HAH! I remember seeing those guys in the park last time I was in Tokyo (ca 2006).

Has anyone tried painting this kit yet? I was going to try and paint it using Tamiya Spray AS series. Any recommendations?

Ah, unfortunately it is not.

I have a loose YF-21 if you're still looking.

Yeah, definitely down.

Pre-orders for this line just went up on BBTS: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/menu.aspx?menu=3318

What, no Glaug on display? Haha...

The brown shade is the same for both. The white on the sdfm version is bright white and the dyrl version is off white.

I'm down for the squadron book if I can get it from hlj.

Well I'm interested.

Eff, want...but...can't...

Bump. Anyone feel like letting go of their 1/60 waterslides?

Another note: if I recall correctly the Army didn't use nametapes until the Cold War.

maybe I'm just old but I keep thinking about that movie when the US and Russia built these supercomputers and by the end of the film they took over the world. I can't remember the title though...maybe because I'm old.

Colossus: The Forbin Project?

Hey, is anyone willing to sell their 1/60 waterslide decal sheet from either the Yamato 1/60 unpainted kit

OR

the waterslide sheets that came with the new Arcadia 1/60 DYRL VF-1S valks?

Surely someone out there isn't going to use 'em, right?

Hit me up if you're willing to sell.

Thanks!

MrK tweeted that gray molded kits are a possibility.

I'm not looking down on your choice, I'm just saying the CF type color schemes in just different colors aren't

Very appealing, Alaska base being one.. Is still pretty boring. Good for the collectors, but boring for people wanting

More range in designs.

Yeah, if we had grey molded unbuilt kits I'd probably buy 5 of them.

I'm excited about the variety of weapons we'll hopefully get with this release

I don't think it'll be that big a deal. If you look closely, the VF-X had a darker/lighter grey split paint scheme and it turned out fine.

...now they've sort of watered down the look via committee, trying to make everyone happy.

This is always the biggest danger with taking too much feedback. It goes both ways.

Well, the 0D does already have a CF repaint option. So that's 2 schemes right there.

And maybe they could include Wolfpack markings like they did with the -0A.

Hah, I know it won't happen, but I like the cf grey better than the blue.

This was posted on twitter a while back. I think the VF-0D is a good guess.

I'd definitely buy the VF-0D, without a doubt.

No way on the VF-14. Sorry.

Given how much tweaking Mr. K has done to get the YF-19 colors right, I'm pretty sure he'll work out the kinks on the Alaska Base variant.

Yeah, I would definitely buy one of the soldiers as well.

That's really smart. I need to try that idea out myself.
