Interesting if it didn't have the graphics and Macross holograph sticker somewhere.

Awesome work there!

PM'd

I'm gonna call it. Lady M is Chuck's sister and she'll take over Delta 2 to get payback. Shoot, I don't even know her first name.

Erikos, does your VF-1D have both rainbow canopy and option parts? Didn't know it came with both.

Nice! I like that display stand too!

Welcome new members and returnees!

Big regult hanging face in shame. Lol!

Nice! Is that one of the Z soldiers custom?

I don't know if this will be a new pattern, but with one release a month hopefully some destroids will be out soon.

+1. Especially the Spartan.

That seller has a lot of "junk" level valks right now. Pretty good deals for if you wanna customize and can get it at a low price.

There is some junk level from this seller. This poor YF-21. I'm assuming instructions not included going by the pics

Thanks guys. Also thanks for telling me about that Xigfrid. I was scared that I'd break something if I pushed down too hard. As for the color, It's both lighting and paint . I guess the Tamiya gunmetal's color changes when viewed from different angles.

Can't wait to see pics of folks builds!

Last update. Thanks for reading.

I'm about 85% finished. Just need to wait for the stand adapters and new lenses that I ordered, glue the landing gear doors shut, put on the smaller kites, give it either a flat or semi gloss coat, and a few touch ups then done. For the big kite I gloss coated the white primer , then masked, then used grey primer, and reused the TS-8. For the exhaust I added smoke to the gunmetal. All in all it was a fun little build being this was my 1st time trying something like this. Learned a lot of new things and some things I would do differently next time. Big Mahalos to Xigfrid to even dare attempt to make this project a reality.

I think the cockpit doubles as a miclone chamber.

Tangent:

I noticed that the interval between the first and second planes veering off was longer than the same interval between the second and third, and third and fourth. Is the timing of that maneuver true to life?

Dunno but if Hayate didn't say anything then it's fine.

Nice. Need pics with the ground crew next.

Include the VF-1J head too and I'm sold.

Not much chance for that to happen.

Dunno if it helps

Would love to get a Walkure set

Looks great! Now I got something to reference for the exhaust. Is that the TS-85? That red looks nice. Too bad my LHS don't carry it in stock and they take forever to order.

Slowly getting there. Still needs more work done till I call it a day. Will paint the upper intake fin and bottom reactors gunmetal today. Getting the tail section to hold together while adding it to the main body is tricky for me as the bottom exhaust doesn't hold firmly to the upper housing. I might have to glue it or add some future for more friction.

Here are some pics with the boosters free standing:

I noticed in a couple episodes when this thing is flying in fighter mode, the gold highlights are hidden and then dramatically appear. What's that about? I couldn't tell if that was supposed to be significant somehow.

Probably something like active camo or something.
