Dax415 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Armored Valkyrie Conversion kit for Hasegawa Battroid http://www.hobbyfan.com/product_info.php?products_id=4800&name=&title=1%2F72+Macross+VF-1J%2F1S+Full+Armored+Super+Valkyrie+conversion+set+w%2F+decal Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyDude Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I would try to hunt down the 1/72 injection kit of the full armored battroid. Can't recall right now if it was Bandai or Hasegawa that did it. See them often at local shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbantonelli Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Man that's a good price, I got mine off Yahoo Japan and paid about 40% more. I've sat on it for a couple of years now, I like the smaller scales better. Do you have anything you'd like to trade for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie addict Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I remember that kit, it was made to order by neosteel or something, very cool looking but I didn't like it much cause it took some liberties and made it more gundamish. The other kit is a recast from a group called SMS that pop up last year, don't know if they're the same original group or someone who got the molds, but their kit is exhausted too. If you want to keep the scale, you could try one of Bandai's oldies, they're a bit chubby but more anime faithful and still look wicked good when done right. http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h182003945 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyDude Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Thx, Valkyrie Addict. That was the kit I was thinking off, Arii now owned by Bandai. Hasegawa did the VF-OS. Those old Arii kits build up nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbantonelli Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I agree about the liberties, which is why I eventually ended up with the yellow submarine 1/100 kit. Still, it's a well done, very detailed kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dax415 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 The yellow sub kit was superb......I just never had enough money to get one which is why I was looking for this kit. Wish Cap would do a GBP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire_BR Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Brought mine on Ebay dozen of years ago, by some miracle no one had placed a bid and I won with the starting price, 50 bucks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 That kit was originally produced in 2006 by Neograde :http://www.neograde.com/shop/step1.php?number=566 To my knowledge it has never been reissued, so any other company that you get one from is selling a recast. You might try contacting the guys at Neograde they are a pretty nice bunch of guys. I visited them when I lived in Seoul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
