Okay, with the 1/55's back, I'm back in the game! I'm definitely going to get the Hikaru VF-1J because of the added heatshield and most definitely the Super Max VF-1A. As for the Skull and reissue of the reissue 2002 Hikaru VF-1A, I'm not too sure of at this moment.

Yeah, we talked about it a couple of years ago. I think I'm the one who brought this bootleg to his attention. I have more pictures somewhere that shows the LED light on. You can actually see the round black button on the nose in the picture I've provided. It's almost the exact same quality as the $5 carded bootlegs with the exception of the LED, VF-1A head and the removable heatshield/clear canopy. I think there was one guy on these boards that lived in Shanghai who had bought one and was talking about possibly buying them in bulk and offering them here, but that never happened.

I've spent the last few years trying to obtain one of these with no success. So I'm just wondering who if anyone here actually has this version? If you have it, when where did you get it from?

Yeah, the Yamato's are extremely nice but their impact and wow factor probably won't last for 20 years like the Takatoku 1/55 design has. The market is just too competitive now for them to stay top dog for long.

No, I just don't have the time. My time limits me and so I make the one's I want.

I've upgraded Classic's Cliffjumper. For those interested, I'm selling them url=http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=21679]here[/url].

I completely agree with you Skull-1. Kid K was one of the first customizers that got me into the hobby. There's just something special about taking a yellowed 20 year old toy and making it into an amazing work of art like this. Since we're going back maybe we need to dig up some of the great 1/55 customs from Jung and Rosario L.

Out of the 9 stripped valks, a few of them will become DYRL movie valks. As for the rest, I may actually offer them here for sale or trade. They're already stripped and I've already added resin heads and epoxy nose extensions to them that are a lot nicer than stock Bandai nose's. The only reason I'm thinking about doing this is because I'm going to also customize several reissue Hikaru VF-1A's that I have. There just aren't enough hours in the day.

Had a little problem with lighting in this one but it should be clear enough.

Sure enough. Here's the first picture retaken.

It's funny you should say that because I'm probably going to be auctioning off this one on eBay next week. I need the space. LOL! Besides, I have another in progress that I'll be keeping with my Bandai collection. Can't get enough of the 1/55's.

Finally, we've come to the end! A special thanks to Anasazi. Without his amazing water-slide decals, this custom would have never been completed. I sure am going to miss his work.

A closer look.

Only a few more to go!
