Anyone know if anyone has made any 1/72 scale alternative pilot figures? The standard Hasegawa and Bandai ones arent too flash. How do these ones look?

out of curiosity, what are the differences with the Lancer previously available at SSM a couple of years ago?

like 007-vf1, i'd also like a few in 1/144

As the designer, I can answer that question. There's more added detail and the body lines is a lot closer to the lineart. And of course there's the inclusion of the pilot. The scale was also ttaken from Sketchley's translation of the specs found in the Macross Chronicles. The radar "wing" is also thickened so it won't droop. I think that other kit had that problem. If you look at tthat smaller cylinder behind the cockpit, all the other kits omit the fact that the main body goes around that. But according to the line art and some screen shots, that's the way it's suppose to be.

Will the Lancer pilots work in other 1/72 scale Hasegawa models?

Let me check. But I doubt it... the legs are too straight. But I have the model so I can rework it to fit.

I'd like two. Doesn't look like there's a quantity option on the paypal link. So I basically have to do two seperate transactions? No shipping break?

Ordered 1 1/72 and paid -- looking forward to it.

Studio Starforge makes some UN Spacy Pilot sets in 1/72 ( Male and Female ) -- I bought one of each a few years ago and they look pretty nice, though I have yet to use them. Note that I do recall it taking quite a while for them to arrive so don't expect speedy delivery -

Studio Starforge is the same as Petarb... Petarb is pretty reliable but he's in Australia. Maybe you guys should give him a PM before ordering.
