One thing to note: The kit cannot be started as of the start date of the contest (Jan 16th, 2017). Last time, people were posting kits that were already completed but they were disqualified.
You cannot post your progress anywhere other than the HobbyLink TV site. Once the contest is over, you are free to post to other sites.
If you are serious about entering, you should watch the video above. I will be entering as I wanted to start my VF-31J.

I have dreams about a 1/48 Perfect Grade VF-1 with removable panels and light effects like the old school Perfect Grades.
-
I am disappointed they did not do a Macross Delta emblem on the stand. You would think with 5 planes in the series, they could have spent the R&D on nicer looking stand base.

Aren' t the web excusive items made to order, making them slightly easier to get? At least i have never had a problem getting the add-on packs. Getting the valk, on the hand, is another story.

I got a confirmation email from AmiAmi today that they were able to secure a preorder I put in on Saturday. There may be a bunch of cancellations which explains why there are some additional units available. Good hunting, 5 days to go.

Amiami had pre-orders open tonight. Don't know if it is a good price, though.

I built my 31 and thought it was great as well. I would love to see how TomyTec makes these things.
For anyone who has not started on theirs yet, be aware they are under-gated. When cleaning up the gate marks, there are two areas you need to clean. I have attached a picture from a Bandai instruction booklet that shows you how to remove the gates. If the gates are not fully removed, you will not be able to get rid of all the seams.

Quickly glancing at the third shot in this set, I thought you already had the pod in flames
Great work! Can't wait to see the final product. I just added the Tamiya F-14A Tomcat to the backlog... Should get around to it in 2250 or so... Beautiful kit, highly recommended.
Not happy with the wearing on the feet yet but close to Future sealing then decals then dirt and oil time and done.

Hey NZEOD,
judging from the building instructions: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10034869z/70/1, it looks like it has articulation in the foot.
-
Ithink the had a sign up at the tokyo hobby show indicating spring 2017 for the VF31 in 1/72 scale to go with the draken.
-
It's 1/48.
That's quite a markup from tamiya usa considering the japanese price is 7800 yen.

From the Tokyo Hobby Show:
I am not sure what the second image is, but it looks like TV version parts?

I concur with NZEOD. Spilled 1/2 a bottle of Duraluminum yesterday...

Hi Gatsu,
This is the site I use when I need really small magnets:

You can check out WMCheng's build up on the Bandai VF-25F on using magnets to hold parts together: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=691

Here is a Youtube tutorial:
Basically, you need to sand it with progressively finer grit sandpaper and then polish it so that it is clear again.

And since we are on the topic:
I think I'm in love..

I am really liking the clear red parts on the Draken III. It is too bad they only did partial parts separation for the gold portions.
-
Does anyone know the actual release date for this? I know they say Dec 2016 but will it be beginning or end the month. The reason I am asking is I may be in Tokyo for the holidays and will try to time it around the release date. If I am going, I will be willing to pick up a few for forum members who miss out on the presales (If I can find them).

ok...I'll bite...what is it???
I know! I know!
It is a J7W1 Shinden painted with X-Wing colours. The question is, is it the Zoukei Mura version?

The kits does not need to be purchased from HLJ, only available for purchase from HLJ, so that others can buy it if they like your worksince thus is a promotional exercise for them. not sure what this means for the bandai star wars kits.
There are already people announcing the kits they are building and showing 1/2 completed models with pained details. If you are going to cheat, at least make an effort to cheat.
