    Ya, I doubt Hasegawa will do a battroid 1D around the same time as the Max Factory kit comes out. Going to have to wait a while. I don't get why they didn't do one already though. They did the 1D gerwalk pretty quickly after the first gerwalk releases. 

    I know the battroid line probably didn't get a ton of love. There's only been a couple special re-issues like the Minmei Guard and the special scheme armored battroids, compared to the numerous special re-issues of the fighter kits. But then again, the gerwalks have NO special re-issues, but still got the 1D right away. 

    I think the big thing for Hasegawa has always been aircraft. They have done more robotic type stuff here and there, and recently have become a bit more adventurous. That’s probably why they tend to focus on the fighters for Macross. The fact that they even attempted Zentraedi mecha at all was a real surprise to me. Up until that it was mainly the battroid kit of the VF-1 and Zero a few Virtual On kits and a bit of Ma K stuff.

    After looking it up, am only realising now it’s an X-19. Are these the same as below video & really vintage items?

    That was actually the last GI Joe vehicle I ever owned. Around that time GI Joe was going out and Turtles were the big thing coming in

    Maybe. Probably? But I want a Hasegawa version that won't look out of place with my other Hasegawas.

    Maybe the fact that Hasegawa went down the 'realistic' route and Max Factory went the other way with anime styling and detailing will keep the chance of a Hasegawa version alive.

    I sorta get the feeling that the two companies are trying to awkwardly co exist. Max Factory put out a movie version VF-1 fighter in 1/72 and easily could’ve done a movie battroid to go with it. Then not too long after Hasegawa did a slightly updated movie Battroid VF-1s and Max Factory went with a tv 1J. There’s also the announcement that Max Factory is doing a VF-19 from 7 battroid while hasegawa is doing the YF-19 from Plus. I’m not saying they won’t cross over and Max Factory do a movie Battroid VF-1 and a YF-19 while Hasegawa does something Max Factory had put out, but I think they may give eachother some time on the projects so they aren’t directly competing with eachother. Maybe a wait time of something like a year or two. But who knows for sure.

    After the TV Q-Rau plz.

    I have a feeling that they will probably do the cannon fodder purple from the movie first, but I hope that they do something a bit different for the zentraedi. Tv Queadluun Rau would be great or the movie version of the Nousjadel Ger would really make me happy. To be honest I’d be happy with the Glaug or Gnerl as well.

    The gloss white/gloss black scheme is interesting, but unfortunately I think I applied too many layers of silver paint, making the black panels a bit too subtle. The wing flaps are Mr. Color 8 Silver, while the rest of the plane is Mr. Color SM201 Super Fine Silver 2. You can barely see that the nose, engine cowlings, rear parts of the nacelles, and vertical stabilizers are a bit deeper color. I should not have applied too many layers of paint and let them show the darker color more. It was my first time attempting this, and I thought that after the paint dried, they would be more visible.

    So... I dunno... Do you think it's worth re-masking and giving these panels another shot? Or just fall forward?

    BTW, in the background you can see the old Imai 1:100 Armored Valk that I am building up as Millia's red VF-1J.

    I think it looks great, I can see the differences in the shown pictures between the different metals. I’m not sure if you have a real world example that you’re trying for that has a bigger contrast. If you’re personally not satisfied though then go ahead and give it another darker coat, but I think it looks great as is.

    Very nice interpretation of this kit; it's always interesting to see a familiar design in a new light.

    It would look more realistic if you went a tad lighter on those heavily engraved panel lines IMO. The texture on the exhaust parts is cool.

    I kinda like the dark lines on this one. It’s a much smaller aircraft than a Valkyrie and I think this kinda gives it more of a close up feel.

    UPDATE: New sponson/ weapon end doors made and undergoing final fitting. Also started on a stand for this one:

    Stay tuned...

    With the stand, it would look really cool with a sandy look. I always remember a lot of scenes of it flying low along the desert

    Huh. I guess this means Sandman season 2 has been confirmed? Maybe I just don't remember...

    Still, a bit odd that the spinoff would premiere before those characters are introduced in the main show. Or maybe not, I can see how they'd make it work.

    It’s Netflix. Who knows if it’s cancelled or not. The best thing to do if it’s a show you liked is to assume it’s over and then be happily surprised if it’s even getting half a new season

    You're kidding, right?

    As for the changes in position or the holes. This was hand drawn animation remember.

    Yeah, I was just kiddin. It’s just funny that in all three above pictures of it above in battroid mode, there’s odd differences. The first two have an orange head and the last one is only tan. The first is missing a thin black stripe at the top of the chest plate and the bullet holes are all over the place. It makes it look like a team of newbies all got shot down within seconds

    (But I can't get past how the two minor characters on the right have the same exact face...)

    I didn’t notice it earlier. But they’re exactly the same just one is slightly darker. Even the shadows are the exact same. They just got lazy and copy pasted faces

    It’s funny how the bullet hole locations kept shifting around from one scene to the next!

    Nah, those are different 1-D’s. You can tell by the head coloring

    The intro art was cool  but these VF's all look stubby and mis proportioned . And don't get me started on the "VHT prototype Zero.."image.jpeg.62edefada71ec241b296475c76036453.jpeg

    What’s with the bandaid on his nose? 
    Did he get shot down?………Again
