Awesome man! I‘ve done some paperwork yesterday. had to many cardboard boxes flying around and decided to build this. Glides through the air like an unfolded box. Hahaha did some pre-shading on the VF-19A, X-29 and VF-1A.

This looks more purple than blue. On the original artwork and the Macross VF-X 2 game itself, it is more a cerulean blue with a slight purple tint. That is why I am doing purple as a base shade for my 1/72 VF-19A and then going to spray cerulean blue over it. I took some screenshots from the game to show. This is the after the My Fair Lady mission, in earth orbit, fighting against a ghost V-9 prior to the battle against Macross 13. I mean, your color looks really awesome, just not game accurate

Well, just get the normal yf-19, paint it black and add carbon fiber details

You know what would be cool? A YF-19 re-issue with fast packs and a fold booster

@Big s awesome front mission kit! @arbit good work! I like the bridge bunnies @derex3592 that reliant looks so nice man Some updates on the CF-116 (canadian F-5B). I struggled scratch building a new canopy, so I used CAD and original blueprints to make a canopy. So here is a quick test print as a proof of concept. I either need to adjust the canopy to fit the kit or adjust the kit to fit the canopy. Probably going to adjust the kit, as the canopy is kinda scale

Oh man ... Kakizaki and Roy are super tall! How are they supposed to fit into their planes?

Time for some updates. Base shade color applied to the x-29. The color in use might be known by many here. The name is „Radome“, which is the color of Hasegawas YF-19. Base shade done for the VF-1. When airbrushing this I was a bit confused as I saw no change in tone. It appears that my primer has the same tone as my semi gloss medium light grey. Only difference? One is mate, the other semi-gloss. nose: with baseshade exhaust piece: primer only And I did some work on the VF-22. After what seems to be ages, Max finally sees daylight once again. Some of the grey managed to get under masking tape. I will have to remove that carefully later. The edges of the masked areas are a bit frayed. Need to fix that as well.

Aww man

Found one on twitter that has "minimum paint job". Only the canopy and the gears are painted from what I can tell. Edit: An apparently someone is already doing heavy modding to make a battroid version from the Wave kit.

Well - I'd go for number 5 then

@Bolt re-scribing is… there are no nice words. It is a tedious process and needs much patience. There is no easy way to do it. The easiest so far was with Hasegawa trytools, at least from my experience. I primed the X-29 and I still need to rescribe some of the panel lines. It annoys me. Hahaha The VF-19A is basically done priming now. No further sanding needed. It can go into the pre-shading queue now. Here are the current stages of the VF-1, X-29 and VF-19A. Found some sanding stuff on the VF-1 after priming the VF-19A and X-29. will prime that when I am done with scribing and more sanding on the X-29. For pre-shading I decided on the following… VF-19A: purple base color with black shading along the panel lines. X-29: beige/sand base color with dark brown shading along the panel lines. VF-1: light grey base color with dark blue shading. Still much work to do here.

Looks really nice

Oh… hahahaha. Well, I never opened mine, so I was not aware of the large color print. @Thom ah, yeh that’s cool for me it was: another day, another canopy mask. Prepared the grumman x-29 for priming. the canopy is the horror as the panel lines of the kit are worn out and really fine, barely noticeable. I scratch along all of them with the trytools from Hasegawa. I‘ll see how it turns out after the first primer coat.

My special polishing compound is tooth paste. XD @Rock Ooooh yeah! I have the 1/48 YF-19 in my stash. Not sure when I am going to build that thing. It is huge. How are the Jasmine model 1/48 PE parts? I only got the Hasegawa ones. The adjustments on the scheme give it a little bit of Frontier/Delta touch to it @Bolt Thanks man! @Thom Thanks a lot! That Battle Star looks like a lot of work, placing all the panels on your own haha.

So much nice stuff on the thread. I cannot comment it all Little progress today. Mostly putty and sanding. Really small application of milliput on some small gap of the plamax vf-1. When I accidentally spilled tamiya extra thin cement on my cutting mat, it actually hit my vf-19a as well. Unfortunately, the canopy. On top of that, I touched it with my finger. so, lets see how we can get this nice and shiny again. Sandpaper grid 320 first. Then grid 600 sanding sponge. Looks worse than before hahaha. Then 1500 sanding sponge. Looks semi gloss now. After sanding with 2000 sanding sponge, I started polishing with special polishing paste. Almost as good as new! If you are super cheap and need decent polishing paste, I‘d recommend tooth paste. I use the same stuff to polish away scratches from CDs. Works miracles! And then, canopy masking time! canopy masking is an art form XD I did some more sanding here and there, as well as re-scribing panel lines on the VF-1, the VF-19A and the X-29. Having so much kits in queue at once always feels fun due to the mix and variety. Going to finish priming on the VF-19A and the X-29 soon, and then it will be color coat time.

Well, they have different colored spures and so on, but it is mostly just white. The decals will not do much though.
-
Build log Number 357998 The reprinted Hasegawa decals fit well with the plamax kit. Finished up the cockpit and masked it for priming. then prime time next will be checking for seams and missed gaps, then filling and sanding, and then priming again

Fair haha - yeah, roy is pushing the valks like crazy.
-
Such a dirty VF-1... to the car wash! haha! Nice build though

Time to learn japanese then XD
