I'm guessing this is the second wave without the extra flight stand?

I've a feeling it's still the same one with stand. Title is "limited edition".

So is the 1/24 Patrol Car being restocked?

This appeared in my Hobby Search news letter today.

It arrived a few days ago. So lucky I was able to get one because of your post.

After all these years waiting I finally own a Patlabor Command car 1/24 scale.

I think a picture is worth a thousand words, that's what I think.  

That does look worth the $135. BUT, the seller increased the price when I was ready to buy! now it's $160!

Let us know how it goes, is the yellowing really bad?  Google says you can use Hydrogen peroxide, oxy laundry booster and some sunshine.. might work

Although you are not painting the whole thing, so might be easier to mask and paint.. 

yellowing is bad. I'm still undecided if i'll pull everything apart then paint or as you suggested masking it. Yup, i'll post progress pictures.

Here are the instructions:

You're supposed to use a piece of the white cloth that covered your Ingram, hope this helps

 

 

Oh, man! Thank you so much! This  is really helpful too because I’m thinking of repainting a severely yellowed CLAT I recently bought. THANK YOU!!!

The above mentioned waist thing on unit 1 (that you can repair following a Yamato PDF) and that this summer you'll want to get this:

Yamato 1/24 Patlabor Type 98 Command Car. Summer release, price TBA

Hi, do you know where I can find this PDF? i'm 8 years late to the game. LOL

Just FYI that is most likely the unpainted, unfinished model for that price. I have the completed, prepainted one and it is beautiful; main issue is Shinobu doesn't really stand on the car's rim like that and I had to position her on the base with the door open as if she was stepping out. Also Shinge slides off the back easily so I stuck him with the rear antenna between his legs and he stays on. Maybe I was supposed to glue them on but would rather not so I just use these work-arounds. Great set though, highly recommended for serious fans of the series.

There's one review of the item and it said that the figures are painted already. What do you guys think?

Hi, maybe you guys could help me out. I've had my Yamato Patlabor 1:24 in storage for years and recently taken it out for photos. But when I posed it the thing won't stand upright because of the waist joint  being too loose. I searched for solutions on Youtube but could not find any.

Looks great without the distracting colors.

I couldn't understand what you meant bout your first post that's why asked you "ano?".

ano?

Probably '94 too, on WoWow with no subs at all. I was living in Manila at that time and for some reason we get WoWow on cable. Saw it again, this time dubbed on DVD arpund '99.

I love it! For those of you who built a 1/48 before, did you have any problems with the base color (aside from white) showing through the kite decal? I had to paint a white circle first on a brown base color for my VF-1A.

Nice and clean! I like it!

Guys, if you get the 30th anniversary kit please, please save the manual for me. : ) I have a spare 1:48 and I think i'll just order the decals to save money. : )

Anytime! Lots of cool items there, prices are very fair too.

I'm glad we're all on board with getting & using these 3M masks, creepy when you think just how toxic those fumes can be, not worth a trip to the ICU.

I have been using 3M respirators since 2002. Before respirators I used to spray straight from the can while holding my breath then running away from the paint area. LOL.

Since we're on the topic of respirators, do guys use the particulate filter too? I use lacquer thinner from Home depot for cleaning my airbrush.

Thanks for the link 505th!
