Hope these help This 1/72 Airfix is a well made kit. The mold is clean and fitment is good overall. It also has the option to build 1 of 3 configurations, a B.2 (bomber), SR.2 (recon), or K.2 (tanker). Be sure to check the provided reference sheets to use the right parts and decals while building. Extra resin pilots. This is the first time I've seen anything made in Belgium I used Hataka lacquer colors C262 for the top and A217 for the ventral (thanks to Scale Hanger’s video on Youtube). Also, Vallejo acrylic putty is quite useful for filling small gaps. This masking might be an overkill, but I want to be certain there is no unwanted coloring or bleeding. This thing is BIG isn't it? The next steps are to add decals, panel line, weathering wash, and a matte coat (Tamiya TS80). https://www.facebook.com/Bryans-Macross-Workshop-100854188399106

Mine is the same, ugh >_<" I've been using "no step" and pilot names from other decal sheets and they are fine .

Thanks man. I don't have a step by step, but I shared my thoughts about this model on my facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Bryans-Macross-Workshop-100854188399106 I'm trying to keep it simple here on the Macross Forum

Add to the first post: * Handley Page Victor Strategic Bomber The Handley Page Victor was a strategic bomber for the U.N. during the Unification Wars. In addition to conventional bombing missions, the Victor can also carry a Blue Steel long-range missile for strategic nuclear strikes on the target. Near the end of war, some Victors were converted to aerial tankers. Below are Victors in the real world Royal Air Force.

No I don’t have. I just have the Inbit crabs from Moscato

Update on the first post: * Add U.N. Marine Corps The U.N. Marine Corps served in the front line during the Unification Wars. They were seen in the prologue of Macross Zero, in desert camouflage and armed with M16A2 rifles. The toy is ⅙ USMC by Soldier Story and the model is 1/35 US Airborne by Dragon, both came from the series of Operation Desert Storm in 1991. Here are the colors for the model. Tan (XF60 with XF2, 1:1), brown (XF64), pouches (XF13), Stinger missile (XF5), skin (XF15), and boots and rifles (X18). It’s also worth mentioning that Gunze weathering color and solvent give off no odor Models close up, have fun! I also created a Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Macross-Miniatures-100854188399106

I’ll buy them all

it’s a 1/72, but feels smaller. I bought this kit on Ebay

Thanks friend. I'm standing on the shoulder of giants and I'm sure there are many great tutorials on Youtube. I can share some of my thoughts about resins: * Usually fitment is not perfect because most are garage kits * Long preparation time, especially if you want the best result * May need some modification skills (cutting, drilling, putty, scribe etc.) I was inspired from Narita san's model building page. The journal of his award winning SU27 Flanker is epic. http://www.naritafamily.com/howto/Su27/photo_frame.htm The bottom line is don't worry about making a perfect model. Just get started and have fun!

Update on the first post * Add QF3000E Ghost The QF3000E Ghost is another minor aircraft in Macross. UNS deployed hundreds of QF3000Es but sadly they only appeared for a few seconds in episode one. This 1/72 kit allows open/close option of landing gears, air brake, missile bay, and arresting hook. The mold is mostly crisp and smooth, but it'll need trimming between boosters and nuzzles. It’s a simple and fun build overall. It’s an unusual looking fighter, have fun!

I got a respond from Ark Model and they said it’s not available at the moment I’ll post here if anything changes.

haha I was talking about the Monster in M Zero

From what I understand the model is a prototype 3D print, not on sell yet. Size unknown but looks small. The Chinese characters in the picture “舰匠” means "Ship Craftsman" so my guess is Ark Model. I just emailed them and maybe they will respond.

If I find out I’ll let you know

Welcome back and nice work. The VF11C is the best looking fighter in M7 to me Take care!

I wonder if a destroid Monster is able to fit in that elevator

Saw this on a Chinese Macross site. It looks small but nonetheless interesting.

Update on the first post * Add AFC-01H Legioss Officer Model I was in 5th grade when MOSPEADA was aired on T.V. My mind was blown away after watching the first episode. Despite being small, this Sentinel Legioss feels sophisticated and solid at hand. Don’t miss it if you like the show. Have fun!

Update on the first post * Add Phalanx Destroid I like the Destroids and wish there were more of them. This model isn’t so great because it has visible seaming lines, fitment is average, and no color separation. The only good thing is its price If you want to pose the Phalanx, forget it. This guy's articulation is so limited and can’t even raise the legs Have fun!

Good place to shop

Good point! Maybe I’ll change the subject

Update on the first post * Add YF19 Prototype No.3 "Bird of Prey" The Yamato YF19s are simple and effective toys. They were pioneers at the time but do feel a bit dated today. To keep them fresh, I added some water-slide decals and panel lines. The best part of this project was to make a custom Sharon Apple decal. Here are the steps if you want to create your own decals 1. Find an image and make the background transparent. I used a freeware called Lunapic. 2. Edit the image on Google Drawings 3. Print a sample and test fitment 4. When ready, print on a decal paper (recommend 600+ dpi) 5. Use bonding spray to protect your decal 6. Done! Cut it to the desirable shape and it's ready to use This is it, stay safe folks!

Update on the first post *Add YF29 30th Anniversary Panel line, masking and coating. I bought those VF100 from HLJ when they were on sale last year. Oh my, they have so many loose parts and it’s worse than I imagined When Valkyrie meets Quebley

Ah thanks. I like it, hopefully they will release the Mig 29 one day

That’s a repaint of a Calibre Wing’s F14 right? If so good work
