Still trying to wrap my head around Yamashita's crazy shapes.

Such fantastic photos. Is this your work? and is it the 1/72 Platz resin model

It prints out nicely as a decal and has an inbuilt alpha channel. noticed you were going to do one yourself. this is from the Fairy air force at war manual.

September Surprise!

 

Hope they release Jack as well. and any others.

Very excited to get mine.  Thanks for sharing AN/ALQ128

Also did anyone catch this last week.. brilliant price for the size.. the lights light up as well.

Also up for pre order at HLJ right now. 
we are really being spoilt This year with Yukikaze merchandise. 

Looks like the Bandai Yf-21 came out this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sadly i missed out on this one. I'm interested if anyone ended up getting one if It comes with a canopy replacement for Battroid mode as I read it comes with one but I haven't seen a photo yet. when they finally arrive could someone post a pic just so I can wallow in misery some more. Ha ha.

By the way Sparrow S.A. is such an awesome Modeler. We should invite him into the  Yukikaze forum! Anybody on X that speaks Japanese that could do That?

Hello to all that are interested in acquiring the book I have translated it for you and given you the address

Love to see a photo of your Banshee 4, have you finished it yet? only took me 15 years. Ha ha!

Has anyone ever made a proper cockpit replacement for that all-resin-one-piece cockpit that we can't ever paint?

Yeah almost done . will send you a pic once i've painted Jack.

Damn, that's pretty tempting.
At least this one won't have another crappy cockpit 😄

Well said Valkyrie. Platz if your reading this, an operable cockpit please. Oh and 2 pilots.

Final mission Mave just came out last week

How about a blast from the past.

Remember these that almost came out! 

Oomoolie toys was going to release these along with the Banshee 4.

It is possible that Platz just used their image from the 1/144 kit.

It’s totally possible.

Snakerbot I know you just put the link in. Did you notice as well?

Have you just seen hlj? There will be a Jam sensor jammer 1/72 version of the Mave coming out in Dec. the most interesting part is that the picture shows the ram jet pheonix mark 11 engines!!!!!!!!! Will we finally be getting Mave’s final version in 1/72 or is it just a picture placement mistake????????? Please let this be real!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow they are very cool. I can definitely see the xwing tie fighter colours there. Yeah rest of the mesh is done not too much to go. Have designed a lot of ground vehicles and Bax heavy armour for my upcoming story. 

Bryce has always done a great job from the get go. I’m unfamiliar with terragen, looks good. I use maya it’s been good. I’m writing a yukikaze fan fiction and currently working on mave’s cockpit. 

Wow you did a great job of that one. It look like sky crawlers but not , are they your own design?

ZOMG the Yukikaze animation will turn 20 this year...

Time to look back on my first Supersylph (Bandai 1/100 kit).

 

Beautiful work  just like your banshee. Is that Bryce scene builder as the background? You must have completed this model around 2003 -4. The super Sylph hasn’t aged at all in It’s visual appeal. Fine work my friend. 

That would be nice. I don’t think the company Flying dog exists any more  2 new novels would be great though. And the new plane models. Although my wallet hurts so bad this year already, I just forked over for a Sentinal Rook Bartley (mospeada) I might give them a miss. 
Nah!!! I’m kidding myself of course I’m going to get them. Just don’t tell the Missus. 
The 1/144 of the jam sylph Is awesome I built the paper model of the jam type 1 and scaled up the specs to make a 1/72 scale of it in sheet styrene. It’s going to be quite big. I’m going to put a little clear and Yellow plastic nose on the paper model to make it look authentic . I was really impressed that Platz included it. 

About the Jam sylph.

To quote Isamu,

At last the collection is complete!

 

I was wondering if anyone in here has read the novels. I know we're lacking an english translation of the 3rd one, but I'd love to hear Macross fan's impressions of the two that are available.

By the way 100 mega that is a very impressive collection you have there. Which one completed your collection? I’m still hunting down the Super Sylph. Absolutely crazy prices now. All you have there in that pic is expensive enough to display in a vault. Ha ha. 

Speaking of which after all these years 3.0+1.0 is out at last and I hear the reviews are great. People actually move to tears in the cinema. Can’t wait. 

The third novel was released in 2009. Unbroken arrow. I have a hot copy in my hand but alas I am not Japanese. How ever the translator of the 2 previous novels gives a brief but tantalisingly overview of the third novel without giving anything away. You can get a digital copy of both translated novels and I highly recommend reading them ‘wow’ Kambayashi wasn’t awarded best sci fi writer on a whim. You’ll love it and be left wanting more.
