coronadlux 22 Posted April 13, 2013 Ohh lord... another one to spend the money on. I'll start negociating with my wife from today on. Negotiation completed. Allowed to buy it. Pre-ordered at HLJ Sometimes it's better to ask forgiveness than permission. In my case, wife said ok. hahaha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
valkyriepm 6 Posted April 13, 2013 Preordered as well And the 30th anniversary vf-1 also. I don't need permission or forgiveness from my wife, but have a $$$$ on clothes and shoes revenge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Hungry 4 Posted April 15, 2013 I like it. Been wanting to get a VF-11 and this may be the one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ivorysniper 6 Posted April 15, 2013 Sometimes it's better to ask forgiveness than permission. In my case, wife said ok. hahaha Agreed !!. I'm trying to bring my wife to the beauty of the Macross fandom and she's becoming more knowledgeable every day (her words: "Why do you have to buy the one with the radar dome ?. You've got three different Thunderbolts already.You should wait until the one the girl look-a-like boy flies in Frontier comes out; that one is really beautiful"). I might have the wonderful surprise of having the Hasegawa VF-25 as a gift some day.... ...... or maybe I'm just dreaming. . Now, seriously, I like this addition to the Thunderbolt collection, althought I was expecting to have the one with the aerospace super pack first.

Gakken85 128 Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Snazzy VF-11's are my second favorite valk after the VF0 and the VF-1 Edited May 3, 2013 by Gakken85 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mechaninac 230 Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Wouldn't that make the VF-11 your 3rd favorite? I may get this kit if for no other reason than to measure the radar dish and attachment pylons to model a 1/60 version I can SLA for my Yamato 11B and C.

gwfalcon 17 Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) Nice design Spend a couple of hours and try to get a 1/60 set for my 11B Add black and white colors but not in a correct way: the software is not so intelligent... Edited May 4, 2013 by gwfalcon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwfalcon 17 Posted May 24, 2013 Nice pictures But still cannot see the shape of the gun clearly. Have to wait until the actual release I think... BTW, a small update on the bottom part for my 1/60 design. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ivorysniper 6 Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) HLJ published the box art for this kit and it is shown available for sale, in "Low Stock" and marked as a "Preorder" on the main portal. One more time, the box art is a true masterpiece (I'm guessing it was Tenjin's artwork like the previous ones). http://www.hlj.com/product/hsg65822 Edited May 29, 2013 by ivorysniper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One more time, the box art is a true masterpiece (I'm guessing it was Tenjin's artwork like the previous ones). http://www.hlj.com/product/hsg65822 Amazing art, really invokes the operational possibilities. In my mind it's like three raptors at the background and an EA-18G Grizzly as the thunderseeker running jammers with AESA radar on full tilt. Love it, really wish I could model now. Edit: gwfalcon are you going to cast that? I would be very interested to get a set for my 11B. Edited June 12, 2013 by raptormesh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Model-Junkie 3 Posted June 26, 2013 A lot of Hasegawa kits are limited run, especially the ones they re-pop with different/special decals or variants. That said, some of the other Japanese retailers, such as Hobby Search, still show the kit in stock. I am glad I picked up a few. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
