I ordered the VF-171 nightmare plus

Well, it is designed for 1/72, but you could always rescale the stl to 1/48.

That is a nice print man I wonder how it'll look in SLA. FDM always has those ridges... I finally managed to motivate myself to finish the nose of the VF-9. Looks a look better and much sleeker now. Constructive feedback welcome.

I've a Bandai Recast of the Quedlun-Rau in my basement

hhahahahahaahahahha oh wow hahahaahahah

Instant pre-order done

OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! *squeals like a little girl* Get me one for Christmas!

@MechTech I bow to you man!

By that logic we would have a ghost X-9 by now, as it is shown on the YF-21 box art. @SteveTheFish HMR = High Metal R - bandai toy line.

Gunpla is fun. Just add tamiya black panel line stuff and rub excess off with a rubber. Easy results

Digital workbench ... in KSP2 ... Kid wanted to see a YF-19 fly. edit: quick Update from the real world workbench. My kid is obsessed with my Master Grade 1/100 RX-78-2 and he always wants to play with it. So I got him a HG 1/144 RX-78-2 for around ~10€ off ebay. the build took roughly one hour. Articulation of the joints is really impressive for this scale. Nothing to compare to MG or PG, but still impressive. I’d recommend it.

You can produce basically anything in China, even if it is not going to be released in China.

China has some restrictive laws, especially for video games. Releasing something in China isn't too easy.

Kids I tell you…

I have the ones for the 1/72 yf-19. really good quality!

They will eventually re-issue them frequently. I saw that happening at least two times now (could be more though), so you just have to wait. You can also check Jasmine Models photo etched sets if you are up for something fancy. https://jasmodel.shop/products/248001-pe-upgrade-parts-for-hasegawa-1-48-macross-plus-yf-19 There are some re-sellers that sell the set for outrageous prices if you really want the original hasegawa ones. PS: Welcome to the board!

it is fully poseable!

Workbench stuff! I didn‘t have time or space to go on with modell kits in the past weeks/months, so I got this for 2.62€ from the TEMU online store Temu is some Ali Express style china store. They had a new customer promotion, so instead of 30€ I got it for 2.62€. PS: no advertisement for the store, because everything else (if not promoted) is just the same stuff as on Ali Express. Anyway, this was worth every little cent.

@wm cheng that is an awesome galactica! @electric indigo glory to your house!

Nice - I was thinking about purchasing one of these as well. How long does the charge hold up?

Not really my workbench, but I gave my kid my over 20 years old yf-19 to play with. He loves planes. I knew what would happen and I didn’t mind, because I have a brand new YF-19 kit waiting for me in the basement. this is what pros call „natural heavy weathering“ XD the kit falling apart due to heller glue (useless kit glue, takes ages to dry) and was heavily damaged by my siblings less than a year after I finished it. It was in bad shape already…

They HG YF-29 looks super bulky ...

hahaha - yeah, good point. Maybe you can use gears and transmit them to single axis dials or something. That might work, but maybe that is a bit of overkill hahaha.

Dude ... hahahahaah that is awesome. You are missing the seven segment display on the UHF radio for the freq. You gonna build that? Is the dial working on the rotary switch for the TACAN control panel? Gonna have the numbers on it as well? I know exactly which plane this is from, but want to let others give it a try as well.

ah okay!
