What if, that display diorama stand is going to fit our 1/60 VF-1's? Imagine, three of those along with a Premium Finish SDF-1 as a backdrop with a matching 'Dog Fighter' track? Perfect display, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 Haha yea that would be awfully nice if it did fit 1/60 scale vf-1s I doubt it tho and am not sure how secure it would be for 1/60 scale valks too if it did as vf-1 thrusters aren't exactly round..

That!!! is pure insanity!! so gorgeous! Even though im letting a lot of my Macross stuff go, these F-14's by Calibre Wings are definitely keepers!

Chronocidal Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) I hope they don't cheap out on the assembly or packaging this time, and go with the full set of trays the other Calibre releases get. The packaging on my Hikaru 1J version left the nose gear all broken apart because they packed it with the extended gear mounted, instead of retracted like all the other versions (no broken pieces thankfully, but the gear had to be glued together again), and the QC was nowhere near the other releases I have from Calibre. Gappy assembly, chipped paint, bent-upward wings, and parts without enough glue. It's not terrible exactly, and still displays nicely, but it's a large step down from the quality level of my VF-1 and VF-142 F-14As. Makes me curious if the Robotech releases are using a different factory. Edited June 4, 2018 by Chronocidal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read on these, the Hikaru seems to be generally worse (quality-wise) than the Roy, so it may just have been a specific run rather than a different factory.

I wonder if they'll be released to the general public under the Robotech brand. Either way, I'm seriously tempted to get one. If only one of them happened to come with a Minmay figure...

That one looks awesome. They did a great job on it. I was scared about getting these things because I could easily get sucked in to buying a fleet of F-14’s but I’m more interested in getting real world decos and after getting my first one, I’m impressed but also a bit let down about the finicky weapons so I think I’m done with them and I’ll be happy with the one I have. That carrier deck you got though...hmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xigfrid Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Very nice display @jvmacross. The deck was rather easy to get but I am still looking for the crew and the vehicles locally. These Calibre F-14 are very nice, I hope they will revisit the mold in 1:60 scale someday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on the finicky ordinance.....actually....just the ordinance that attaches to the side....more specifically the sidewinders.....the phoenix missiles attach well enough.

Yep, exactly! Those side pylons are a pain and they are the most visible from most angles so that makes it more annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
