Wicked Ace Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 I am envious of all you members that have display space. Of course, I am envious of the collections, too!
BeyondTheGrave Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Great poses. Debating on weather or not I should buy a valkyrie or not. Is a 1/48 worth it? Reason I ask is b/c Hikaru's weathered VF-1J is calling me.

VFTF1 Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 The 1/48 is worth the price of the 1/48 and the 1/60 v.2.0 is worth the price of the 1/60 v 2.0 ... Get the 1/60. It's more poseable, compatable with all the other valkyrie, has a better sculpt, better hands, and has a removable um...thing like what Hikaru/Roy did at the beginning of SDFM TV. Pete

Pete true but should I buy 1/60 with or with out the super-parts?
Big Irv Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 BeyondTheGrave said: true but should I buy 1/60 with or with out the super-parts? You should buy with the Super Parts. Unlike the 1/48 Super Parts, the 1/60 V. 2's Super/ Strike parts hold very well to Valkyries and don't fall off or apart when converting your figure.

Jeremy007 Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 ^ is that the DX 1/60 or the 1/72 model kit?

How can i tell which verison it is? Date released, design, texture?

(VE-1, VF-1S LV, VF-1J M&M...) as for the repackaged (w/ penlight thingy) DYRL VF-1Ss w/ SSPs, we won't know for sure until it's released and somebody reviews them... some old pics...

If you do not have any 1/48 yet then definitely get one. The prices are quite reduced in lots of places. I really love all of mine especially for doing dioramas since there are so many model kits in 1/48 and the train supplies in O scale. The 1/60 V.2 yamato valks are definitely fantastic so if you dont have one of those yet either then those are worthwhile for sure. I would say get both. The size of the 1/48 is really impressive and the sculpt is great. I personally think that the 1/60 v.2 valks have lower leg sections that look too skinny where the 1/48 look nice and manly.

Even worse than the seat too far up front on the v.2 1/60, so the v.2 wins easily. i'm gonna get the 11B for christmas, wait till you see Isamu going off! Edited December 8, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie

BlueMax Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 1/48s are nice, but personally, I would not go for the weathered versions. Just the plain-Jane versions for me, besides, you probably can get them pretty cheap now.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 lol When are we going to get our kits for the 1/48's Nightmare??? My 2 AngelBirds (and 1S) are feeling pretty confident of surviving their predestined fate. XD

Hi, Miriya Where did you get these miniature pilot and crews? Did you paint them yourself?
miriya Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 fatty_tang said: Hi, Miriya Where did you get these miniature pilot and crews? Did you paint them yourself? The model company Hasegawa makes a lot of different military model kits in 1/48 scale and some of those kits are specifically "crew" kits with just the little figures. It does require cutting, gluing and painting but I got mine from different ebay auctions pre built and painted. Some of the ground crew sets that I know of are: Hasegawa 1/48 U.S. Ground Crew A Hasegawa 1/48 U.S. Ground Crew B Hasegawa 1/48 U.S. Carrier Crew A And there are other model kits by other manufacturers with crew sets in 1/48. There is one ebay member named Falconx58 who almost always has super high quality pre painted crew figures up for auction and I would not be surprised if he would do commisions. http://myworld.ebay.com/falconx58/ Also there is a company called VERLINDEN that makes great military and aircraft carrier accessories in 1/48 scale as resin kits. Do an ebay search for "VERLINDEN 1/48". The Carrier Tow is a great accessory. Also Tamiya models makes lots of great kits in 1/48 scale, some of which may be very usable for a 1/48 macross diorama. Finally train hobby items in O scale can be a great resource too for finding little 1/48 scale objects for diorama.

Macross_Fanboy Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) Two thirds of my Macross Plus collection, hopefully I can get a YF-21 sometime this month. Took a little effort trying to find the sweet spot for the YF-19. The 11 is truly outstanding. Edited December 13, 2009 by Macross_Fanboy
