GMK Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 For some reason, the Admiral Kuznetsov deck sections look very "anime" to me - not necessarily Macross, but anime nonetheless. Quote
Zinjo Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 It's the helo circles. Most anime decks have them. Quote
Zinjo Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 I want to see a Tomytec fighter up close before I pull the trigger, but so far they are looking good! I really want a delta 02 but if I missed it cause of bandai PO madness then at least we got this little thing that we can buy multiples I also want a VF-31A! I so want the CF VF-25A, 31A, 171's. I suspect it is due to my fetish for rare items and the CF fighters being less likely to be sold compared to hero valks. Quote
MechTech Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 That does look cool!!! The Russians have circles on their carrier decks. We have lines so they have to have circles. It's an old US vs Russia thing - MT http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/kuznetsov/kuznetsov5.html Quote

It's an old US vs Russia thing - MT http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/kuznetsov/kuznetsov5.html I am pretty sure they are designated Helo landing areas similar to LHD carriers. The difference from an LHD carrier is that the AK carrier also has a jet launch ramp. Edited March 9, 2016 by Zinjo Quote
Big s Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 The 1j kits are up for preorder at hobby search. Quote
seti88 Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Cool...thx for the update..now which mode shld i get or get the gerwalk again... Quote
Big s Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 There's also a teaser pic at the bottom of the 1j for the delta 31j and 31a. I can't wait to see the 31a full pics. Quote
Duymon Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 estimated cost each? They are already up for Preorder and the prices are in line with all the other 1/144 TOmytech stuff; around 25-35 USD a pop on average. I've seen other Tomytech stuff in Japan and it's very, very detailed. However, too pricey for me. It's basically just a snap-kit with a crapton of Tampo printing. Proportions are always a little miffed because parts need to be structurally sound in the tiny 1/144 scale. Quote
seti88 Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 from MW retweets... https://twitter.com/show_zou/status/716134994020683777 Looks good with the lil n-scale figures! Quote
sh9000 Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 These are cool and the diorama possibilities are endless. Quote
seti88 Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) http://www.tomytec.co.jp/gimix/lineup/macross/index.html Awesome...stands included! Oh wait...does supplied stand mean its included or there is a stand available for purchase? ...all info i have is via translation... Edited April 15, 2016 by seti88 Quote
GMK Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Please, for the love of God, release a VF-1D!!!! Quote
Pacci Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Please, for the love of God, release a VF-1D!!!! +1 Quote
GMK Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 Got the 1A and 31A Fighters. As in - they've arrived?! Quote
hachi Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 what do you think are the 'gimmicks' for the battroids? Quote
hachi Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 what do you think are the 'gimmicks' for the battroids? Never mind...found the hints at hobby search. On the other hand, I wanted to get the VF-1A fighters yesterday but reservations were closed. T_T Quote
seti88 Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) From tomytecs twitter pics, it seems that there is are extra tail decals included to customise your valk! Different tail decals will be provided between the 1S,J and A gerwalk sets. Now thinking if i should just get the 1J to get the sundowners tail decal... Edited May 18, 2016 by seti88 Quote
chyll2 Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 I wonder if they will add the same option for 31a. Quote
seti88 Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 I wonder if they will add the same option for 31a. Will have to wait and see on that, as even for hayate's gerwalk mode they havent released the details of what decals would be included. Oooh, a Vf-1 VF-1! Chris hehe nicely said! Am not sure how it will work on roys version, it doesnt look like skull emblem is part of the decal sheet. Which means you might have to decal over the skull emblem if you want a variant? For 1A and 1J the default tails are empty so you can decal as you wish... Quote
MechTech Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Thanks for the photos Jefuemon, those look cool! -MT Quote
Big s Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 On the delta thread it was mentioned that these may be a new type of decal, instead of standard waterslide decals so you may want to take note of that before treating them the same. Quote
QEssential Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 WOW! Details look amazing for something so small! Just wish it was Perfect Transformation! Quote
Duymon Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Look at the fighter mode sprue. I can hear the screams of modelers who try to clip off piece #5. Those fins be crazy Quote
hal9000 Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Are we expecting much in the way of articulation? To me the hips don't seem to have much clearance in battroid. Quote
Big s Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 The joints are there for articulation, but the wings look like they may be in the way. I'm not sure if it would be too difficult to mod the upper body to lean forward far enough for clearance like the revoltech battroid figure. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Mmmn, VF-111 and VF-1. So hard to choose. Quote
seti88 Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 This is tomytec's strategy to get us buying more fighter modes! Because of that tail decal, am now evaluating to get a gerwalk + 2 fighters... Quote
