Is this version of VF-27 sold out? What's a reasonable price for it? Can't seem to find in online. Also I don't want to go through e-bay.

Do you thin the Model Master semi gloss clear coat or do you just put it in the airbrush?

What do you guys use to make the niche for the magnets? A drill?

Use a drill bit to start the hole.Then use a dremel hi-speed cutter (size is 1/8).

I added magnets to the underside of the fuselage because my tab broke off into the cockpit. This conveniently filled the gap. I used 1/8 diameter magnets by 1/16 thick. It's really stable now. Thanks to WM for the magnet idea and thanks to Vince for the link to the magnet store.

Just finished mine. So far I broke the hinge for the right front foot. Then I broke the tab that attaches the fuselage to the codpiece for battroid mode. But with a dremel , gluing and a piece of a paperclip the battroid mode does not flop and the hinge holds. Did anyone else manage to break something transforming the VF-25?

Well, the LAST time a Transformers movie killed a major character, we got stuck with Rodimus Prime. At least they won't be repeating ONE screwup the franchise has made.

Killing Prime was done to sell the new line of Transformers product.

I tried a brown black mix, as that is all I have now. Subtle effect (looks ok). Will try the striaght black next.

The sv is nato black. But I suck at picture taking, so it looks gray.

New question. Panel line wash. Should I use a dark gray wash? I need a color that does not make the panel lines look like they are poping out too much.

Thanks for the quick reply. Always trying to find a shortcut to building. Hope to finish within a week.

Work'n on SV-51 Ivanov with alcad II paint. Is a coat of future required or can I go straight to the oil wash?

Finally finished the 1s to go with my 0s

The next pic I will upload will be completed with my Vf-0s next to it. Hopefully in a week.

All ways get lazy before I am completely done.

Wow that's more models then I do in a year. Nice paint scheme. Hope to see more of your work as well as others on this board.

Actually it was a paint mix of 40% purple and 40% flat red and 10% pink (kinda like a dried blood look). The real mix in the instuctions 40,40, 20 was too bright for me, so I understand why people don't like the paint scheme. I will post more pics when I get home. It's cold in NY so less skateboarding and more catch up work with Macross stuff. Hope more people post pics of their work here. After the VF-1s I'll do the Ivanov type.

thanks for the comment. But those pics are too dark.

last, getting lazy again. Might weather it or just do a VF-1s to go w/ my VF-0s

Been a while since I did a model.
