DARTHTODD Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 (edited) Here's some pix of my finished 1/72 Macross Zero models. These are the first models I've done since I was a kid so they aren't nearly as good as most of yours but I had fun making them and that's what counts. My fav of the two is the Mig-29 just because I think I did a better job on it. I used a Revell 1/72 kit for the tomcat cause I wanted swinging wings and recessed panel lines (even though the panel lines are quite heavy) and then added the Hase decals to it. Turned out ok (the tomcat) but I'm actually going to make another one since I'm a perfectionist and I want a few things different on my next model. Anyway, here's the pix.

DARTHTODD Posted February 5, 2004 Author Posted February 5, 2004 BTW, I'm thinking of selling the tomcat since I'm going to making another one. Does anyone here buy finished models or is interested? If so PM me or I'll list this in the for sale column. Thanks. Quote
Less than Super Ostrich Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 great job. and welcome to the club of frustrated modelers! I just got back into it last year. its good to have company! Quote
wm cheng Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 Welcome back, glad to see people picking it up again! Good effort! Hey did those stands come with the kits? Can't wait to see more - keep it up. Quote
ewilen Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 Y'know, I think they both look pretty nice. Quote
DARTHTODD Posted February 5, 2004 Author Posted February 5, 2004 Thanks! Actually the stands are from some diecast Corgi models that I have. I just drilled some holes in the bottom so the stands would fit. Quote
newca Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 nice works! but what happened to those sparrows under the cat's wing? and, is it a new tooling Revell Germany F-14D? I can't find it all over the world now! Quote
DARTHTODD Posted February 5, 2004 Author Posted February 5, 2004 The tomcat kit that I used is a Revell 1/72 f-14d super tomcat w/ Bounty Hunters markings. They're still pretty common and no, it's not new. You can pick it up for about $10-15. Just do a search for one, a ton of model stores have it. As far as the armament change/difference from Macross. I just put on what the Revell kit came with so it's going to be different from the show. I Imagine you could use the Hase weapons on the Revell kit, but I sold the Hase kit w/o decals complete so I didn't use those weapons. Quote
newca Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 (edited) I mean the difference between those two missiles: the one under the left wing glove pylon is wrong, should not be "x"ed but "cross"ed. anyway I love your work, this is the first time I saw a finished M0 tomcat model.

Macross_Fanboy Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 (edited) Nice work! I still have my M0 Fulcrum in the box although I got started on the cockpit assembly. I like the Revedel Tomcat, I got a 1/48 for just under 20 bucks, but I screwed up on it already and I can't fix it. My first failed model. Edited February 8, 2004 by Macross_Fanboy Quote
