Thom Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) Won this kit on eBay the other day. It's the 1/5000 scale kit. I had one as a kid, and I still have the remains of it knocking boots around somewhere. Which is good, as I will need some parts from it to finish one of these. And I say one of these, because there are TWO in the kit!! I noticed in the pics that there were two hull pieces and almost double of everything else laid out. So that means I paid a little more than $20 each! Awesome. I'm thinking about making them into either Supervision gunboats, an ASS-1, or just smaller SDFs to escort the bigger Hasegawa ships. You know, I wasn't looking to build a UN Spacy Fleet, but I guess it's happening! Edited September 14, 2015 by Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Nice score Thom! Look forward to seeing SDF-1's completed. Making one of these as the ASS-1 would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechTech Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Congrats and welcome to the club! I got mine last year for about the same price. I still have my old one from like 30 years ago, but it looks like it crashed into Macross island! Keep us posted. I have the old photos of the rebuilt SDF-1 in a book to make it look like the original crashed version. I'm sure yours will look better, the old one was done quickly for the book. - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
