Nice.  I sort of want one of these now......shipping was probably huge dollars?

 

Shipping was free. Model was expensive - 357$

I've got mine last week from ebay. Shipping time was no longer than two weeks. It's huuuge!

HLJ got back to me last night.  They gave me these three much more reasonable offers. 

EMS: Y7,620
FedEx: Y12,223
DHL: 13,177

They asked which one I wanted to go with, and they will be processing the shipment tomorrow. 

Do you ordered Valkyrie to private warehouse or just waited?

To Germany and Slovakia they have normal EMS shiping option but to Poland still FedEX and DHL. Strange...

Thanks again.  I submitted a request for an EMS quote over the weekend.  Looking forward to hearing back, so I can get started on this thing ASAP!

They wrote me an email with info that only possible ways of shipping it to Poland are FedEX and DHL. Or private warhouse and waiting till EMS will be possible...Damn...

The normal fighter kit is in at HLJ!

But damn... the cheapest shipping option is $139 for standard airmail, and that takes 2-6 weeks to get to the US.

Lucky you, for shipping to Poland I would have to pay twice the model...no kidding

What happened to this Valkyrie? Burned up a little during atmospheric deceleration or was operating over Ruhra?

As much as I love weathered models , it should be weathered with a little common sense...

I'm still waiting for them to pick up the ball and make a 1/48 YF-21 to match the YF-19.  

 

Indeed. Actually I'm comparing YF-21 to real life YF-23 to see what can be done to model YF-21 out of this. And there is a 1/48 YF-23 :D

Dear sweet mother of all mecha...This is just wrong...I can't stand it. Model for 340$! Unpainted! No...please no...

Does anyine has it? The one from mine was lost on a model show.

Little update...First round of PSR is almost finished. Hole for head is prepared and head itself is ready for mounting.

Hello!

I'm just before my wedding but also it's about time to make an update

There are two PE panels for cockpit. Seat is from Monogram F-105 and front panel from Su-22





Converted engine section:


Thrust-vectoring elements from SV-51 with additional exhaust PE parts:



Fuselage as it is now:


Wings cut to shape:

Hello,

Few weeks ago I saw very nice photo of polish attack airplane - Su-22.

Look closely...she has similar movable wing parts to VF-0 Phoenix. Which lead me to idea...how would look polish veritech fighter?

I don't know if there is any veritech fighter with one engine. I don't think so. I will modify Su-22 to make it two-engined looking

I bought this set:

I'm going to use a lot of spare and kitbashed parts. I hope I'll be able to show you Macross face of Su-22

Wish me luck

Thanks guys

Your pilot by the BBQ has a drinking problem - too big a bottle . Nice diorama and it looks great! - MT

Pilot is 1/48 and bottle is 1/35. I had no other option

Thanks for all comments

Nice VF1. I'm toying with doing something similar with a build I am doing now of a VF1. Its a pity there isnt anything in 1/48 ground crew and vehicles for these.

I have Hasegawa carrier crew on the bench. I'll use them.

Super nice! Where's the pilot figure? The kit includes one.

I tried to convert him from sitting in cockpit to standing near Valkyrie but no success.

How does this comapre to the yamato 1/48 design wise? Better? Worse?

I have no idea. I don't have any Yamato Valkyrie.

And second one in 1/48 - YF-19 by Hasegawa This is one of my older models. There is no any PE set. Model was build OOB. Two watching pilots are from Academy Sabre kit. Umbrella and bbq were scratchbuild. Hope you'll like it

Hello!

Finished recently VF-1 Valkyrie from in 1/48 by Hasegawa.
Additional two sets of PE parts from Hasegawa and Jasmine Models. Carrier deck from Steel Scorpion and resin carrier tractor from PWMP. Carrier crew also from Hasegawa is on workbench.










Hope you'll like it

Hello!

My name is Artur, I'm from Poland. I'm a modeller. I've found my way to Macross few years ago with watching Macross Zero. That was only beggining...Then came first Macross series, then DYRL, Plus, Frontier series along with movies and now Delta. There was also Marcoss II somewhere...I just love Macross fighters and I can't wait for new 1/48 Hasegawa releases. Greetings!
