I can't wait to see the finished build.

As long as the pilot doesn't fall out I'm all good.

So what I take from that blog is that they are still working on the coloring as those pics are not the final ones (those are early tests, Mr. K mentioned he forgot the white stripe near the cockpit) and they are soon starting on the box art and packaging.

Bye bye $$$. Hello awesomeness! Payment sent.

They gotta be issuing ghosts in the future no? How are we gonna color match the slotted tanks if it's not included?

I think Amiami was 6240yen via EMS for 2 0D's

Good thing is that they're including new option parts for this release(hard point anti air missiles and leg conformal tank), hence they would be interchangeable with the 0D. Not sure if Focker's will get new hard point missiles, but most likely wing hardpoint propellant tank.

If they're popular enough, they should release the ghost and GBP separately, and then slightly retooled SV-51s.

The Yamato ones included those as well. Just grey/red missiles for the VF-0A and white/red (or yellowish like mine) ones for the 0S. The old Yamatos also had the slots near the feet too just not as open as the Arcadia . Maybe they was planning on doing one at that time too.

New big tab beside the intakes. Any hints?

The VF-0A on display at Wonderfest had those slots. Maybe to match the slots near the bottom inner/outer legs near the feet/thrusters? Hmmm... Maybe they can re-purpose the inner arm slots and wrist tab/slot for the armor. PWS-0X would be killer.

2000 yen less than the 0D. The D was 36800 before tax and discounts. Must Will get 3.

Hopefully this is still test shots and are still tweaking the colors. The other shot from Mr. K earlier had the same colors and he said they are still working on it (from what I could get from Translate).

Nope. Send me one and I'll test it out.

Of course the test might be more reliable when I get a stand, but I can check if it will lock in.

Fixed it for ya.

His smiley thingy ain't working. I think he wants to be a beta tester equivalent for a VF-25 renewal adapter... after he gets a stand and after you can figure out a way.

Thanks M'Kyuun for the research and confirmation. I had a moment of panic when I rotated the turret around. I figured it was ok, the sensor lens side didn't look like it was broken plastic. I just wanted to have some peace of mind.

Looks like I need to retake photos with the turret deployed.

Don't forget to add the "hardware" you just received! I wanna see those too!

a few pics of the work in progress, total length is 20 cm (1/60):

*snips*

Kudos to you. For the life of me I can't figure out how to use these programs

Thanks to DarrinG for quickly shipping and working with me on my order! Get some of his stuff before they're gone!

Thanks again for doing this! "Untwists DarrinG's arm"

One had Hikaru and the other one didn't? Or was it the grey one that had him? I know the white one doesn't have him.

That was a pretty tame auction. Will need to grab one of those A types in the future.

Awesome shots!

im sticking to my guns on this one! Personally I really love the color! Yes the super parts do break it up a bit but it still looks friggin sweet clean too!

But seriously though how cool does this look!

*snip*

Looks minty cool!

edit: Luca's valk reminds me of this. Pretty rare color around here.

Shouldn't would be more appropriate:

One of the designers must be a Robotech/Macross fan. Proprietary technology? like overtechnology?

I like that Battroid pose. Gonna use that one later.

Maybe because the VF-0 was a technology demonstrator for the VF-1 so it retained the modern fighter design cues. Also it ran a conventional fueled engine until they could get the nuclear ones. The VF-1 was what they learned from the VF-0 so they looked and said "we don't need this to be this size or we can put this more advanced equipment" and designed the plane from the ground up.

If you're talking about just how they look more modern versus the VF-1 then I'd say it's because the use of modern design methods allowed it to be more accurate than 80's drawings.

Edit:jvamacross summed up what I said above but I'm too slow to type and look at the recent replies.

If the background art had the head lasers forward it would kinda look like the Macross Chronicles pose. Oops, looks like Bandai got it down.

I think I'll get two. 1J the grey and 1J the white.

I guess they are still tweaking the colors. It's got the 0D's legs in the pic.

edit: It's half new half 0D from a couple posts above.

DarrinG said he used Gundam Marker Gm32 200 for the visor a couple of pages ago.
