Sweet-1

The 2nd last one I put in was $175 it stood for a few seconds, then was outbid, so I had another screen with $220 waiting (luckily). I clicked confirm with about 1 second left.

I hope I wasn't bidding against any other MW members. If I was I apoligize, but I've wanted this kit for ages.

Thanks Aplha... I thought I had to phone in sick this morning, but I forgot it was Remembrance day. I just about lost it with 4 seconds to go but I got another bid in with 1 second left.

I'm so happy now!

Nice...Real nice!

I always liked the CF color scheme.

Thanks for the tips.

The auction ends at 9:00 my time, I think I'm due to have the flu that day...sorry boss. But it wouldn't surprise me to lose it with 10 seconds left, it's happened alot lately.

SHHH! I'm the high bidder and I want one REAL BAD!

Borrow away!

I don't know if Ken is still selling them or not. I lost his email, but he is a regular on this board.

Edit----Found his email, will ask him later.

Zero-Mare, it's a recast from Valkyrie (MW member) and it's an awesome model. As for size, it's 1/72 and it's just slightly smaller than the Hasegawa VF-1 at 8 1/2 inches long by 6 inches wide.

Thanks guys. I was actually asking if there were any canon spots for the lights. I've been cruising the aircraft resource center and online for actual placements, now I just want to double check where they would be on this bird.

This model has had a rough life since I got it last year. It was dropped and broke one of the front wings, then my son's Jack Russel Terrorist got into the modelling room and chewed it up badly, (Thanks for the replacement parts Ken), and has gone through numerous paint strippings to get a scheme I'm happy with. After the puppy incident, I was debating whether or not to do a battle damaged or forced landing diorama, but changed my mind.

Here are some pics of my 3/4 done VF-4. I still have to finish the weathering and the weapons load is attached with white glue just to see how it looks.

My question is, where would the navigation and running lights be located. I'm going to drill a small hole and put in silver then transparent paint (Red, green whatever), and fill with some 5 min epoxy. I just want to confirm the locations.

Pics were taken in a rush, so sorry about the quality.

Here it is (almost done... finally).

VF-9 all the way.

Man, I can hardly wait to get mine.

Awesome, simply awesome. Is there any chance of a flightdeck type picture featuring all of your models? I'd love to see as many as possible side by side to show the different configurations, types and sizes. Now I definately have to get off my butt and finish some of my incomplete valks.

Nope, yours is better. Thanks.

Thanks Thor. I just got into macross last year. I'm still pretty much in the dark, I haven't even watched an entire movie(s) yet.

Thor, if you took one of the 1/144 VF-11 models and used it, would the arm be able to make a 1/72 version?

I'm just putting the finishing touches on my Tigermeet VF-4 (Valkyrie's), and started a low-vis YF-19. I've got a few SMT resin kits on the go, but I take forever to do them because of the level of detail I put in (not always accurate). I've also been kitbashing TIE fighter designs off and on, but have none seriously started right now. The VF-0 I got a while back is driving me nuts looking for a different paint scheme. Anyone got any ideas?

Hi guys. It's not owrth starting a new thread over, but does anyone know where to find pics or info (dimensions) on the high maneouverability missiles. I remember a site a while back, but don't know what it was called.

Thanks, Graham. That's exactly what I wanted.

Does anyone have any pics of the hardpoints on the YF-19 (I'd like to do a VF-19, but don't want to convert the Hasegawa kit). And are there any kits of the High maneouverability missiles?
