You are correct!!!!!

That box art is just amazing

Same size of the regular 1/48 vf-1 por f-14

Fighter mode looks wrong too. The nose looks really bad, short and round. To me the wings are a little short, etc etc

The legs are wrong.

That will be AMAZING!!!!!!, a VF-11B in 1/48 will be great too

I agree with Cool8tor, next move for Hasegawa need to be VF-4, for sure they will release a couple of more VF-25 (diferent versions), but next new mold need to be VF-4 (every one want at least 2 lol) I hope they release a TV version of the VF-1 Super in 1/48 (Max blue will be great)

yep! great improvment. also look at step #22, two big improvements there too, the front part of the missile launchers and the small detail at the side, no need of a mask anymore!!!

wow the decal sheet is really big!! all 4 schemas complete!!! plus some "aditional" decals!! Its great that Hasegawa improve their decals since 2009/2010!!!

same for me!!!

You are correct!!!

Yeah, Black Aces box art is really nice!!!. But I like more the new one, colors are move vivid!!! The orange planet (Mars or maybe Jupiter I believe) looks amazing as background!!

For me, just my opinion, the best Hidetaka Tenjin boxarts so far are: #1 1/48 Strike/Super VF-1 (the new one) #2 1/72 VF-1B (Just amazing) #3 1/48 VF-1 J/A #4 1/48 VF-19 #5 1/72 VF-1 Strike (first version)

WOW that is a really nice box art!!! The best ever in IMHO. If I can find that picture in HD, will be my wallpaper forever!!

I'm just happy

Looks great

Need some pics!!!!

I'm in for one too

Whites are ok

Yeah, a lot better!!

About Hasegawa decals, they improve a lot since 2009, the decals still are somewhat thick, but improve the white (the white is white now) and reduce the transparency a lot. The Vf-19 in 1/48 has a great decal sheet, and the new VF-1 in 1/48 too. The Vf-11 and VF-25 decal sheet are the same, at least looks the same to me. Bandai decals are terrible, Tamiya decals for example its the same as hasegawa. The best decals came from Cartograft,Microscale and Aztec, most of the 3 party manufactures use them as a supplier (fightertown decals, afterburner, etc) but is very hard to find great decals for science fiction subjects. IMHO you can't find better Macross decals than Hasegawa's, there are some garage decals, those are good to replace Bandai ones but not Hasegawa's, http://old.samueldecal.com/ is an example, I use them in two kits, great service from Sam, but the decals need to be treated with care.

Nop at the moment. I receive mine yesterday, all color are in Japanese, but the paint numbers are there so no big problem. If a remember well, the Vf-1J in 1/48 came only in Japanese too, need to check!! Looking at the instructions, Hasegawa didn't ask to tint the canopy clear purple, it is correct to paint the canopy, or is more "realistic" just clear? Thanks

mine too!!! hope it will arrive soon

Hey where is these post, can't find it anywhere. Thanks

maybe you can find one of those in ebay
