I have five of the 1/48's Roy, Max, Hikaru, Kakizaki and a CF VF-1A. 4 sets of 1/48 fast packs. Though the 2 seat versions were never made, I can live without that, Since I was about 9 y/o in 1985 when I first saw DYRL, I always wanted these particular Valkyries, I have them and will never let them go. The new Chunky my rear end!!
The detail is fantastic, I admit the chicken hands blow which is why I bought recasts instead. I've transformed these guys tons of times and have never has a single part break or a piece crack, So much like MacrossMan I am sold on these guys.
Will I ever buy the 1/60 V.2, sure I will in time, can't pass up the VF-1D, VE-1 & VT-1.
And as for the weathered $300.00+ aged/weathered 1/48's go, I'll learn to use an Airbrush machine!!!
