Kelsain Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Wouldn't it be cool if the pilot name was Kolchak? Quote
sketchley Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Isn't it supposed to be a 2 seater?Nope. See image here: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Statistics/VF-11/VF11.php#OPTIONAL_SYSTEMS Quote
ivorysniper Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Ohh lord... another one to spend the money on. I'll start negociating with my wife from today on. Negotiation completed. Allowed to buy it. Pre-ordered at HLJ Edited April 12, 2013 by ivorysniper Quote
coronadlux Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Ohh lord... another one to spend the money on. I'll start negociating with my wife from today on. Negotiation completed. Allowed to buy it. Pre-ordered at HLJ Sometimes it's better to ask forgiveness than permission. In my case, wife said ok. hahaha Quote
valkyriepm Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Preordered as well And the 30th anniversary vf-1 also. I don't need permission or forgiveness from my wife, but have a $$$$ on clothes and shoes revenge. Quote
Capt Hungry Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 I like it. Been wanting to get a VF-11 and this may be the one. Quote
MechTech Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 OK, that's cool! I like the markings. - MT Quote
neptunesurvey Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 The kit is nice. I really like the decals. Quote
ivorysniper Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Sometimes it's better to ask forgiveness than permission. In my case, wife said ok. hahaha Agreed !!. I'm trying to bring my wife to the beauty of the Macross fandom and she's becoming more knowledgeable every day (her words: "Why do you have to buy the one with the radar dome ?. You've got three different Thunderbolts already.You should wait until the one the girl look-a-like boy flies in Frontier comes out; that one is really beautiful"). I might have the wonderful surprise of having the Hasegawa VF-25 as a gift some day.... ...... or maybe I'm just dreaming. . Now, seriously, I like this addition to the Thunderbolt collection, althought I was expecting to have the one with the aerospace super pack first. Quote
Berttt Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Bleh! They can do this but not a 1/48 Super/Strike re release or any Gerwalk kit. Quote
GMK Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Bleh! They can do this but not a 1/48 Super/Strike re release or any Gerwalk kit. This^^^^ A 1/48 Battroid would be good too... Quote
Gakken85 Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Snazzy VF-11's are my second favorite valk after the VF0 and the VF-1 Edited May 3, 2013 by Gakken85 Quote
mechaninac Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Wouldn't that make the VF-11 your 3rd favorite? I may get this kit if for no other reason than to measure the radar dish and attachment pylons to model a 1/60 version I can SLA for my Yamato 11B and C. Edited May 3, 2013 by mechaninac Quote
gwfalcon Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) Nice design Spend a couple of hours and try to get a 1/60 set for my 11B Add black and white colors but not in a correct way: the software is not so intelligent... Edited May 4, 2013 by gwfalcon Quote

Zinjo Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 They should have used the VF-11D molds on this one IMHO. Quote
electric indigo Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 More pics from Shizuoka: http://masterfileblog.jp/news/2013/05/17/3764.html Quote
gwfalcon Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Nice pictures But still cannot see the shape of the gun clearly. Have to wait until the actual release I think... BTW, a small update on the bottom part for my 1/60 design. Quote
ivorysniper Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) HLJ published the box art for this kit and it is shown available for sale, in "Low Stock" and marked as a "Preorder" on the main portal. One more time, the box art is a true masterpiece (I'm guessing it was Tenjin's artwork like the previous ones). http://www.hlj.com/product/hsg65822 Edited May 29, 2013 by ivorysniper Quote
Bolt Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Very nice model. I've got mine coming, can't wait to work on it Tempted to add the super thunderbolt.. It might need back up.. Quote

One more time, the box art is a true masterpiece (I'm guessing it was Tenjin's artwork like the previous ones). http://www.hlj.com/product/hsg65822 Amazing art, really invokes the operational possibilities. In my mind it's like three raptors at the background and an EA-18G Grizzly as the thunderseeker running jammers with AESA radar on full tilt. Love it, really wish I could model now. Edit: gwfalcon are you going to cast that? I would be very interested to get a set for my 11B. Edited June 12, 2013 by raptormesh Quote
AndrewDrexler Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Is it just me, or does it seem odd that this kit is already discontinued according to HLJ? Quote
valkyriepm Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Is it just me, or does it seem odd that this kit is already discontinued according to HLJ? I was abuot to buy the Banpresto Minmay on MF costume, In Stock past tuesday, and discontinued the next day when I went to buy it. Oh, well... Quote
Model-Junkie Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 A lot of Hasegawa kits are limited run, especially the ones they re-pop with different/special decals or variants. That said, some of the other Japanese retailers, such as Hobby Search, still show the kit in stock. I am glad I picked up a few. Quote
Jefuemon Posted June 28, 2013 Author Posted June 28, 2013 Is it just me, or does it seem odd that this kit is already discontinued according to HLJ? Just saw 2 a few hours ago sitting on the shelf of my favorite hobby shop. Quote
Noyhauser Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Whatcha going to do with it Cool8or? OOB or custom scheme? Quote
