B-52 GUNNER Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Well, Here it is. I've had this model since 1989 Quote
B-52 GUNNER Posted December 9, 2003 Author Posted December 9, 2003 I'd help to post the picture. Quote

Mechleader Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 I dig it. Looks good. Have any other models to show? Quote
bsu legato Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Arii, to the rescue! That makes me wish I still had my first Arii kit. I should see if my little brother still has it somewhere. Quote
B-52 GUNNER Posted December 9, 2003 Author Posted December 9, 2003 I have a photo of my Cyclone Armor somewhere. If I find it I'll post it. Scot Quote
Mechmaster Posted December 15, 2003 Posted December 15, 2003 (edited) I still have most of my old Imai and Arii Macross kits from back in the '80s though many are in rather poor shape today, most of the white has long since gone yellow, more delicate parts have been broken and some of them have a serious coat of dust. I wish I could replace them or find time to strip, rebuild and repaint them. They were the kits that first introduced me to the twin delights of anime and Japanese model kits and set me on the path to complete otakunisation. Edited December 15, 2003 by Mechmaster Quote
neptunesurvey Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 My oldest one is the Revell Orbot that I built back in 86 or 87. Quote
007-vf1 Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 My oldest macross kits are a 1/170 armored battroid and the transformable 1/72 bandai VF-1D which I still have. Quote
VFX Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 My oldest Macross kit was the Battle Tech release of the Nichimo kits, the Phoenix Hawk=VF-1SS Quote
Chronocidal Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 Heheh.. the oldest (and until a few months ago the ONLY) Macross (sort of) kit I have is an old Testors kit of the VF-1J in 1/200 scale! The thing is tiny... barely two inches long, and screwed/glued together.. the head probes, missiles, landing gear, etc. are long gone, but it's still in pretty good shape.. needs to be repainted though, I tried to chrome certain parts of it when I first discovered model paint at about age 9. I think I got it some time around 1987 or so.. maybe '88, I was too young to remember. I only bought it cause I thought it looked cool, and, not having seen anything even remotely related to Macross or even Robotech, I had no idea what it actually was. I just assumed it was some kind of strange looking Tomcat (yes, at age 3, I was obsessed with airplanes, and could name who knows how many ). It was years before I happened to buy a Joke Machine VF-1J at a toy store, and noticed the resemblance between the two. Quote
