Has anyone here built this kit? It's so complicated. Just cutting out the parts is a chore. You need to be precision cutter etc.

 

Also, as a bonus, it's got some Macross info like mechs, characters, story symopsis etc.

It's in the model section instead of the toy section. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/42203-12400-scale-tv-sdf-1/

Here is a fantastic build of a scaled up version. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/42355-tv-sdf-1-macross-11600-12400/

I'm still in the process of building this.

I think I stopped from the frustration of packing tissues into all the large spaces, and gluing the large parts (funny how it's not the small ones, eh).

You have to stuff them? Ouch!

Thanks for the links(tried the search engine here and got zilch)! And, you can actually transform it? Or is it only Fortress or Storm attacker mode only?

You can't transform it once built.  During the building process, you choose which version you want to display it in.

I've kind of 'cheated', as I scanned the pages after cutting them out, and printed them on 135 kg manga paper, so I can make both versions.  :wink:
