    Don't forget an Automan car and Blue Thunder!

    As a newcomer to the line, I am becoming a huge fan, as well. My focus is a bit narrower, though (F-4, F-14, F-15, F-16, F/A-18....and if I ever come across F-22 or F-35).

    I was eyeing the Norn and Zaku....possibly the RX-78-2. But $200 seems a bit pricey.

    The final black pill.

    My many Sunstreakers breathe a sigh of relief. They shall ride out this plague care free.

    There may be better places to nab one, but ebay prices are generally in the low 500s before shipping. NY is up to 700.

    Almost makes me want to drop $1200 on a pair of Arads......almost.

    Always my favorite starship model. I remember building a couple of resin kits of this class back in the 2000-2005 range. My first and last experimentation with airbrushing. I've come to accept that - since childhood - I plainly suck at painting models.

    Me as well, but this case was just resolved by PayPal today (in my favor).

    Going on a month and I am still waiting for PayPal to resolve my case (timeline states that it should be resolved by 8/13).

    2nd YF-19 arrived along with the F-15 and F-4.

    I'm definitely going to grab some of that rubber stripping!
  14. Grimgerde
    I would not describe my method as optimal. I have a great seal all around, but the compromise came on the door edges, where - in order to get a seal - I needed to align the adhesive strips so close to the door that it interferes with a clean opening of the door. It doesn't prevent it, but it scrapes the strips. On one of my four cabinets things were particularly stubborn since the door-side glass warps out a bit. Also on that one I had to add another magnet to the top of the cabinet since the stock magnet was no longer strong enough to "latch" the door due to the strips. All my detolfs have a slightly different door snugness/ease of use. That was before the dust proofing, so I am not suprised each cabinet was slightly different with the door-edge stripping. On a positive note, the LED strips seem to adhere to that stripping far better than the glass of the detolf for some reason.

    Thanks! For the dust proofing, I used the adhesive strips (found at home depot for ~$3) that are meant for sealing the area between Window Air Conditioners and the window frame. Takes about 10 minutes to install once you have the door of the detolf off.

    The F-15C Eagle Oregon and the F-4J US version. I have a couple of the F-16s and F/A-18s bookmarked on ebay, but I will be out of the country towards the end of the month for a week, so I don;t want any orders arriving while I am gone.

    Started running the LED strips in my cabinets today. Dust-proofed them earlier this week. Both tasks could have been "cleaner. More valks on the way to fill up the shelves. But here is a progress shot.

    Rock and Roll! I have an F-4 and F-15 on the way. I'll be happy rounding out my set with the F-16, F/A-18, and the F-22 if I come across one.

    Sticking toe into the water of the AFC jets...
  20. Grimgerde
    Nice one! Definitely have this guy on my list for Santa.

    After spending the last 2 months tracking down multiple copies of most every valk I have my eye on (and missed out on the retail release of, during my 14 yr Macross hiatus), I am looking forward to being around for the actual retail release of one. Setting aside last year's 1J dx release, I think the last valk I purchased when it first hit retail was Max's 1/48 DYRL 1A from Yammie.

    Just let me know when I can pour myself a tall glass of merlot, start playing some Depeche Mode, and climb into a hot bathtub with a razor. Until that point, I will hold out hope!

    I'd be down for two of these, if the production version looks close to that. Thus the remaining purchase plans for new releases/preorders for the remainder of the year: 1)Ivanov 2)1-2 x VF-0D 3)Whatever the next DX 1/48 VF-1 is (as I assume the next one will be put up for preorder by the end of the year).
  25. Grimgerde
    Huh. Not what I would have guessed Arcadia would have tackled after the 0D, even if you would have gave me 5 guesses. Happy for those that have wanted this, though.
