well alot of the aircraft designs in macross are from the early 80s so i doubt he used the Mi-28 Havoc or Su-25 Frogfoot for it since very little is published or known about it that time.

IMO the Commanchero is based on the Hind obviously, the Avenger II maybe a Fairchild T-46/Saab 105 and the Tunny looks like a lengthen C-14 airlifter.

And he just loves to give them downward pointing winglets.

Every time I look for Destroids I only find them in 1/100 scale.

Can anyone point me to the 1/72 variety?

The 1:72 scale Destroids are getting harder & harder to find on Ebay (or anywhere else for that matter). Generally run $75 on up, tho' I've seen them go for $50 accasionally.

Big Question.

Poseable or Fixed?

Poseable would be limited , nothing like the big boys can produce .

Fixed would be in a action pose. nothing stiff.

I'm cool with either, but I would lean toward fixed. I just seem to find that I don't move my models ...so if its a good pose I'd be fine with it...course if you make it poseable I can always build it fixed. Price would (I think) end up being a big deciding factor.

Well my vote ( and from what I've been reading in this forum I think many others' vote also) would be for a 1/72nd VF-2SS in either fighter or Battroid mode, whichever you prefer.

This is what I was thinking of choosing from.

I haven't seen one of these.

Wow someone's in love with Macross2, I've never seen that defender either but it's pretty cool looking. The 2nd and 3rd links you list is the VF-2ss of which a fighter version has been done but not a 1/72 batroid version. Not that familiar with the rest of those.

The one you picked looks like a bad guy though which are in short supply in toys & models so that'll be great!

Yeah Macross II has an ending that would satisfied most destroid fan boys out there. Lots of upgraded Defender, Phalanx, Tomohawk and even Monster type destroids blasting as countless zentraedi units.

The purple one is the commander type battle pod, the green one is supposedly the upgrded version of the N-Ger.

The Gloria battleship is cool kinda like the Gatchaman ship.

I'd love to see more Macross II stuff. If you like the 2SS you may want to check out the VF2J! Very cool, and not currently available in 1/72 in battroid or fighter.

I have the 1/100 kits of the VF2J Fighter and Battroid and the 1/100 kits of the VF2SS Battroid and variable Fighter, as well as the 1/72 VF2SS if any of these would be a help.

I say go with the Zentraedi Power Suit. There are way to few bad guys out there. Personally, I like limited poseable. I build all my mecha fixed-pose, but poseable kits mean way more diorama possibilities.

Alright, it's not 1/72 or "big scale," but I'm building a VC-33 "Mom's Kitchen in 1/200th if anyone cares. I'm tying to cast it in multiple copies for my 1/200th Daedalus. It's a whopping 3" long!

Wouldn't that be 2.24 meter's in length?

I think he was talking about the VC-33 being 3 inches long.

" = inches

' = feet

anyway, the conpendium lists 488m for the Deadalus, so it should be more like 2.44, not 2.24.
