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! 

 

Thank you @505thAirborne!  Well one day, if you decide to add a YF-29 to your collection, the Roy version is one of the more reasonably priced.

[Lolicon]

Did some minor touch-ups on my DX YF-19. I think that's about as much time and effort I'm willing to put into this particular release.

Got super lucky and got a Yamato VF-1S Max Weathering Version from Buyee. It was indicated as being the Weathering Version, but I'll have to confirm once it arrives. So happy to have a VF-1S Max from DYRL in the collection.

Either way, that’s gotta be the greatest find of the year! Congrats!

There is a 1/48 Angel Bird on ebay for $250 that I spotted while looking for something totally different:

Very nice find!

If you don't mind me asking, how much did it run you?

Originally it was supposed to be 95 shipped, but after the upgrade to DHL, it ended up being 115 shipped.

Hint: the one character Bandai hasn’t yet given us in DX form.

Nice coloring, by the way. Looks very convincing.

[sh9000]

 

Or officially in HMR form.

[jeniusornome]

@ScrambledValkyrie what coloring are you talking  about? Those are the theee Yamato DYRL skull leaders: drunk guy, hero guy and best pilot guy.

Ah, yes. You're right. I posted too quickly, thinking I was in the 1/48 DX thread and got the impression Saburo was trying to whet our appetites for the other 1S variants.

I guess this pic goes with yours.  Just picked up Hikaru, actually.

[Lolicon]

Can't wait to get the Arcadia PF version of this.

Nice that goes well!

 

On a side note: it always bothered me that Roy's shoulder pads were drooping.

The navy blue with gold accents brings out the Regal design of the Sv-262Hs.

My first time transforming the YF-30 in years. She's definitely a step down from the VF-31 but still a super easy transformation.

Wanted to take a pic before I disassemble her.

Haha I'm just following in the footsteps of giants.

Here's @wm cheng's amazing YF-30 which I'm sure he did in a single afternoon.

Still unfinished head and hard to transform so just fighter

Amazing colour scheme @enphily!!!  Congrats on it turning out so well.
