I am going to stay away from that clear version like the plague. The Pro-modeler VF-25 and the Hasegawa Clear VF-1's taught me that I really really really hate clear plastic parts

The VF-1d fighter has always been Limited edition, but it has come back several times because I guess it's popular. It'd be nice if the Gerwalk also gets reissued as well.

I NEED MORE DISPLAY SPACE

I have enough super parts I'll just convert all four of my DYRL team to Strike-configs. With the 4 super parts fronts I'll just slap those on the M&M for a more canon green look.

Actually that green Tyrant 2000 has a tag, you can see a tiny bit of it to the left. It was also featured in the initial teaser photos a while back. I just really want the entire TV line including the helldiver, peacemaker, Hannibal, bulldog, saturn, AVS Econo 1/2, griffin, brocken and maybe if we're lucky labor X, Python and CLAT Ingrams I really love how the Ingrams are posed like they are on the Alphonse Special Pack, which was the Bomb back when I was in Grade School Some footage of the display

I use Flory's model wash for all my panel lining, followed by an acryl clear coat. Flory's is the bomb. It's clay based and flows super well. Simply brush it on, then after dry gently clean up the mess with a wet paper towel. It is way safer to use than traditional solvent-based washes which could harm the delicate paint bandai uses http://www.florymodels.co.uk/

Ever wondered what our Naked DXes would look like with missiles, like they do in Macross 30? I always wanted to do a mod since the VF-25 in canon doesn't have any internal missiles whatsoever. Luckily, I have an abundance of weapon parts and YF-25's so I gave it a shot. I figure you can use Kurisama's hardpoints for easier weapon swapping but I decided to just trim the pylons down, get a pin-vise and pin each set of missiles to the wing for a super secure connection.

OOOOOhhhh Ingram Unit 1,2,3 + Command Car. Judging by the panel on Unit 2's leg the pistol storage door opens. Phantom Tyrant This line better do well so that we can see the Helldiver, AV economies, Saturn, Peacemaker, Griffin.... maybe the Bulldog and hannibal too?

If they make another pass on the CF VF-171 maybe they can fix the canopy mold. In the Cartoons the canopy is more round and flows with the lines of the nose for a smooth, beautiful silhouette The DX'es canopy juts out and breaks the silhouette

This fig is an insta buy. Robot Damashii has been a pretty solid line the last 5-6 years and I also don't have any TV-ver ingrams

New or Used the early supers will pop off like hell. The Also and Ozma Super Armors have a retarded Thigh design that just holds on with two teeny weeny nubs while the Later Super parts use the same intake snap-in like the armored parts.

Look at the fighter mode sprue. I can hear the screams of modelers who try to clip off piece #5. Those fins be crazy

If you have the pro-modeler VF-25F and you've never built a VF-25 Kit before, I would shelve the kit and buy a standard release first. Reason being, the pro-modeler is molded in clear plastic and clear plastic in general is much more brittle and less forgiving than polystyrene. Even the clean-up of each piece is stressful as clear plastic doesn't cooperate so well with clippers and knives. Sanding also requires multiple grades in order to remove nubs and blend and buff them into the clear plastic. Also, the decals are VERY unforgiving. You will need to coat parts of the interior ABS with a gloss clearcoat otherwise the decals will just wrinkle and slide right off. As for the regular VF-25 Release, it's way easier due to how forgiving regular polystyrene is. You still need to be SUPER careful though, because the joints and moving parts are all thin and fragile ABS and once ABS breaks it's really a pain for most people to make a clean and stable fix. Here are some examples of the regular VF-25's I built for fun like almost 8-9 years ago. Again they are nice looking models but not toys. Also, if you happen to want some standard VF-25 Ktis, the armored Version or even the Limited Edition YF-25's, I have some for sale still Here

That wont happen until a certain company no longer can have legal claim to the macross name and block macross products outside of japan

We really need to stop posting pictures of other products in all these threads. If it were a side by side I'd understand but it's getting a little out of hand now ;0

I used to have the entire set. All of them interlock and each set includes different factory gizmos. WHen you interlock them the rails also interlock so the gizmos can go down the entire "line" of factory stands. They also include little figures too, but they are obviously not to scale as all the macross models in this line are like 1/170th and the proportions are all very crazy 80's

Removing the Itasha would be 10x easier for sure but it's a little bit more expensive since the maruyama is still around 20,000 for the set, while I can source the alto and supers together for around 15500. If I ever add more to the Fleet I'll prolly go the maruyama route since it's just a simple tampo removal and then painting just a backplate.

I know the feeling. Generic armored parts would be awesome. Back in the day Alto Armored parts were dirt cheap because there were no reissue VF-25 renewals back then and nobody liked the idea of paying 300+ bucks for an Alto 25F I made a set of custom parts from those and use them on either my VF-25G, YF-25 or VF-25A depending on my mood

Really looking forward to these kits. I won't be building them up as Delta Squadron, I'll get the DX'es for that. I really hope the Draken includes clear canopy like the VF-27 Kits, Renewal DXes and the Gimix Draken.

We're visiting family in Japan. I saw this in a used toy shop. Loose Alto YF-29 with Super Packs - 19800 Yen Loose RVF-25 with Super packs and Ghost - 14800 yen Loose Isamu YF-29 with Super Packs - 14800 yen Wife just bought all three for my Birthday.

i doubt they will re-release it. They rarely reissue limited edition decal kits I agree though the Black Aces kit is AWESOME

Thankfully I fixed it with plasticweld. I keep it in naked battroid just to be safe. On a different note, I finally got to painting the hip pieces on my YF-25 Super. Was getting so sick of the Blue hips breaking up the orange.

All the renewals are totally fine. I've had some displayed for over 3 years without any issues. I do have one VF-25G with a broken wing joint though, but that's only because scumbag cat knocked it over :0

I'm curious how the legs fold out the sides like that in cruiser mod. At least it's not as half-assed as the macross Quarter though transformation, if the DX toy was any indication.\ I still wish somebody would make Battle 7 and Battle Frontier. I love the design and how closely resemble each-other.

Different kits for Different folks. Some people actually enjoy the snap-together toy-kits
