valkyriepm Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Hi guys, when preordering the 1/72 VF-25 from hase, noted the preorder of this on HLJ, totally unexpected for me anyway 1/48 VF-1A/S Super/Strike http://www.hlj.com/product/HSGMC03/Sci 1/48 VF-1J 30th Anniversary http://www.hlj.com/product/HSG65824/Sci Martin Quote
Major Tom Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Yes, we are finally getting the 1/48 Strike Valkyrie: http://blog.yahoo.com/_ED274AZGFINLESDVVHRADMVIMU/articles/1288132/index then the 30th VF-1J (1/48) http://blog.yahoo.com/_ED274AZGFINLESDVVHRADMVIMU/articles/1288080/index and Egg Plane YF-19 w/ fast pack & booster http://blog.yahoo.com/_ED274AZGFINLESDVVHRADMVIMU/articles/1288136/index Quote
Hoptimus Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 You think they will do 1/48 Battroid kits? Probably not but it would be sweet. Quote
Noyhauser Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 I bet they will. Its likely their second most popular seller (by mold) in 72nd... and a logical next step. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 That 1/48 strike valkyrie, just add some photoetched parts and the Club-m Ultimate 1/48 VF-1 will no longer be relevant. That YF-19 eggplane with FP and fold booster will be a day one purchase for me, I built a VF-1 strike eggplane and it was so fun! Would love a VF-0S reactive armor in 1/48..... I wonder if their frontier line will also be 1/48 in the future. Quote

cool8or Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Funny, I just see it and came to MWF to post it... Nevermind, we are all happy for this: happy 30 anniversary! I hope to see one day the Macross Zero F-14... Quote
Chronocidal Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Woo! As ridiculous as this might be.. I almost feel like I should buy four of the strike pack kits, and make a 1/48 skull squad display. Definitely will buy at least one or two though, I can't wait to see how much detail they cram into the packs. Quote
electric indigo Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Now who makes a 1/48 launch arm? Quote
Chas Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 definitely going to get one of these at first. If Hase doesn't release a strike A or a seperate strike pack then I'll get a few more, just hope they don't wait too long. Quote
Berttt Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Oooh man I have been putting off buying a 1/48 because I was waiting for this release. It's going straight to the top of my build list. Quote

Chronocidal Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 We probably won't see separate packs at all, just because of the number of unique parts the packs will require. You'd be buying almost half the jet again anyway. Quote

Wiz13688 Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Where are the under wing weapons or do we have to buy a weapons pack? Dec release, I'll just pick it up while I'm there then. Quote

I wonder if their frontier line will also be 1/48 in the future. It only took like what? 15 years to top the Club-M strike? But then again, the Tanmen sculpts feel more VF-1-ey than anything Hasegawa released so I guess for many people the Club-M is still king. Edited September 14, 2013 by Duymon Quote
joscasle Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 At last!!!! IMHO the Club-M is a very nice kit (expensive too), but I don't like at all the landing gear Quote
Duymon Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Landing gear? Who uses landing gear? Strike valks in flight or bust Quote
cool8or Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) I have the Club-M kit, and I think that THERE HAS TOO MUCH DETAILS TO INCLUIDE IT ALL IN ONLY ONE KIT. So, I have some ideas to take advantage of the better of two versions (Club-M and Hase), and build two kits with parts of both versions. Obviously the parts and proportions are not 100% compatible, but that's my challenge. So, because of that, I already preordered 1 kit of Hase's 1/48 super/strike parts kit. Edited September 16, 2013 by cool8or Quote
joscasle Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) Duymon, I agree with you about the Strike, always in fligt mode, but I never sawa picture a Club-M 1/48 valk is flight mode, all the pics I saw have landing gear , and for my test is to tall, both main and front landing gear, just my opion. Cool8or: I really can't wait for your step by step build!!! BTW I alrady pre-order 1 and 1 VF-25 too , will be a very nice XMas!! I have curious to know how Hasegawa will perform the build of missile launches, it will make such Yamato / Clum-M with full detail or will be to build on the 1/72, I hope it guy like Yamato Edited September 16, 2013 by joscasle Quote
big F Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 I just wish I had a bigger display cabinet. Quote
MechTech Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) I'm glad to see the VF-1 FINALLY get some serious BIG SIZED mass produced love! - MT Edited September 16, 2013 by MechTech Quote

Jefuemon Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Some new pics of the 1/48 30th Anniversario. Quote
