Just got my very first piece yesterday, 1/48th scale VF-1J Stealth Type and it's freaking amazing!!!
I'd always wanted a Valk when I was a kid watching the "Robotech" series on the Armed Forces Network in Germany, but even then I knew that the level of detail wasn't what I wanted. So I put it off to the side then eventually forgot about it. I was sitting on the computer last week, drinking some wine and feeling nostalgic, and decided to look up Macross. Lo and behold, I found this site, and then found the 1/48's. Needless to say, a week later, UPS is dropping off my Stealth and I couldn't be more pleased. The only issue so far was one of the plastic pieces in the leg shaped to look like an engine fan came off, quick fixed with some Lock-Tite adhesive.
Let's just hope the wife doesn't find out what my "toy" costs, eh?
Thanks to all of you for getting me hooked on a costly habit!!
