kit to put together, not too many pieces, as you can see here, all the main assemblies is put together in 3-4 hours. The sanding and finishing is the difficult part. You can see that this kit includes a fairly detailed cockpit tub for a 1/100 scale model. I wish it were 1/72 scale - this model is a bit on the small side.

I'm mostly an aircraft man - I love sleek lines. That being said, Macross has been my weak spot and I have quite a few of the older IMAI/ARII/Bandai kits purchased way back in high-school.

I remember getting 8 boxes of that ARII 1/100 scale trasformable valkyrie for a $1.99 cdn - which is practically free in USD.

I do try to collect 1/72 scale now with the new Hasegawas - minimum of two each (one to build right away - next 75 yrs) and one to keep and savour over time to eventually build (or be buried with). I doubt I would ever sell these kits, they are not a collection for investment - but I would love to help out in terms of scans or what ever is needed here. There might be the odd sell - but I don't even have them all in one place yet?! let alone properly inventoried after all my school moves.

I hate only scraping to afford the Hobbbyfan re-casts then only to find out the Hasegawas put out better kits of the same things. Here's to hoping that they put out a 1/72 VF-4 before I breakdown and try to get that resin re-cast.

Thanks again for this model section - but I still love your toy section...

Hey everybody - hello, hello, hello...

I'm back

Did everyone have to re-register? I couldn't get in with my old username and password. <_<

I sure would like to get my address book and archived PM messages back.

Additionally, this seems like a great section to post models and such - but could someone move over my thread that I started on the 1/100 Bandai Yukikaze FRX-00 Mave. I've done a lot in the last week and would like to update it to that thread.

Lastly, any news on Anastazi's water slide decals for the 1/48 scale toys?

Here's a little teaser of where I am at right now.
