    Too late for me, as I've stickered and weathered my 19P many years ago, but I really appreciate knowing that there are other decals sets out there beyond what's available on eBay.
  2. MacrossJunkie
    Oh! Where did you get decals for the 19P?
  3. MacrossJunkie
    Ah, dangit... I gave in and decided to get the premium finish version from HLJ. It was one of two remaining in their inventory. My eyesight isn't as good as it used to be and I don't want to strain them while cutting stickers or decals to apply on the regular one I have. Not sure what I'll do with the regular one. Either sell it, give it to a friend, or repaint it with a different scheme. I've already panel lined it, so selling is probably out.

    Yeah, I was mostly kidding when I suggested that and would have been very surprised if you actually tried. 😄 The red stripes look good regardless of how you accomplished it. It definitely would have been difficult to paint it, especially on something that small of a scale.
  5. MacrossJunkie
    Did you use a pin vice to drill the holes? The red stripes look pretty clean and uniformly done. Looks good overall! If you want to add a little a little more detail, you could also add the arrows that should be on the circular part of the head laser.

    I agree with Gabe Q and Lolicon. I'm very impressed with Misa in particular.
  7. MacrossJunkie
    Looks great with the stickers trimmed and applied and the added panel lining. Good job 👍 Yeah, I have three HMR's. The Monster, Spartan, and the VF-2SS. The first two were pretty good. The latter was trash, imo. It felt so cheap and disappointing. I really regretted getting it. Even the SAP didn't save it for me.

    They're also doing a premium finish Tomahawk destroid with weathering.
  9. MacrossJunkie
    Yeah, so not only is it bigger, it's wider as well.
  10. MacrossJunkie
    Mirage's is even bigger. I'll take a pic for comparison in a bit.
  11. MacrossJunkie
    Yeah, in this case if you compare to the cg model, it's actually too big on the toy and making more work for them in the end which is strange.
  12. MacrossJunkie
    Did the wings come out straight in the production version or are they still kinda warped like the prototypes that were on display? They look fairly straight to me based on these pics, but it's hard to tell without seeing it head on in fighter or gerwalk mode.
  13. MacrossJunkie
    Interesting. I just noticed how even the alignment of the tampo printing can differ. For example, look at the tips of the wing insignias between mine and his. Ignoring the fact that they made the insignia too big to begin with and shouldn't be extending out all the way to the shoulder plates, you can see the differences between Sokeijon's and mine. The tip of the blue wing on his has no gap between that and the painted white section, while mine does and therefore is a little better aligned. The tip of his red wing is better aligned than mine as the blue space is a little wider on mine. Meanwhile, the white part I highlighted in green in that same area is practically non-existent on his.

    That sucks when certain colors or whole lines of paint are no longer being made. What part of the ventral fins need to be painted red? Is it something that was missed or just adding some personal touches to it?
  15. MacrossJunkie
    It doesn't look like it can based on the shape of the canopy not matching the shape of the cockpit where the black anti-glare area is. It's almost like it was meant to be displayed with the canopy open and so they didn't pay much attention to it. Cleaning out all the dust that collects inside would be a pain though with it left open. I think if one were to somehow try to force it down, the canopy would crack and break.
  16. MacrossJunkie
    By my judgment, it's more copper than bronze. I'd say it's about 80%-ish copper and about 20% rose gold mixed in. It's not pink, but not purely copper either. Looks that way to me both in person and in photos on my monitors.

    I finished weathering Max's YF-29. Worked on it on and off over the past few weeks. I'll take some more pics with and without the supers later. I need to start deleting more photos from my Flickr account because it's getting near that 1000 photo limit and the price they're charging for pro these days is just not worth it for what I'm using it for.
  18. MacrossJunkie
    That would be @jenius
  19. MacrossJunkie
    I don't really understand what counts as a variant and what doesn't anymore. Ozma's 29 has a completely different head unit and I assume possibly slightly different avionics, but it's still just called a YF-29. Rod's YF-29 is given a B variant designation, but at least on the outside, looks no different. Then there's the VF-31AX. There's a bunch with different head units, but all just called the VF-31AX.

    Anyone else notice how Bandai didn't actually fully paint the frame of the canopy to the edges? So that when the canopy is closed, it looks like there's a gap below the canopy because there's a small line of unpainted plastic beneath the painted frame. Another strange issue that wasn't a problem with previous releases. Fortunately it's an easy fix with a black paint marker, but it's still another thing I shouldn't have had to do. If this thing didn't look so good, I'd be more upset about all the issues I've had with it out of the box.
  21. MacrossJunkie
    In my opinion, it doesn't look so bad if you give it a panel line wash to bring out the details. I don't have the supers for the 25F or S, but on the RVF and G, it doesn't look too bad after doing that, imo. That said, I still prefer the crotch piece included with the armored parts as those are color matched.
  22. MacrossJunkie
    In the survey, I said I wanted to see a Macross Elysion or Gigasion.
  23. MacrossJunkie
    Judging by that pic, it looks like they chose to display the 25F with the bendy PVC lasers. Why even bother including them at this point? Even the YF-29 reissue and Max's did away with them and only have the hard plastic ones. Edit: wait, I think they did include the PVC ones with Alto's re-issue. I can't locate the box so can't confirm.
  24. MacrossJunkie
    NY has been dead for a while. Strange that they're unaware. It would be like a survey saying "Where do you usually stream movies from?" and one of the choices was "Blockbusters".
  25. MacrossJunkie
    Cool. I hope Bandai and BW actually pay attention to the results.
