1/72 Legioss Build up

[Goodman Models]

I’ve been working on this vintage kit for a while. I’ve done some mods to the cockpit, intakes, thrusters, feet treads, gunpod. It will be done up in UN Spacey livery.

Which UN Spacy livery? Got a pic of your inspiration?

[Thom]

Always loved this design. Nice mods.

@Goodman Models The kit & cockpit are looking good, I've always been a huge fan of the Legioss! 

On a side note, does anyone else here wish that Hasegawa or WAVE made a 1/72 or even better a 1/48 scale Legioss & Tread model kit? 

[Bolt]

It's looking really good. I'm also looking forward to the paint scheme.

There’s an Aoshima 48 kit, but it looks really rough in my opinion. There will be something done the road. I’ve had this kit forever, so it’s getting done but I’d like to work on a larger scale myself!

I’m thinking now about a modern Japanese gray on gray navy scheme with the UN Spacey kite. I’m still flipping through the reference material though

It's cool to see a classic getting some love! Your paint scheme sounds cool too.

This was one of those cool deals I got back in the 80's. We found an old comic book shop that had a TON of Macross and Mospeada kits up in there loft collecting dust. They marked them down to sell so I was a able to snag a couple of each mode. 👍 - MT

Some cockpit details and added wingtip lights.

Some pre-shading.

Don't normally compliment on masking, but that's pretty neat work.

Thanks Amigo!

Some camo applied, reminiscent of the F-15j

[Bolt]

She's looking so good!

Canopy - I have stopped using future and I’m on to this polishing method with the 3 grades of Tamiya polish.

Sparklin'!!

[Goodman Models]

Closer on the painting completion and arresting hook added.

[Goodman Models]

I added the touch up paint often found on navy planes. 

[Bolt]

Fantastic!  And great job on the canopy👍🏼

[Goodman Models]

Some decal action underway!

[Thom]

With it oriented like that, well scrolling down it's like it is launching up into the sky! 

[VertexNebula]

A Legioss with UNS markings is awesome! I'm really looking forward to seeing finished pics! Awesome build

[Goodman Models]

Ahh some decal disaster….whatchagonnado. Finished the arresting hook. Redoing some of the decals.

[Bolt]

Very cool ! 

[Goodman Models]

Coming together now.

[Bolt]

She looks good! I love seeing these older kits brought to life!

[Thom]

Nice colors and the decals look good on it.

[Cypher DX]
