Graham Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 The new June 2004 issue of Hobby Japan features an 18 page Macross section, including a great conversion of the Hasegawa VF-0S kit to Shin's VF-0D. I'll try and get scans of the VF-0D up later today and get the whole section scanned in during the weekend. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFrenchOne Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Wow Outstanding ! How did they manage to sculpt the head that beautiful ? I am really impressed Thanks for the pics Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neova Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Thats it. I'm going to break my budget and get a few more of those M:0 Kits and a few SV-51 and VF-0Bs and the VF-0Ds and the battroid counter parts and ANY Macross re-issue from Hasegawa. I love Hasegawa's quality and the possibilities in the hands of talented customizers. Beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wm cheng Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 You said Noel! (although if I go through the effort of customizing, maybe Hasegawa will speed up the process and put one out before I'm finished ) Bitter? me,... non! I'll be looking forward to that baby!! Hey, even the "pros" didn't fill in the injector pins/holes in the landing gear doors, they left some and covered some up with some piece of styrene - man, no respect!

Grayson72 Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Call it custom if you like but I betcha that's an actual first run prototype kit from Hasegawa. Look at that head and the detail on the wings, no way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsu legato Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 (edited) *thinks of something to say that convey the majesty of that custom* Holy Macaroni!!! I sure hope Hasegawa plans of making a VF-0D kit, because there's no way in hell I have a chance of replicating that custom!

Valkyrie Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Goddamn!! Looking at those new parts, I'd swear they're from Hasegawa! The level of detail matches the rest of the kit perfectly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiff Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Man that is really cool, I really like the M-0 mechs. I'm pretty good at customizing stuff but that much work would take me a lifetime to even come close. Kickass stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jawjaw Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Ok, that's it - game over, man, game over! That VF-0D looks amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 wow... I can't wait for Hasegawa's release of that thing... even thought that one will still be outstanding... my big question is HOW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis! Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 (edited) BIG FREAKING MOMA !!! What I´m about to say comes from the deepest corner of my heart ... from the very first moment I saw the VF-0D on M0 with that awesome delta wings and that cool looking paint job I just fell in love with that work of art from the gods , after that day there was no other valkyrie for me (except maybe the VF-5000 ). So what does a loyal fan of the 0D have to say about this custom ? well , I´ll just say ths : it´s worth an orgasm , it´s just too unbelievably beautiful. This guy just took my dreams and made them real. Someone just oughts to make a wallpaper from those pics Edited April 25, 2004 by Aegis!

Dat Pinche Haro! Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 You know.... I'm surprised we haven't seen any variable customs of the VF-0S. I mean it can't be too off from the VF-1's transformation right? Anyways, I still want to see someone make a variable VF-0S out of a hasegawa!

jontom Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Well, the Japanese text references a 1:72 F/A-18D a couple times, so I assume that some of the extra stabilizers are from that. The wings are probably from another kit as well, just haven't figured out which one. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
