i've been here befor the MPC and even the yamato 1/60 line cames out.
in fact, like robodog562000, i first news robotech, in 85 ... then i 've seen macross plus on tv and, searching about macross stuff, i've found the yamato 1/72 YF-19 on HLJ, macrossworld and robotech.com.
On RT.com i've been bannish 'cause i'm talking about macross stuff and not RT.
I've descover the 1/60 yamato line here, long before toynami launch his 1/55 line. Then yamato launch his 1/48 line (thanks god).
So, for me, it's impossible to take a MPC 1/55 for a 1/48 .... And i'm surprise when i'm reading such things. How could you take a piece of crap for a real master piece like the 1/48 .
The only explanation is that it's the Robotech label.
