  1. Post a picture. it might just be residue. If you want to clean it well use a clothe dampened with warm water and dish soap. Not need to rub it in. The warm water and soap should lift off the grey.
  2. Looking forward to all your pics and findings.
  3. Have to keep checking that everything fits nice and proper before finalizing parts and beginning the primer phase.
  4. Looking back at my previous work. This 1/55 has come a long way and much more to come.
  5. So much can be had in such small spaces. Gotta keep going.
  6. Thank you. I have a stash of K&S goods and the thought was to build this with metal. The innards have metal embedded for strength. I wanted to use this method to allow the paint to really grab onto something since there will be some movement. Also it gives a robust landing gear that fits well with this build.
  7. Landing gear. Not yet set but making sure everything will work together and hold once set no matter the armor configuration.
  8. The VT-1 and VE-1 both have such allure for collectors. Even though a DX is available, buyers are stilling willing to pay top dollar for a nice 1/55. I don’t think I will ever sell mine. Too much wrapped in nostalgia to even consider it.
  9. What a splendid Christmas gift. This actually a thing where the straight head lasers are on the Takatoku stamp VF. Can you take a picture of the box? Happy New Year!
  10. Non-splitting engine exhaust looks so much better.
  11. Had to take another look at some the fine work. Excellent.
  12. Took a bit of a break away from my 1/55 custom. In the last couple of days feet and thrusters were created with extensive detailing. This sure is a fun project.
  13. It’s funny that I have seen this video months before and never made a connection. I was actually looking for something else. 😅
  14. Thanks for clarifying it as a bootleg. Just wasn’t sure. But as you can see here, quite a few varieties were released. I just found it strange that it was labeled Takatoku.
  15. Aside from the 1/320 4-Type model kits, did Takatoku release other kits besides this?
  16. Too funny.
  17. This came up on my FB feed. I don’t know much about it, but thought I would share due to its strange blue plastic. I do believe it did come out of Taiwan.
  18. I’m sure most every self respected Macross model kit collector has this. Or do they? Not mine, so I’m not respectable.
  19. Another 1/100 bootleg in white with yellow/black markings. This time in 1J. There are also 1S and 1A (Henkei-esque) in this color combo.
