Good times. Bring on the Super...

They really are nice kits. If Hasegawa did Gerwalks in either 72 or 48, or Battroids in 48, I'd stick with them. But the Wave 1/100 get my vote (cost aside). Now, where's the GPB-1?

Do wish they'd packaged it as Super/Strike, not just the strike, but that's just me.

That art looks great! Any pics of the extra sprues?

Just need the other common missiles too.

When will the 1/48 Battroid appear??

Bump

Bruising??? How do you get bruising? I get a bit sore on my 12.5in 870 and 3in magnum slugs, but never bruising.

50 rounds of SG, rapid fire, from the shoulder. The old polo shirt really didn't cut it. First time I've been bruised. The solid plastic butt plate with no armour was not cool @ all.

Removed the original buttstock from my Mossberg 590 and added a Mesa Tactical adapter with Magpul collapsible stock and pistol

Looks good - do you shoot wearing armour? I was shooting a work 870 with the Magpul collapsible stock last month without armour on. Not much in the way of padding resulted in serious bruising...

Thanks Sketchley - I like the way it's portrayed in the Master File better, but thanks for adding context.

It could work for a conversion of the new 1/48 Hasegawa Super/Strike kit...

Thanks guys. I'm looking forward to the update to the database.

My bad though, I actually meant the GU-11D that is shown on page 099 in the Variable Fighter Master File: VF-1 Valkyrie part 2.

Thanks again,

Greg

I'm looking for pics of the GU-11 gun-pod for the VF-1X/P. Google was infriendly.

Thanks - that's cool. Don't recall seeing it before.

Um, what's a spider bug?

Just re watched the whole series - does anyone have the title of the track that's played near the end of episode 26 when the Yamato has returned to earth? Is it on any of the sound track CDs?

I've always wanted a kit of the Minerva to butcher. I'd like to smooth off the 'hump' use it as a vacform pattern & tweak the Minerva into a single seat fighter. Sacrelidge, I know.

Just saw this. Stayed away as I'm no fan of Clooney nor Bullock. I seriously regret not seeing this on the big screen! Amazing show. Will be buying this on BD.

Whoa - mine turned up today. Only grabbed the one, but it looks lovely!

Not sure whether to build it as a Super or modify to build a Gerwalk. Either way it'll be a CF.

Nice, succinct review Dan. Can't wait to receive mine!

Any word on when the Wave 1/100 Strike/Super kits are due out?

Thanks.

To me, next 1/48 Hase logical move is a missile set, and I hope with a couple TV version pilots.

And I don't see many chances to see some battroids from Hasewaga, sincerely.

If Hase packaged their TV pilot, seat & cockpit from the VF-1J/A kit with missiles I'd be very happy.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I hope you're wrong about the battroid prediction!

Mine's shipping. Instructions are up on HobbySearch

Here's the Black Aces:

Thanks Dan - I hope you're well.

Greg

Any tips where I could find both the Black Aces & this one in hi-res?

Great - thanks. A great help, as always.

Sticking with differences between SDFM & DRYL Valks - are the super pack differences limited to the fore-arm armour?
