I was thinking about picking one up just because they are so inexpensive. I built one ~20 years ago when Revel released it in NA as part of the Robotech line of model kits. I don't think these ones were perfect transformation. You have to slide out the cockpit & nose cone assembly and replace it with one with the heatshield and leg connectors.

Someone at Bandai laughs maniacally...

Nice to have you back. Thought you had abandoned the project. I can sympathize, with 2 kids and a full time job, it is difficult to get any modeling done (stop staring at me VF-25S, I will get to you!!) One thing you can do for filling fine lines is to use Mr.Surfacer 500. Here is a small tutorial in case you are unfamiliar with it: http://www.swannysmodels.com/Surfacer.html I have not been able to find the 500 locally in Montreal, but I do have the 1000 and it covers pretty well without obscuring the fine details.

I live in Montreal and Future is available here at Walmart. I think I got the big bottle for $4 or something. I am sure most people on this forum have see this link before, but this is the end-all guide to Future and it's many uses: http://www.swannysmodels.com/TheCompleteFuture.html

There was one on Ebay just before Christmas. I think it sold for $150USD.

I had a friend look for me in San Francisco, one shop is charging $90 USD. A shop here in Montreal had it for $78 CDN but they are probably sold out. I got my VF-25S shipped from HWJapan for $68 CDN.
