Studio HalfEYE Macross kits- YF-19 and Vf-5000B

[frankell05]

Hello

 

 I have been an intense fan of these models kits for a long time, and recently I found this japanese fella that posted his builds of these kits on youtube. They are really good videos featuring the fully assembled kits, as well as, the process. I think this guy deserves a follow and for folks to check out his model kit tutorial videos, as they are pretty cool.

 

Here are the video links

This hit me hard  in the nostalgia regions

 

PS: If anyone want to post their studio half eye builds in this thread, it would be cool to see them.

I never had the cash back in the day, but used to dream about how cool I thought these were

Very nice !  When did you build it? How was your experience?  I am posting my yf-19 below.  Btw, I am originally from Chile, but live in the US now. Are you in Santiago?

I loved building this, but unfortunately I was never able to get the drilled screws to align enough to make it transformable so I just made it permanently into this mode. 

 

Either way Its my favorite rendition of the yf-19

When I bought the one I had originally, It was siting on a shelf on a store called Anime Plus (long gone) It sat there forever, calling my name, until I had enough money and bugged my mom enough to take me to the store to get it. When I finally brought it home I realized I was over my head, but still enjoyed it. 15 years I tracked most of the remainder kits, but Have only partially build most of them so far.  I built the vf-5000, but once again screwed up the screw holes....

I didn't build it myself. I paid someone else to do it since I don't consider myself skilled enough to do it.

I've bought 5 of this kit and 2 of the YF-19. Unfortunately, four YF-21 and one YF-19 I sent to a scammer and never again saw those kits.

Now I have a VF-11B, a YF-19 and a VF-5000 waiting to be built.

 

Yes, I'm in Santiago 

 

You did a great job on that YF-19.

Hey. I have the YF-19, YF-21 and VF-11. And all three instructions say they require Wave's B joint. I went searching and found that there are several options in several sizes. anyone have any idea which ones to use?
