505thAirborne

Well if you don't want to do Blue, you can always give it a VF-1D paint scheme.

That looks awesome Talos, Be great if you had a VF-4 to apply it too!!

Those are amazing customs nylcbv!! Weathering is great and the color schemes are spot on, I like the red one with FP's good match!!

I think MICKEY SCYMON was the pilot that day!!! Shin had the day off!! the 25th Anniversary versions were ok, but the gold pin striping didn't do much for me.

Well said!!

I'm sure they'll make one in 1/60 or if lucky enough in 1/48 scale one day. I always wanted one of these as far back as 1985, I've waited this long, I wait a little longer!! Hopefully with a well detailed Ichijo figure & Landing gear!!

I still have two VF-0A kits and a 0S I have not built, when I actually have time. I'm doing the All black Playboy Bunny scheme on one of mine!!

I saw those Tomcats a few times at the Van Nuys, CA Airshow in 97-98 ( I'm pretty sure), definitely before 9/11 when security went ape-$hit!! As the pilots were leaving they kept raising & lowering their front landing gear like they were bowing, Then took off at full afterburner. One regular pass, one inverted!! Good times!! Surprised no one has tried this color scheme for any Valk.

Actually your idea is a pretty good one, especially is Yamato is worried about making a profit on it, All gimmicks are a good one!!

Since people are getting & watching the Caprica DVD's and hopefully not giving any Spoilers out, Time for the official thread to be used!!!!!!!

Not sure, haven't see the DVD's yet!!

Hopefully its an updated design/new sculpt with improved details (If possible, its Hasegawa after all). Working landing gear would be great!!

Macross Frontier toys made by Yamato, its no longer just a dream, could happen!! And I'll be saving up for it too!!

I think we all are, but parts of the costume must be real, no faking!!!

So would you say getting the DVD is worth it? I'm very tempted to do so!!

I would agree that retooling and building a toy from the ground up is costly, but kinda creepy to think the Spartan would not be a money maker for Yamato. Probably the best of the destroid designs (Next to the Tomahawk) and the only one Hikaru ever piloted!! (An kicked some A$$ with!!)

Glad to know someone else likes the VF-2JA design!! If they are popular in Japan, I'm not too sure, but for the wrong reasons Mac II got a really really bad reputation and hence the mecha designs have been dumped on a bit!! But everyone is cool to have their own opinion!! Fortunately "Ghost Train" I don't think the SAP rail gun would ever be used in the atmosphere, or the Pilot would be chewed out by superior for that!! But I say again, WHERE IS MY 1/60 VF-0D & VF-4 YAMATO?????

None taken, but its amazing how so many of other Valk's get even a chance to be appreciated and yet this one is just a WTF? in some peoples eyes.

1/60 Scale VF-2SS + SAP. Bandai will never make one, So let YAMATO do it and make it Accurate!! You know you'd want one Canon or no Canon!!

I like the YF-19 schemes, they look good ( a Low Vis all grey scheme would be cool) but I'm sold on that VF-22!! The Canopy design is the selling point for me, Color scheme is great too!!

Max's VF-1S looks amazing!! Getting one for sure next month!!

I never get bored looking at the update pics MT, Looks awesome so far!!

The 1/48 will remain king for me, I have now both Hikaru's VF-1S in both scales and with fast packs. Hands down the 1/48 is my favorite, size & durability!! It just looks so much more aggressive & deadlier! Oddly enough of all my 1/48 Valks, I've never had the wing-flaps or Airbrake come off or get super loose!! The 1/60 is nice, super poseable, detailed, its big plus of more tampo printing and in scale with my Zero & Mac Plus toys, but thats not an issue for me, Bigger is better!! And if NB4M were to make anymore 2 seater 1/48's I'll get one from him!!

I have 4 VF-0B (2 Seater) kits, each one has the Macross Zero logo on the decal sheet. But for what ever reason the other kits do not have it.

Such an amazing mecha design and well built kit!! Now we just need a 1/60 version with SAP and we're set!!
