Bandai 1/144 VF-11c

[TSP]

A small Bandai kit from Ebay. I think the detailing now are okay for this scale. Had to do a lot of changes to get away from the toy-look.

Already primered.

[TSP]

And the last one. I'm still don't know which color I should paint the markings.

I think maybe something like Maximilian Jenius style like in the movies (black/blue).

[Fortress_Maximus]

looks nice to me.

Nice work, I did one of these a while ago.

Where did the landing gear come from?

Wow, I hate that kit...

You actually made it decent looking.

[Mule]

Really good work for a model that small. Actually, that's really good for a model of any size

[Black Valkyrie]

Nice work, I think this kit also come with a VF-11C battriod kit.

You kitbashed it to do a vf-11 fighter with fastpack right? Nice, but the battroid legs are really oversize.

[TSP]

This kit came with a Battroid. I used some parts to build a Fastpack version.

The Battroid parts indeed are bigger than the Fighter kit parts. So changed it in the style of the VF-1 Super Valkyrie. The landing gear was taken from Revell's 1/144 S-37 Berkut. The Berkut became a Vic Viper. So it has no use for wheels.

I am simultaniously working on a 1/72 Legioss(Armo-Driver) too. Beneath the little fellow that comes along with the kit.

[TSP]

So this kit is finished . The next one will be a VF-19. Maybe with Soundbooster Unit if I get enough info about the Size/dimensions.

Outstanding work TSP!

First I too thought the battroid legs look a bit too big but now, after the colouring, everything matches perfectly. You really did a good job in bringing out all the tiny detail.

I thought of building this kit too but as I collect "normal" planes in 1/144 too, I was too disappointed with the Bandai Kits compared to what Revell/Dragon/whatever can achieve (and already had achieved in the early 90s when the Bandais were brandnew).

But you really show that with skills like yours these toylike playthingies can be made into cool looking replicas worth adding to a collection.

Can´t wait to see more buildups, keep up the good work!

[Ido]

Nice work.

[Myersjessee]

Very nice work. Especially impressive considering how tiny those buggers are!

[TSP]

Thanks! I think theSound booster will be nice too in 1/144. Found some picturesand looks easy tobuild inthis scale.

Now for the Legioss. Since playing the awfully easy RobotechInvasion I#mtotally in old Imai modelkit fever.

The fuselage was taken from a 1/144 Tornado . Fits perfectly I think.

[P.W.Royce]

Thats funny, I just finished the revell S-37 tonight. I put it in my display case next to my Bandi VF-11. Wierd. So, what does a Vic-Viper made out of a Sukhoi look like anyway?

[TSP]

Doesn't look much of a suhkoi . Pic?.... maybe later
