1/60 yamato VF-1 customization

[JLYC]

I'm a newbie...just wanna say hi!!

Are there any custom decals available for 1/60 scale VF-1? I've seen many places selling decals for 1/48 versions but none for the 1/60. I'm wondering if the decals for the 1/72 Hasegawa(sp?) model kits would work on the 1/60? Also, does anyone have a side by side comparison of the 1/60 vs 1/48?

Thanks!!

You can try:

www.tmpanime.com or www.valkyrie-exchange.com

They both carried his decal for customizing

Look in the "toys" section of Macrossworld (no, not the "toys" section of the forum) and you'll find plenty of comparison pictures between the 1/60 and the 1/48.

Hey, JLYC, welcome to forums! I hope ya find them 1/60 custom decals coz I'm not even sure if they're out there! But if they're not, hey, ya can always get a !/48 Valk and buy it's appropriate custom decal!

hello:

I've thought about getting either a 1/48 too, but I think at this point 1/60 suits me better for the following reasons:

1. I already have a VF-19 and want the other Valk to be sort of the same scale

2. With the price difference (I really want the FP with the valk), I can get another model kit, DVD's or the VF-O that's coming out.

The 1/60 is sweet, but would has too much opportunity cost for me. Anyway this is a great forum- I'm really enjoying it!!

If you're just going to get one Valk, I'd recommend getting a 1/48. My collection is focused on 1/60 scale Macross toys, but I'm glad I have a 1/48. You can see a lot of pics at The Valkyrie Factory. You can also look at http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/toys/1...comparisons.htm

Basically, the 1/48 is more posable and more stable in any pose. Not to mention better detail.

I collect 1/60's because they offer a greater range of TV styles, they're cheaper, and they take up less space. Also, I'm not too crazy about the 1/48 VF-1J head--but that is a small nitpick.

If you just want any 1/48, I think the Max 1A is often available for well under $100.
