NZEOD Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Snagged my 2, 5 left, get in quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Jones Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Looks like 1 left this morning -- got my hands on mine ( + an impulse buy of the atmospheric booster launch vehicle ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF-1A Grunt Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Thanks for the heads up, I grabbed the last one! This will be my first venture into resin aircraft modeling, so I'm not sure how soon I'll get around to this project, but I wanted to get one while they were available. There's probably no guarantee as to if / when they'll run them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 The money I set aside for this ended up being used for something else... So missed this one. But I'm sure they'll be another run made. As long as people are asking for it, and Blappy has recently acquired the molds, so I'm sure it'll show up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Jones Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 My shipment came in -- quick one over of the cast; looks quite nice. I can take some pics tonight if folks are interested. Nice to see the canopies still mounted to the bucks from the forming process to keep them from getting crushed ( or at least it appears that way ). Also picked up the carrier vehicle for the atmospheric booster -- holy geez that's a huge set of resin chunks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see the canopies still mounted to the bucks from the forming process to keep them from getting crushed ( or at least it appears that way ). That's what I didn't like however. I was afraid of ruining the canopies before even getting them off the bucks. Those are tight fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZEOD Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 mine just popped off easy as. Its a shame they dont include the spare canopy set that are mentioned in The Capts assembly sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Jones Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I haven't messed around with the canopies yet, but I'd assume if you have the buck and access to a vac table ( which I know not everyone does -- I don't ) -- then you could get a new one made if you have a problem; definitely worth holding on to I would think.

NZEOD Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) yep, and a quick vacuum cleaner vac table only takes and afternoon to build and use http://www.instructables.com/id/Vacuum-Forming-Rig/ http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Vacuum-Forming/ Edited October 5, 2016 by NZEOD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slide Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 Mine just arrived. I'm very impressed with her. I'll definitely pick up another if the opportunity presents itself! [that way I don't have to choose between stowed and in-flight] now the question is paint-scheme... the JASDF scheme looks like a winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slide Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 with ubiquitous Anime girl decal on the dome... I was considering doing the dome as the UNSpacy roundel... I have lots of other Macross models with such Radar Domes for ubiquitous anime girls... but that said ubiquitous anime girl is always an option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZEOD Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 really a prerequisite... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
