    Hi-Metal R

    Considering how many have just arrived, and more to come, and the defects or sloppy ness, it sounds like a production rush was happening. This is just our neck of the woods , let alone in Japan..

    It’s a call back to an 80’s garage kit Kawamori did the artwork for.. Courtesy of @Tochiro http://www.decultureshock.com/the-vf-4-and-the-curious-case-of-the-sdf-018/
  6. Very interesting. Thanks for that bit!
  7. One more thing that came to mind , concerning the Mauler RÖ-2A Twin abeam Cannon Pack.. ”The loadable gas capacity for the laser is limited to 8 times, and after exhausting the shots, the Valkyrie has no choice but to distance itself from the battlefield. Also, because the RÖ-2A cannot be aimed precisely, it cannot also be used for anti-aircraft uses.” I can recall once where Roy Fokker was using the Mauler in an anti aircraft capacity to give the beat down on the nousjadeul-ger that were in the process of capturing Hikaru, Minmay, etc. in the rings of Saturn. In fact it’s the first shot we see him take ( “hey Hikaru, making trouble again?”) and again he fires it several more times, effectively, during that scene. (He’s also firing his gun pod , as well) This must attest to his skill as he was maneuvering his VF-1S quickly and precisely enough to pull this off.
  8. From waaaay over here on the west coast, it seems like the YF-21 design isn’t so popular in the land of the rising sun..wah.
  9. That is quite beautiful.
  10. This would be awesome to attend!
  11. Haha ..ya. One of mine ended up on the auction block..1/48 VF-1A/D conversion from many years back..
  12. Isn’t that 1/60 ish? In reference to Frontier & Delta you mentioned..
  13. Why not? Yamato did it. And we know Bandai is too big to fail..
  14. Ok... I see a VF-x-4!with the date of 4/20/2012 and a few other VF/ dates. But I really have no idea what anything says..
  15. Lucky 13 , fish night& good hunting were among my fav’s
  16. Now I need to look this up.. Oh right, I remember now , from Frontier! From a certain perspective. You’re gonna make us all late to the tea party going that far down rabbit hole(*~*)
  17. Please illuminate me..:( I read the asterisk notes and still didn’t get it..apparently.
  18. “The development commencement time for this pack is considered to be around the first half -year of 2012, and if that is true, than the one that the Captain tested is very likely to have been a prototype model Close to a mock-up that cannot fire live rounds.” Intersting.. ”Incidentally , although it generally came to be known for appearing in the *movie that depicted the SDF-1 Macross’s first sortie, that one was naturally for the production, as even a development program did not exist for it at the time.” They’re messing with my head!
