    @nightmareB4macross - it is a fun kit so far...however....there's looooooots of fiddly very small PE to deal with on this one, and I'm not the best roller, bender of microscopic PE, we'll see how it all goes. @Big s - Ohh man, I hope you didn't buy the silver one on my recommendation....I'm gonna feel really bad if that's the case!

    Ok, confession time.... I'm sure you've heard the old saying "don't marry the girl until you lived with her for a while"....LOL.. Well... same rule applies with small portable air compressors. The little silver rechargeable one just wasn't cutting the mustard. It was great at first BUT the EXTREMELY odd sized attachment was a royal PITA honestly. I ordered adaptors on top of adaptors and nothing worked. The only thing I could get to work was my Iwata and now it's airvalve is DOA for some reason, 🫣 and more than that I wanted a hose and the battery just wasn't lasting as long as I wanted or I'd forget to charge it.. So long story short I upgraded to this for $65.00 off Amazon. Plug in to wall power? Check. NORMAL sized air hose connection? Check!!! Free half way decent airbrush with 3 needles AND a moisture trap? Check! Holder for airbrush on side of mini compressor? Check. GSI Creos. 03 working like a champ. Noise level? Maybe a couple of db louder than the little silver one but still very quiet. I'm happy now. 😁

    OK....after a solid hour + this morning when I was semi-fresh and the house was quiet, I sat down with this thing. Turns out my problem was this --- yesterday when the arms popped off the 1st time, and MANY times after that, I had been snapping them back on the slide rods the wrong way. I had snapping down from the top --- NOPE -- gotta snap em from the SIDE, VEEERY hard to tell that from the B&W instruction photos. @jenius didn't cover that in his VF-0 transformation video, which I rewatched this morning.. just FYI @jenius might want to mention that on the OD. Just my .02. If you don't you will NEVER get the arms to collapse forward enough to peg into the legs. Other things were just off as well until I got that figured out. After that, things more or less went together correctly. I still maintain this one is the fiddliest HM-R's yet to get everything tabbed in tight in fighter mode. It ain't easy, and god help you if you wanna snap in the gunpod at some point..LOL. I think I'll go back to battroid and he can stand next to my Arcadia OD that stays in fighter mode. Hope this helps anyone else having issues out!

    If I hadn't watched Clone Wars and most of Rebels, I would be completely LOST watching Ahsoka.

    Got mine yesterday and opened it up this morning, it is a gorgeous figure, however, I'm not quite loving it so far....it's REALLY fiddly IMHO or I have fists of ham because I never transform anything anymore...I got to Gerwalk no problem, but fighter is fighting me, now I'm 100% sure it's me, but it was to the point to where I had to put it away this morning before I got upset and broke something. Anyone else having trouble getting the head to collapse all the way down for fighter??? Also, like EVERY Macross Bandai release, the ARMS are my kryptonite, especially at this scale. Yamato had SUUUUCH a better system IMHO. I'll wait for a @jenius video to see what I'm doing wrong I suppose. Still happy I got it, the rainbow canopy is AWESOME, and the color scheme is great.

    I stopped Rebels for no reason really, just life in the way after whatever season ender it was with Ahsoka and Vader going at on top of some pyramid after what's his face got blinded. I remember that season being pretty darn good, maybe I should rewatch and finish it before Ahsoka....???

    The reason I did the white mottling was #1 I just wanted to practice doing it on a small aircraft, and #2, to lighten up the entire thing so the base color for the cammo wouldn't be to dark. It's a crappy photo, but you can still make out some it through the tan yes.

    Updates! Typhoon is finished and put to sea this morning.... Watch out Yankee American scum! Going back to my teenager roots, @electric indigoMr. Electric Indigo sir, submitted for your approval, I have prepped and primered and got my base color down on F-5E. I wanted this kit in flight, however the kit didn't want to do that, so, I had to cut apart gear bay doors and do all kinds of hacking and filling on the underside, but it looks ok to me. Primered in Mr Surfacer 1500 Black and then mottled with Tamiya Flat White. My new MRP Slovakian TAN went on for the base coat. Veeery nice paint. Pre-thinned for airbrushing so nothing wasted if you have leftover! Right back in the bottle! Next up....going to try my hand at free handing the cammo colors with my GSI Creos point 02... Should be interesting! Stay Tuned!
