I want a 1:48 YF-21 personally. 

That will be a logical choice and a VF-11 to complete de M+ lineup.

... and for the 1:48-scale lovers, the Max/Milia's VF-1J re-issue should be re-issued on February 7th.

 

 

We 1/48  lovers need/want more new model kits, not re-issues

The art work alone on all these kits make them worth having..

I don't know. I really don't like those oversaturated artwork in a fighter plane/robot. Give more new molds (vf-17S), more 1/48 kits (vf-21, vf-11) to complete M+ for example. 

No more Delta stuff please!!!!

I was kind of hoping for a 1/48 VF-1D. 

same here!! or  a 1/48 YF-21

I had the same "problem"  a few years ago. I use a light green over black base trying the look of the first picture tekering post

I don't the super/ strike Valkyries with the landing gear down. I like them how they look in flight. But I can't find any good stand. Any idea?

Thanks

NO 1/48

yeah i remember those vcr's ..

also my first model kit was a F-14A Tomcat and i painted it as Roys VF-1S

Same here. Testor 1/72 Tomcat (top gun version) 1988!!!

Macross II, one of the best opening songs. The rest can be forgotten. Macross 7 is worse BTW ...

Great work guys! And I am especially loving the 1/48 VF-1s.

I can tell you what isn't on my workbench any more...this VF-0B! Finally finished two years after I started it. Rubbish pictures but better ones will have to wait until after I move cities.

So glad it is finished so that I can move onto the next shelf queen!

Cheers,

Brett

Wow!! really nice! Beautiful VF-0B!  Love the box art of that kit. Of of the best of all in IMHO

Miria's VF-1J last update, I swear!! 

All clear parts are in place, no big difference but I called done!!!

All 3 done, next one MAX (Super) and the last one will be Kakizaki

Wow, really nice!!

Nice!!!

joscasle, that's a perfect looking valk! I'm lovin' it! What'd that take? Say about 40 hours or so?

I just can't get around to finishing mine. I'm inspired by how good yours looks but I'm also discouraged because I know mine won't turn out as good as yours.

Thanks, yeah 40 hours approx. These is a little more challenging that de VF-1S because there is no decals, but you always can paint most of the principal markings.

The 1/48 VF-1 is far superior than the 1/72. I think is one of the best cience fiction model kits arround, including Bandai's star wars kits (I have a ton)

That is gorgeous!!! Great job! 

Thanks!!!

Miria's VF-1J un 1/48 almost done. Just clear parts needs to be attached.

Miria looks great! By the way ...any answer to arbit's question other than Max, would have been totally unacceptable! 

Thanks!!! Max will be the Super Valkyrie and the last one will be Kakisaki,s VF-1A!!

joscasle, Looking sharp. Very nice finish. And you pulled off the Miria red very nicely. 

What's your next step?

Thanks Arbit!! Next  step is applied all the stencils, then panel lining and detail the landing gear and very important the clear parts, some minor watering and that's all. After these one I will do Max's Super VF-1J

The Viggen and VF-1J are looking great too guys! - MT

Thanks MechTech!!

A few more pics with principal decals applied and a few stencils. I use decals from the SUPER Max/Miria kit and the NO STEP stencils from a Tomcat decal sheet, same color of the grey stencils that came with the Super, so I take that liberty.
