WOW!!! factory panel lining and weathering!?! looks amazing, I was thinking of getting this, maybe now I will...loooks too good

Um, no. This is a model kit. The paneling lining and weathering you have to do yourself.

Nobody interested in what Wave is bringing out?

Is the Battroid model also scaled at 1/100?

Can not say that if we're interested or not. It is almost a year now and they are finally going to release them. We still do not have any news on the Destroid Tomahawk. Don't know when they are going to roll it out.

Reports from Wonderfest suggest that they're still working on it (the Tomahawk). The scale of the Tomahawk kit seems to have grown to 1/72. Looks like the release date is sometime next Spring.

Thanks for the update. The image was not as good as the one the Captain sculpted.

I wouldn't take that image as any kind of sample as to what the final product will look like.

Besides, some of us have no access or qualifications :) to Captain's stuff.

Also remember that WAVE is also popping new Ma.K models and retooling the older Ma.K molds. They are more than just macross. It just isnt a priority for them now.

Looks like they are really putting effort in this, comes with a stand and Pilot.

PS: I had trouble finding this thread. Why are no page numbers visible in the model subsection???

"Still working on it" is code for saying that they can't generate enough market interest to justify the tooling/production at this time; otherwise, they would have gone to production with it by now, and it was always supposed to be 1/72. Depending on what it ends up retailing at, folks might be better off opting for the re-issued MO-SUU-KAA-TOH HOBBY Tomahawk.

IMO the new pics show the same model from last year, so there's some faint hope that the final release will deal with the ovious issues like the bad fit of the canopy. Wave surprises me, in a bad way this time. They can produce wonderful IP kits like their 1/144 LED Mirage from The Five Star Stories, but this one is crap compared to what Bandai did in 1/100 in their EX line of aircraft kits from Yukikaze or Spacecruiser Yamato.

WTF!!! SRP of 2400Yen. That's way too much for a lightly improved version of the old Bandai kit. Especially if you need to vacuum form a new canopy, sharpen the edges of all the wings, air intakes and thruster nozzles.

Official pages are up for Battroid and Fighter.

The canopy and the panel lines are much better than the prototype version, but the pilot looks like he's fallen asleep at the controls.

LOL...an accurate portayal of Drunken Roy from DYRL!
