Jefuemon Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Latest addition to my completed collection. A 1/72 scale VF-11B Thunderbolt, from Hasegawa, plus a 1/72 resin booster set from the Club M release of same. The Club M release also came with the Super Packs, so that's why I used the boosters on this one. As usual, more to be seen here. Quote
Hervé Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Great job on this VF-11 ! How was the building ? no trick or something to pay attention at ? (I have the VE-11 from Hasegawa on my desk...) Thanks for sharing. regards, Quote

Thanks for sharing. regards, Thank you! No, no specific problems at all. Main build went together very fast. Quote
Benson13 Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Looks fantastic. To bad that booster doesn't come in 1/60. Quote
cool8or Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 It looks great!! Good job!! I have a Club-M VF-11 too, but it's a special edition without any pack or option parts. Quote
spanner Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 That looks sensational! I wish the VF-11B Yamato released actually looked like that.. I simply don't possess the skill or patients required for such a re-paint or build.. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Saw this on the front page, looks amazing, nice job Jefuemon! Now I want to try and track down a (toy) VF-11B. -b. Quote
Noyhauser Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 It looks great!! Good job!! I have a Club-M VF-11 too, but it's a special edition without any pack or option parts. I might have an extra pair of packs, as I constructed one years ago without any.... would you like them? Oh, yeah, btw AWESOME BUILD JEFUEMON! (Can't resist using the extra caps because your build is THAT awesome!) Quote
antibiotictab Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) Will you display it at some exhibits, Jefuemon? IIRC, a well-known modelers' event is held at Sapporo Factory every year. Edited June 9, 2014 by antibiotictab Quote

Aurora-7 Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Wonderful build, Jefuemon. Impressive work on you flickr pages, too. Looks like you dressed up the ejector seat to the VF-11? I just picked up a VF-11B kit from HLJ that was on sale for $12.00 (us). It's the Macross: The Ride version so I'll need to scounge up some UN Spacy 'kite' emblems to make is a service VF. Quote
Jefuemon Posted September 30, 2014 Author Posted September 30, 2014 Looks like you dressed up the ejector seat to the VF-11? Nope, didn't do anything different. Thanks for thinking I did something special, though! Quote
PetarB Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Loving this valkyrie. Great work! The top of the booster paintwork looks slightly out of line, but I'm guessing that's due to the old resin moulds. Anyway, as usual, thanks for posting your pics. Always good to see. Quote
abbadon Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Saw this on the front page, looks amazing, nice job Jefuemon! Now I want to try and track down a (toy) VF-11B. -b. Yeah this is making me want to buy a VF-11B too! Nice work Jefuemon! Very clean build with very good detail. Quote
Jefuemon Posted October 1, 2014 Author Posted October 1, 2014 Great work! The top of the booster paintwork looks slightly out of line, but I'm guessing that's due to the old resin moulds. Or my wonky free-hand painting... Quote
Aurora-7 Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) After watching a bit of Macross 7, I see VF-11 design was meant to be the cannon fodder that the tan colored VF-1A's were in the original Macross. Glad it got it's due as a valk design. I read somewhere (maybe here) it was designed because using the VF-19 as the 'common' valk was rejected because it looked too much like a 'hero' mount. Sort of the way the VF-17 design was used in the Macross Frontier series - last year's hero model is this year's cannon fodder - but I still want a 1/72 VF-171 model kti!
