I think it's just the angle of how the photo was taken. And it's just to show I believe the upcoming Weapon Set for the VF-4 kit that comes with the aforementioned Gunpod. Quote
NZEOD Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 looks to be the same mold, just the decals around the canopy are making is look different. Its an illusion. Will be nabbing a few for the gun pods! Quote
ChristopherB Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 I can give some information about Excelsus, which is a garage kit company who previously released Wonder Festival exclusives for 1/72 Hasegawa Macross kits. So, now it appears that they will be making the gun pod/etc for the Wave 1/72 VF-4. Although this may not be the complete list, here are some of the items I know of: 45.) VF-19S Space/Atmospheric Super Parts 1/72 Excelsus 46.) VF-19F Aircraft Conversion Parts 1/72 Excelsus 47.) VF-11C Super Aerospace Fighter, Super Parts 1/72 Excelsus 48.)

YF-19 Battroid Conversion Set 1/72 Excelsus They are special items release during the Wonder Festival event. Where Kaiyodo will apply for event license from animate companies like Big West for Macross items. The license is good for one day for the modeler to sell the item during the event. Quantity of each release depends on the modeler, usually limited from a few sets to a few hundred sets. Quote

VF-1A Grunt Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 On 2/12/2019 at 2:35 PM, Bolt said: This looked awesome too! Not sure on the details tho.. I’m a little late to this conversation, but do you know if this is a product announcement or someone’s custom model? I’ve always liked the original VF-2 Sonic Birds scheme that Hasegawa produced, and I would definitely buy a VF-4 in that scheme. I believe that Hasegawa developed the scheme for the limited edition model, so I’d be surprised if Wave was able to use the same design on their model, but maybe someone else actually owns the design. Or someone used the Hawegawa VF-1 decals on a Wave VF-4. I’d personally like to do a VF-4 in the same high viability scheme used on the Hasegawa model. Quote

Raikkonen Posted May 18 Posted May 18 Still no word on any updated VF-4 with a gunpod? Surprised Wave didn't have any Macross on display at the last hobby show. Quote
VF-1A Grunt Posted July 20 Posted July 20 I saw quite a few Wave Destroid Tomahawk and Phalanx kits from their most recent release when I was in Tokyo last month, but the VF-4 kits were noticeably absent. I’d been hoping to pick one up while I was there, as I don’t have the newer version with the extra missiles. I see that the kit is listed as discontinued on the HLJ site, but I think they said that about the Destroids after their first release too. Hopefully they’ll run the VF-4 again in the next year or two, maybe with the gun pod. Quote
