kajnrig Posted December 25, 2017 Posted December 25, 2017 I still don't understand why they couldn't have used... like, actual Delta characters. This would be way more interesting with Freyja or Mirage or literally anyone from Walkure. Quote
Nyankodevice Posted December 25, 2017 Posted December 25, 2017 im getting 2 thats for sure.... can remake one of them for any of the leads... Quote

Nyankodevice Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 its not supposed to be a character from the show, its the soul of the mecha.. Quote
seti88 Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 shouldn't the soul of the valk be a fig of kawamori-san then? Quote
ridgebacks Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 So... is this pre-painted like the tomytec kit? Or you need to do everything yourself? I'm kinda tempting to get 1 for the only reason of having a smaller scaled 31J to put near my PC. Quote

I'm kinda tempting to get 1 for the only reason of having a smaller scaled 31J to put near my PC. Expand It’s highly doubtful that it’s pre-painted for the price that it’s going for. HLJ’s item description states it’s molded in color. Quote

Much more reasonable prices than retail. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 I'm interested by how much parts-forming this will involve. I guess removing the wing-folding mechanisms (apart from the inner-most pivot) simplifies that area at least. Quote
WaferMouse Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Ah, so much for my interpretation of the translation that these would look OK-ish unpainted. Thanks for the pics, no3l! All the better for making a 31C version, I guess Quote
WaferMouse Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 I bit the bullet and ordered two, one to keep stock and level-up my painting skills on, and one to try and turn into Mirage to pose with my armoured Klan Klang Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) I am 100% going to repaint mine. For one thing she's getting some pants (at least shorts), for another going low-vis on the Valk. I have 0 idea why all the mecha-girls have to be wearing swimsuits or leotards with thigh-highs.

I'll settle for having it look more like a cool robot/vehicle thing and less like a fanservicey fetish thing. Quote
Focslain Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) Going to get two of these, one to build as is the other to mod, not sure how yet though. On that note does anyone know what scale the valk is? I want to see about supping it up. Edited January 11, 2018 by Focslain Quote

Expand As per HobbySearch info: - Scale: Non-Scale - Size: Overall length of the aircraft: approx. 205 mm Frame height: approximately 155 mm The Frame height is the figure since most shop says the figure stands at 15.5cm.

TMBounty_Hunter Posted January 21, 2018 Author Posted January 21, 2018 The Kyushu Hobby Festival gives us a look at what the unpainted kit would look like: Quote

Focslain Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 I so wanted one of these (well two actually) but I ran out of money. Quote
kajnrig Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Has anyone on here bought/built one of these? Doesn't seem like reaction was all that hot to it. (For me it's the Girl that killed the kit. I STILL don't get why they couldn't have included one of the many many MANY Macross females instead.) Quote

Expand CDJ only just shipped mine, so given the timing I doubt anyone's done a build yet. Mine are going to take some time since I suck at painting and I plan to paint them in JKai and C colour schemes. I think I'll be keeping the girls unpainted until I feel ready to make them Freya and Mirage. Quote
