Lolicon Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 Finally had some free time (and finished FF7) so I got around to fixing up my Angel Birds 1A, something I've been meaning to do for a few years now. Since she's a show plane, I kept her clean and gave her a glossy finish. I also kept the markings to a minimum, as I found out through my cursory research that air show planes tend to have very few markings. Couple of quick battroid pics. Quote
vlenhoff Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 ^ ^ ^ wow, that's a nice glossy finish! I wish i had at least one of these birds. Quote
Bolt Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Crisp ,clean and beautiful @Lolicon excellent job mate! Quote
Lolicon Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Thanks guys! It'd be cool to get this in 1/48, but I'm not holding my breath on Bandai actually doing it. Fighter mode. It was harder than I thought trying to capture that shiny new car finish in pics. I think I should give the fan racer a glossy finish too, being an amateur civilian aircraft. Quote
vlenhoff Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 ^ lt looks delicious! Great work, crisp execution. Quote

I switched to my phone camera for that last pic so I could freely move around to catch the light just right. Hard to do that with a camera mounted on a tripod.

505thAirborne Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Of the many 1/60's I didn't get back in the Yamato days was the Angel Bird, a definite regret. Oh well, I'll have to live vicariously through @Lolicon pics! @Saburo Great shots, every time I tell myself I'm not a big fan of the YF-29's I see your pics... must resist buying a Roy version! Quote

Expand Haha yeah the Angel Bird doesn't pop up for sale very often on secondary sites. Mine came still in the brown shipper box that included the fan racer kit. There's a Cavaliers on Mandarake right now... for 40k! Too rich for my blood for a valk that was seen for two seconds. If it was half that price I might have bought it. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1136805643&ref=list&keyword=マクロス On 4/28/2020 at 11:54 AM, sumyumgoy said: The glossy finish came out great @Lolicon!
