    I believe Chronocidal is talking about the LERX extending past the canards when they shouldn't be, according to the line art.

    They're missing their chance to do the Ba variant again... At least this time, any QC issues could be chalked up as a feature as they all get shot down within minutes by the 303's. 😛
  3. MacrossJunkie
    So, I wonder, is the fourth time going to be the charm or just more of the same QC issues? They can't possibly have ignored glaring issues for the 4th time in a row. Right guys? ...right? *grabs tank of copium and starts inhaling*

    Who wants to bet that they haven't done a thing to fix the warped/bent sniper rifle? Anyway, I see the fact that they're showing the 25G and RVF-25 with supers as a good sign towards getting the armored 25F rather than the super 25F being a one off release.

    Bogue pilots this.

    To me, it looks more like Messer's color scheme. Maybe Arad decided to steal the color scheme since Messer wasn't using it anymore 😁
  7. MacrossJunkie
    Same. I can't say it's one of my favorite designs, but I wouldn't mind a high quality version. It would probably require some ingenuity at least on the level of Sentinel's Legioss to get it to look right.

    Thanks for the summaries, guys! Oddly enough, it seems that mine is still pretty tight and can be put into awkward positions on one foot. I'm a little tempted to get another one now that I think about it. The one I have was one of my starting weathering attempts and I'd like to see how much better I could do now.

    Might be an unpopular opinion, but I find the SV-262 is at least way better looking than the 303 in all modes. I personally think the SV-303 is pretty ugly with its multicolored neon tron lines and odd looking battroid. The design might grow on me, but currently I'm not a fan. If they try to make a toy out of that, I fear those neon lines are not going to translate well in toy form (not that they translate well in any other form of media either). But yeah... I fear the 262 has probably not only fallen to the bottom of their to-do list, but impacted and broke through the bottom and fell into the abyss, taking the Arad and Chuck supers with it among other things.

    Is there something different/improved about the Arcadia version that makes the Yamato one merely a stand in? I haven't been paying much attention to the Tomahawk release, so I'm genuinely curious.
  11. MacrossJunkie
    That's a possibility I suppose. basing it off his 1J. His canon VF-4 color scheme from Macross M3 is just far too blue all over and pretty boring looking. (source: Macross Mecha Manual)
  12. MacrossJunkie
    If those ever do end up coming out, I don't expect the mass produced version of this toy to look nearly as good as this prototype that someone could spend all the time they needed to get it to look like that. I would be quite pleasantly surprised if they did manage to come pretty close.
  13. MacrossJunkie
    Given that it's Bandai, I'm surprised they didn't at least try to milk the molds a little with the other variants. It really is such a great looking design and they had unique looking knightly/royal paint schemes.
  14. MacrossJunkie
    I hadn't put much thought into it. Less than what I had paid for it for sure. Looks good. Did you use a mix of a wash and pencil? That's a great looking FB 2012 Minmay!
  15. MacrossJunkie
    Ah. then that's too bad. It looks way better than the old weathering version. Especially if it comes with all that tampo on it which the old one didn't and one would have had to put the stickers over the weathering which would have looked odd.
  16. MacrossJunkie
    Yeah, the design of the ball joints (specifically hips and arms) on the VF-25/27/29 are pretty awful. Kiki's tightening service is basically a necessity. They should do a collab and include a complimentary bottle with every purchase 😛
  17. MacrossJunkie
    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.
  18. MacrossJunkie
    Oh! Where did you get decals for the 19P?
  19. 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.
  20. MacrossJunkie
    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.
  21. 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.
  22. MacrossJunkie
    I agree with Gabe Q and Lolicon. I'm very impressed with Misa in particular.
  23. 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.
  24. MacrossJunkie
    They're also doing a premium finish Tomahawk destroid with weathering.
  25. MacrossJunkie
    Yeah, so not only is it bigger, it's wider as well.
