Nice. They'll release them 1 per month just to make my wallet scream.

Thanks for the link. Love your avatar.

I forgot if it was blue. It's probably clear but just colored blue to give it shape. Most of the online pics of builds or colored pics I used as reference has it blue so I went with it. I like it that color anyway. I forgot to add that one thing you can do is use clear future on the inner part first to clear it up some, paint the inner parts of the eye, then dye it (or just clear Future the whole thing if you want it clear).

Thanks for the tip and links! Unfortunately I lost those 2 pieces that broke off. I'm gonna try and see if I can use some clear resin I got laying around to fill the smaller windows..
-
Awesome sculpt! Are you gonna recast it for sale later on?
-
Thanks for the info! I sanded down the canopy then gave it a coating of Future and it came out looking great! The only problem was that I broke the 2 smaller lens but I think I have a solution for that later: I wanted the lens to have a bluish tint so today I gave it another coating of Future with blue food coloring: I used Tamiya TS-8 Italian red over Tamiya fine white primer for the body color so here it is with a test fit to see how it looks though I still need to spray on another coat as I missed some spots:

You could fit 3 VF-1s on a Yeti in a detolf shelf. Dunno what the Detolf dimensions are but you could try using a Trident act stand. I've seen someone here with 3 VF-11s on it if I remember correctly.

Great pics Saburo! Surprised you still have cassette tapes around. Your custom radio mixes I presume? lol. My kids laughed when I told them I used to record the radio songs to make my own tape. -
Condolences to you and your family.

Just the markings on the Left intake/left upper thigh, cockpit area, and wingtips. Color bands on the tail fin , lower cockpit, and front of intake.

Build update: Let it sit in simple green for a few hours, scrubbed with a toothbrush, rinsed, then soaked overnight in soapy water. This morning scrubbed with toothbrush and rinsed again to let air dry. In the afternoon, started parts fitting then I noticed the clear eye lens. How many sections on it are supposed to be clear? I see the main lens and the upper lens. Are the 2 smaller ones that go on the sides supposed to be clear too? The 2 smaller windows and inner part of the eye are cloudy/unfinished. Did I do something wrong or is there a way to make it clear via sanding finer and finer grits of sandpaper followed by polishing?

Awesome to see another project from fellow MW members.
-
You could probably just file it down. Just take off the nose for better access.
-
Yup. I should've written "this kit and various other kits".
-
-
Similar request though for different kits: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=41487

Looks good! I'm also starting out with modding and modeling stuff.
-
I must have this!

Where's the fold booster pod?
-
Thanks Xigfrid! The package arrived! Will work on this one a little at a time while working on another project. Initial impressions: Very nicely packed inside. Love that resin smell. It feels like its got some heft. Depending on your skill level, you can either build it straight outta the box or refine it some more as it looks good as is to me (noob level builder here). This is the unpainted one without gears (checked box has gears) Parts breakdown (some are partial assembled)

Too bad the Intro scene has text. Here's 2 from the Delta page that maybe Saburo could use. The background is transparent: A little bigger Keith 262
