wud love to buy the grace version....by the way received my brera sterne's lucifer yesterday....

jarowar, if u happens to sell the vf-0a/s with ghost, please pm me....purchasing on behalf of a friend

hi all, i,ve been wanting to post this for quite sometime now but was caught up with work...been very bz....and still bz today!!! so i'll post pictures only...comments, suggestions r welcome....will try to answer any inquiries ASAP.... here's the pics...

booster's inner exhausts... someclose-up details...

in fighter mode, the lucifer looks better without the guncannon....hmmmm

kits with cartograph decals, e.g. vf-1d tv edition with PE(the new release), vf-1a 'vf-2 sonic birds', vf-1j super valk 'svf-41 black aces'. these r kit which i bought lately, the decals r completely better in quality compared to those older versions like vf-1j hikaru, vf-1s, ve-1 elintseeker, vt-1 superostrich. u can check the description from hlj http://www.hlj.com/product/HSG65780 http://www.hlj.com/product/HSG65782 http://www.hlj.com/product/HSG65781

hi vifam, there r two types of decals in hasegawa vf-1 model kits, one is fragile which can be found in the older vf-1 model kits. the other version of decals in the newer vf-1 version by cartograph is a lot stronger and durable plus easier to handle. i wud say all depends on ur patience and skill to handle those decals. if i were to do the canopy i wud go for the decals. reasons, less messy, u can get sharper canopy frame edges compared to paintings or airbrushing.....and faster (at least for me....from my past experience building the vf-1). tips, always use the Mr. MARK SETTER plus Mr. MARK SOFTER from mr. hobby. It does make a big difference. hope this does help....

i envy you.....greatest work there, really hope SSM would rerelease the LV.

micky, i see u have some sort of thingy that closed the openings shown in ur last 2 pics, does that piece comes with the super pack kit? coz i cant find it anywhere in my super pack kit....

u did this in 3d? what software or format did u use? very interesting....great work....as miriya suggest, u should print this on 3d, give some preview or review...this will sell totally. awesome.

insyir4h, i bought the alcladII at Hobby HQ. they did supply alclad n u can order any alcladII variant colors. thanks to all for ur kind words ....need to finish the cockpit canopy + a bit touch-ups here n there.

sweet....any useful tips on how u paint the missile pods? really looks great....

congratulations!!!! great + clean + nice job there....no worries, i'm an amatuer too, as long as u keep up and try to do better, u will definitely be a master modeler one day....at least that is my dream . keep up the great work

do u have any completed HBR vf-11 pics...never seen one. by the way how much wud u sell if u r going to do a recast?

almost finish....

THE CONCEPT 1)i like roy focker + 2)unfortunately he died b4 the atmospheric-booster were even built + 3)i love the atmospheric booster + 4)he's an ace pilot + 5)ace pilots frequently assigned for test flight/experimenting prototypes like isamu dyson + guld bowman = i'm thinking of building this vf-1S as an experimental program for the atmospheric booster with roy focker as the test pilot. enough with the theory, here r some pics from the build-up progress.... in between the two boosters engine is the thermo-nuclear reactor with some cooling tower and propellant. those are kit bashing from an old eva shield (dont know which eva, my friend sold off all of his junk/leftovers/brocken model in bulk to me for a very reasonable price...) i thought since this is the experimental project, might as well put all the accessories as i see fit.... air intake/vents to cool of the boosters. some detailing probably service hatches. those small holes marked with red r for the booster's lights (well not that i'm gonna put in LEDs or real lights....just some leftovers clear sprues). parts being primed using mr. pimer white 1500 grit the booster's base(or whatever u call it) being painted with alclad II ALC112 the vf-1S after being painted with Tamiya xf-1 flat white and for the grey parts with Tamiya xf-1 mix with a few drops of xf-20 medium grey. decals been applied after a few layers of tamiya clear coats. cockpit interior... the gun pod... most of the parts being painted and decaled booster's base color Tamiya xf-53 neutral grey launch pylon + booster painted and shaded plus some basic decals detailing parts for the launch pylon. paints to be use for the boosters i painted the boosters with mr.metal color #214 dark iron...notice the rough/bumpy surface. mr.metal color is said to shine after polished with polishing compound the results + a layer of alclad II ALC112

petar, since u have the club-M vf-11 why not if u do a recast?....just a suggestion

same here, i would prefer the club-M version of the vf-11...if anyone's planning to do a recast, count me in for 2 sets

i bought the alto armored last week and on hold, currently im building the g version suppermessiah....but still havent got the time to upload the progress pics...

looking great so far...

LUCKY YOU! i've been searching around for this kit but no luck at all .

petar, did u already bought ur vf-11 kit?

great work there greg...i wonder if u r gonna pair it with the max jenius' blue version..hmmmm...i wud love to see both side by side

i second u schizophrenicMC. i've checked with overdrive-inc.com, they quoted USD91 for a kit + the movie ticket(which is useless for me i think). will bandai rerelease the kit separately after the release of the movie? or is this kit really a limited edition?

anybody knows where to buy this on-line?
