  1. Nice! I love Macross II mecha design more than any other Macross mecha (other than VF-1). Unfortunately, there are many willing to pick up the tab of making more Across II models or toys. Sorry Mr Kawamori.
  2. With the 48,000 yen price tag for DX YF-21, I wonder what would be the price for this. I won't be surprised if it is more than 50,000 yen. It'll still sell like hot cake though.
  3. With the YF-21 DX pushes the price to 48,000yen, I wonder what the price will it be as Arcadia always has a much higher price tag.
  4. Has the DX VF-1A ever comes out with the brown one? The last I see is the Angel Bird scheme.
  5. Just got this one from Mandarake too. The price is good. My impression is that the overall quality is a drop compared to the VF-31. I'm not sure how it fair compared to other VF-31AX as this is the only one I have. The grey upper intake is molded in grey and the quality of the plastic looks cheap. Overall, many areas are a tad loose and some areas are overly tight. But the tabs in the wings fit properly to the legs in fighter mode though.
  6. It's a very nice figure and surprise that no one attempted Omnibots until now. I've got mine but it has some QC issue, one of the feet is very loose.
  7. It's a mixed from Hasegawa 1/72 VF-11B Super Thunderbolt and VF-11D. Instead of using the official colour scheme (beige and orange), I decided to use the colour scheme (white and orange) from Yuji Kaida box art, which decidedly gives a more striking look. The original Yuji Kaida's box art
  8. Thanks all. I left out a few transparent pieces in the first few pics. I didn't even realize it until I placed it on the shelf 😄. Now it's more complete.
  9. I decided to do a more 'realistic' VF-11D than the fancy colour one. The weapons are a mix from my stash.
  10. A modified F/A-18F canopy
  11. Hasegawa has never and probably will never make a two seater for YF/VF-19 as it's not official. Two seater VF-19 only exists in VF Master File. Obviously it needs some work on the canopy area. The good thing for Hasegawa 1/72 VF-19 kit is that it comes as a full size two seater, and it comes with second seat and pilots. that alone saves me a lot of work. I used a 1/72 F/A-18F canopy for this mod. The canopy was rather long. I ended up extending the rear pilot tub a fair bit. Despite sanding off some of the base of the canopy, it's still too wide for the VF-19 body. I have to add 1mm strip on both side of the body and some putty for the aft section. I suspect a 1/72 SU-27UB canopy would be a better fit. It will also gives a more prominent raised body style. Anyway, I've got to make do with what I have and it turns out not too bad.
  12. Wow! This is the worst part-forming I've seen. Even the old Bandai 1/100 VF-19 doesn't have that many parts to remove/replace.
  13. I won't be surprised it'll take that long.
