Elint color might look cool or just use a different green instead?

Will you build it straight or with a custom scheme?

if one is to strip the gold of this, any recommendation on a custom scheme?

is premium finish for 1J even announced?

You should check Xigfrid Profile. He is cooking something related to your wish list.

SV-262 must be that rare DX toy that is always available weeks or even months after release date

Thanks Xigrid. Looking really good.

yes, based on that completed auction link as well as some listing in Jungle and Mandarake over the year

title corrected.

more reference file, the PACSWS-1G Design is indeed the looker among the set.

I am referring to the stand-alone kit. Since it looks like this action is reactive to the KO news.

so I guess they will be officially releasing the SS parts as well?

Looks like it is August and December release.

if anyone wants human-like heads, they are free to look at the VF-19kai.

Hi Everyone As everyone knew, the newer DX toys are coming out with a hardpoint already as part of the design. This lead to the inreased price of the Armor Parts of the VF-171 (while the General machine is preferred since it comes with a pair of Reaction missile and a pair of Fold weapon missile). I do feel that the missile in the armor part looks out of place since these are the same design used in Macross Zero. From my observation, there has been a lot of request and there has been speculation that Bandai "might" release a add-on pack. Unfortunately, years have gone and we never really got one. I have been talking to @Xigfrid lately on having to release AMM-101 (similar design in the Hasegawa 25 kit) release a model for shapeway. I think he is almost done with the modeling of the Missile but still have yet to work on the weapon pylon part. This thread will be used to discuss on the improvement on the 3D file Xigrid is requesting for further revisions on how it will be easier to complete the model and maybe further missile request. I am attaching the photo's shared by @jvmacross as reference.

I can easily see that it will be prone to breaking since it is thin

the joint is too short to allow it.
