Too soon to tell, but model sets will probably be out of production. So buy while you can.

Will this really happen? Don't tell me these things because I'm a hoarder by nature! It'll whip up an unstoppable buying frenzy. I already have hundreds of kits.

That is looking fantastic. Too often I see this type of dio and the lights at the feet aren't diffused enough nor... "voluminous", I guess... enough to look convincing. But this is both, and the result is, well, looking fantastic.

Thanks!! I used 3 micro smd leds on each foot with one resistor of 1.4 k. All connected to a 9v battery.

I still gonna add additional weapons, a missile firing and the super parts.

The whole model looks great, esp the water effect. The 'exhausts' from the packs on the otherhand, are the only things I don't like. Sorry.

They look more like an explosion effect, rather than an effect depicting an exhaust, and also something I don't recall seeing in the anime. In my personal opinion, I think the model would look just as great without them. And thinking about what's going on in the dio, the Valkyrie is in more of a hover rather than trying to go as fast as possible, so I would assume that the superpacks would be throttled back in this instance.

Good point!! Later I’ll repaint it with with to clear it a lot, leaving just the back more dark.

I don’t recall any anime scene with super parts on earth. I just invented it ; )
