Thom Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) Won this kit on eBay the other day. It's the 1/5000 scale kit. I had one as a kid, and I still have the remains of it knocking boots around somewhere. Which is good, as I will need some parts from it to finish one of these. And I say one of these, because there are TWO in the kit!! I noticed in the pics that there were two hull pieces and almost double of everything else laid out. So that means I paid a little more than $20 each! Awesome. I'm thinking about making them into either Supervision gunboats, an ASS-1, or just smaller SDFs to escort the bigger Hasegawa ships. You know, I wasn't looking to build a UN Spacy Fleet, but I guess it's happening! Edited September 14, 2015 by Thom Quote
505thAirborne Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Nice score Thom! Look forward to seeing SDF-1's completed. Making one of these as the ASS-1 would be cool. Quote
MechTech Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Congrats and welcome to the club! I got mine last year for about the same price. I still have my old one from like 30 years ago, but it looks like it crashed into Macross island! Keep us posted. I have the old photos of the rebuilt SDF-1 in a book to make it look like the original crashed version. I'm sure yours will look better, the old one was done quickly for the book. - MT Quote
