Glad I waited, this is the only 1/100 VF-1 I plan to buy. Well, I'll also get Hikaru's VF-1S Strike if it's available and not an exclusive. We need clearer scans

Branprestos are good for torturing them

Sticker them, at least the essential markings!!! The only valks I didn't sticker are the YF-21, VF-22's and the VF-11B (they come with the macross kite tampoed on!!).

Thank you!!! My wallet will hate me, I'll probably end up getting TV Roy too

That's great,we'll get to see a new sculpt!!! Thanks for the news!

Can somebody post pictures posing it next to Roy's DYRL? VF-1S? I don't like the TV bubble hands so I'm trying to convince myself that the change in color and the black arrow on the head justify getting this version. Already have Roy's DYRL? Strike and his weathered VF-1S.

I'm on the same boat as you!!! It's starting to grow on me. I'll also show support buying it, to convince Yamato that the VF-17 is an absolute must!!!

Thank you sir!!! On a more serious note, we can clearly see that Bandai added detents to the arm joints so we shouldn't have the floppy syndrome that plagued the Yamato version!!

Congrats, your custom turned out great!!!! Clean nice looking paintjob too!!!

Where's the panic button!!!

Yes, folding and "sliding" the nosecone down gives more clereance and prevents the chestplate dragging across the nosecone.

1/60 Regult goodness I want to see how the prototype is coming along. VF-17 as a surprise, like the did years ago with the SV-51 (there were no CAD images nor announcement, straight prototype pics)!!!!

Great pics Froy!!! You're tempting me to get TV Roy! I thought it was enough with DYRL? Strike Roy and the weathered version but I think I'll add TV Roy to my collection.

Unbelievable!!! Octopus Paul was right again It should tell me the lottery numbers...

I'll put money on that bet too!!!

Thanks for sharing!!! Great build and diorama.

Brazil will loose!! I believe Argentina will win this World Cup (I have to believe in my team right?)!! Don't trust octupus Paul Argentina will beat the Germans!!!

You're right but the Schneeblume is not just a VF-1 reboot but part of the 2030's / 2040's Experimental Variable Fighter Program (according to Kawamori it's not part of the official series chronology for now). I mean it's not contemporary to the VF-1. This design could have been used as testbed for the VF-1 in Macross Zero but it was intended as an advanced fighter contemporary to the VF-17. Quoted form the Macross Compendium: "The United Nations Forces presented to every manufacturer the required specifications for SWX (Stealth Wing X), a programme to combine high stealthiness with air combat capabilities exceeding that of the VF-17. The United Nations Forces intended to assign the VF-17 the primary mission of long-range attacks, which would entail the need for a separate variable fighter for air superiority and defense. The SV-XA1 was created as an experimental plane for these required specifications. The VF-1 Valkyrie was chosen as the basis for the SW-XA1 due to the abundance of combat data during actual warfare. This base design was improved to current standards by equipping it with upgraded engines and avionics."

Awesome custom scheme!!! Great weathering too. Thanks for sharing your work.

Must get this kit!!!! It's my favorite VF We need a 1/60 VF-3000 made by Yamato (and a VF-4 too).

I hope you're right!!! Yamato must do the VF-0D.

Congrats, that's an amazing custom!!! So much work put into it

Listen to this man!!!

I've never seen that pic, thanks for sharing!!!
