Seriously, someone needs to make a VF-1D upgrade kit for the 1/48's! I know the Capt. made these but unless hes making more (Probably not) some else get cracking on it. Too damn awesome not to have one, every collection should!

505thAirborne replied to Jefuemon's topic in Model kits
That is one sexy bird!! Colors, attention to detail and the pilot look amazing, great job!! -
Same here, damn thing was supposed to be released already.

I got lucky finding an Orange that almost matches my VT-1/VF-1D, just slightly brighter but that beige is a spot on match (Thank you EXO) As for the Steel Pots in the background, those are soon to be painted orders for my customers. Pathfinder, 506th, MP's and Medics.

Thanks MT, I'll post more pictures in the morning, I think I'm pretty much finished with the outer body of the plane. Still parts to finish and then of course decals & clear coat. Pony Toy Go Round was at least a 4-5 times a year visit for me, good excuse for some great food, the museums & shopping (Cute girls down there too ) I do remember that 1/200 Monster (If anyone has a pic of it, post it), I used to drool over that thing, the stuffed animal section used to drive my cousin crazy, she'd go nuts for the huge Totoro's. We played it smart at just parked in the Yohan parking garage, it was pricey but at least you felt a bit safer. One of the posters I bought down there years & years ago was by artist Ken-ichi Sonoda "Fuse Box" man I'd love to have that one again. All those Macross, Mobile Suit & PATLABOR kits stacked high, truly a sight! Sounds like you came through skid-row before getting to Little Tokyo, pretty dodgy in that area.

That is awesome, and please post some Helmet pics!!

LMAO!!!

I thought it was upside down too at one point, sadly its a "quality" Monogram kit and that nosecone is off a bit (Bad mold). The next time I make a F-14 kit I'm spending the extra $$$ and getting a Hasegawa kit. I tried to straighten it out a little bit so its not as droopy.

Squadron 505 has your back Duymon!
-
Time to stop test fitting and start gluing her together, plus putty and touch up. Metal Landing gear, resin tires & resin Drop tanks as well are also being prepped.

Thanks everyone, thats a 1/48 scale Tommy next to a 1/60 VT-1. @MT Your son has excellent taste, then again he takes after dear old Dad with a 6ft Daedalus in the house, if I had a tiny Pacifico or Blue Moon beer bottle I would put in the RIO's hand.

I have a long way to go, but heres the beginning of my VT-1/VF-1D inspired Macross Tomcat.

Yep I noticed the rims went from Pimp to Ghetto back to pimp!!

Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII
505thAirborne replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Same here, lots of Blackhawks, Chinooks & KC-130's. The Occasional F-16, F-18 & A-10 Warthogs fly over too. The Joys of being near Ft. Riley & Forbes Airfield. -
I like this trailer better, I'll go see it. Won't be exactly like the book but a hell of a good time!!
-
Hmmm, not sure he might be. A while ago he told me he might have more of these pilots so when I saw them this time around... yoink, Buy it now!

Hey MT, yeah its always sad to know our girl got retired ahead of time. A Macross twist indeed and as for the pilots I got really really lucky. Probably the one seller I would recommend off Ebay "Daedalus Attack" emailed me and said he had 1/48 scale brass Macross pilots from the Club-M kit. They're probably a recast (Sorry I used the evil word) but their detail when painted, especially the helmets are really good. However getting them to fit properly in the cockpit is requiring some surgery on the control panels.

Starting to get some where with my Tomcat.

My finished 1/72 Bandai VF-25S Armored Messiah
505thAirborne replied to wm cheng's topic in Model kits
Epic build cheng, best looking VF-25S out there!! -
Gawk at these piles of Macross toys..Back in the day...

Low Vis. & Fast pack Heaven!! Thanks for posting these pictures Kevin, I remember ordering a handful of Valks from you back in the day, good times! -
Got my VF-25S Armored in the other day. Its a V.1 but in fighter mode and the overkill Armor I love it just the way it is! My VE-1 & VT-1 came along for the ride. I blame "wm cheng" ( In the greatest way possible) for this purchase, his 1/72 Model kit was so mind blowing I was like I must have one and I'm glad I do.

I said that out loud like 4 times... "Take the damn truck Dumbass"!

I think Milton will have his moment and as far as Woodbury's wall, they said the Titanic couldn't sink but....

Thanks MT, you must be a kid in the candy store with that new lathe!! Myersjessee, that is one frakking good looking Raptor. The display and detail are superb including that helmet! On a related BSG note, got the Blood & Chrome CD.... track 12!

Hey Wasabi, here are some extra pics of the customs I did. I forgot the 321 arms were broke too. I'm definitely saving up and getting a few of those 1/60 kits for customs. The old V.1's are just not that good. Also the heatshield emblem is the Bunny used on the VF-0A's.
