    I'd never seen DYRL before joining this forum back in whatever it was. I got a DVD copy and still to this day I enjoy pulling it out maybe once a year to still be blown away by the quality of the animation. The music is also better than the TV show IMHO. The plot, well, whatever, it is what it is, it's cramming a whole lot into not much time. I grew up watching Robotech so actually watching Macross, Southern Cross, Mospeada and DYLR later in life in my late 20's early 30's was really fun. From there I watched Zero, mehhh..., Macross 7 - I thought it was fun, Frontier, which I still think is a close 2nd to the original and way up there on the re-watch scale, and event Delta, which I never finished...like a lot of folks here..LOL. I'm glad I got into it more, not to mention it got my deep into the BOTTEMLESS MONEY PIT this hobby is!

    @tekering - Amazing detail in the sensor eye there! I did good to paint one black stripe evenly on the clear blue part! Question....were you able to find or fashion a pilot figure? Someone here was going to make some resin or 3D prints years ago for me, but it fell through. So even though my cockpit was fully detailed and painted, and my canopy was darkened with Tamiya Smoke, I had to go no pilot...

    Back in the mid 80s I was about 10 years old, I never saw FIREFOX in the theater, but I'll always remember when it was run on ABC Sunday Night Movie night... We had a VCR by that point and I recorded all the movies with commercials cut out. My parents didn't buy movies.. Too much $$$ back then. To this day I still remember the voice over guy talking as the trailer they had cut played before the movie started.. One of the lines was "The East is about to meet Eastwood" I mean... It really doesn't get any better than that right?! 🤣 I wore that tape OUT!!! I was a model builder kid, and had a few imitations, but never anything official because there never WAS anything official. I still maintain this is one of the meanest, coolest looking planes ever thought up! Fast forward to now and my FB feed popped up a build of some guys FIREFOX. I Googled it and a few weeks later... YUPP! I went with 1/72 for space reasons, but I would have LOVED a 1/48!!! I haven't done a resin kit in a while since the Moscoto Invids, but I'm gonna try to get back on that horse and makes this look good! For good ole CLINT! 😁

    @tekering - Someday in the future, can my boy green/orange Invid royal battaloid and your girl purple Invid royal battaloid go out on a date? I SOOO wish I had had the $$$ back then to buy THREE so I could have actually done all 3 schemes of that particular mecha!

    Looks great @Chas! Back about 7 years ago I scoured the internet for some reasonable facimily of Macross pilots for my (still as yet not finishd) 1/72 Cat's Eye recon plane. I found two little resin 1960s French High Altitude pilots that looked cool from somewhere in Malaysia and ordered them. They still sit, painted, in the Cat's Eye waiting for me to finish the build, which I can do know thanks to a fellow MW member who recently made new canopies for me! Fast forward to me WANTING pilots in my 1/72 Academy Blackbird... I was looking for canopy masks on the interwebs and found a set on a French website. My eye just also happened to catch a link for... 1960s High Altitude Pilots..! I'm like.... OK, SOLD! So I finally got them from France today. Yup, exact same figures. Glued the arms on and after a bit of trimming.. BOOM! My SR-71 will now have more or less accurate looking pilots after I get them painted! 😁
