Got mine yesterday too - it's extremely well molded, looks great, can't believe the microscopic detail at it's size (retractible turret and battlepod launch hatches even!), and my first reaction? AWWWWW IT'S SO CUTE.

TV cockpit panel and ladder please! Also, love those DYRL box launchers!

The Aerodrome WW1 Aviation Website It's a LONG-running site with a very active form (see "forum" link on the main page) full of model builders ALMOST as obessed with WW1 aviation as we are with Macross here!

So, hope you don't mind cool8or, I shared this posting link of your awesome build over at The Aerodrome WW1 modeling forum, just to see what the response would be. I think really got a kick out of it

Was too busy drooling over the missiles to notice the flaps. One set of those too please!

That is so amazing! Great work! As a fan of both Macross modeling AND WW1 modeling, it's....just.....beautiful.

Got mine last week and it's AMAZING! Thanks for making these available, the casting is impeccable (to be expected but honestly it looks even better in person!) - and besides, it'll certainly be the easiest resin sci-fi subject we've ever built - two parts, four colors, no decals

Thank you for making these available - please bring on the rest of the fleet!!!!!!

I'll be interested in one set! (4 pylons / 12 missiles) for sure!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!! *licks chops*

Yes, yes it does. But, since Hasegawa would never do such a thing, more likely, they'll be using some of the parts for a...dare we dream.....1/48 BATTROOOOOIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!! Got mine from HLJ today, and this kit is genuinely a work of art! The thing that most impressed me was the perfectly in register Hasegawa in-house decals where the white is actually WHITE, not a bone cream color like in many of their older military kits. Two minor complaints though: The all Japanese instructions using only Gunze Sangyo paint numbers (gotta dig up a reference chart!) and lack of underwing pylons/ordnance. VERY minor complaints, mind you. And hoping they have a weapon set on the way, including both triple missle racks from the TV series and the UUM-7 box launchers as seen in DYRL movie.

Already have one on preorder from HLJ myself, and have to say, I agree 100% - couldn't believe that the price was around USD $40.00! Trust me, a lot of Hasegawa's new tool 1/72 scale military aircraft kits (especially their Lancaster, B-24 Liberator, etc.) cost at least twice as much - and this Valk is going to be HUGE in comparison when built. Clearly they're expecting to sell them by the ship-load at that price....and I have every confidence they'll succeed! Next up is probably a VF-1S, then....hopefully a VT-1D, Super, Strike, and Battroid kits

I have quite the fleet myself, so yes, I'd also be interested in a 1/5000 scale if it's feasable someday. But, this could be considered HERESY, but 1/2500 would be in scale with my....resin Star Trek ships in this scale Now THAT would be a cool "first encounter" diorama!

Wow, everything here in this thread is amazing, but..... >___> <___< ....does it make me sound like a perv to admit I'd love that "Sheryl Nome Red Bikini" kit? .___> <__<

WHOA. A SALAN SCOUT SHIP. Your work is outstanding!!!!!! I'm interested in one of the 1/2500 scale kits please!!!!!!! I can also pay with PayPal. Ben
