Hi guys, I know I had a group buy already posted, but I have been approached by a fellow MW member on the chance of making a detailed 1/48 scale YF-19, YF-21 and YF-22 kits. Here are some of what detail: - reworked bodies to be even for all pieces (originals are off!) - reworked fitting so no gaps or holes or thin areas - body will be hollowed cast to keep material usage down, keep weight down for shipping and to keep cost down. - clear resin canopies to be cast for all - cockpit will be detailed up ala 1/48 Ultimate VF-1 - bodies will be detailed up with new panel lines and details ala Hasagawa levels of details at minimum - pilots to be sculpted - high cast resin will be used in pressurized casting process - white metal landing gears all around - detailed water slide decals to be provided - white box for mailing options based on demand and pricing (note all of this will affect the production) - Photoetch to be made for more details OR even better, the masters will be photo etched detailed for certain parts prior to casting. This Photo etch will be newly made. - removable and openable panels ala 1/48 Ultimate VF-1 include engine compartment details and whatever official line art we have. All new sculpting. - VF-22S option to be sculpted - canopy and revised underside for the YF-21 kit. If someone has these 2 pieces to lend, I can include it in the YF-21 kit so you can build either version. Design and engineering is underway right now. Once the sculptor has the design finalized, sculpting will begin on the masters and ETA at BEST is June. I\'m guessing July for the first one, and August for the 2nd one. We need about 20 people to show interest in order to get the kits, or we need 20 of each kits sold, this way people will not have to buy the set, they can buy one if they like. So I will be starting a list of people who are "interested" in getting the kits made, and then once we get into production, then we will transfere the list into a "buying" list. Thanks Bob

lol...didn't know, thanks for the update....lol

make mine 2 also, not 1. thanks, this kit is turning out better than I could imagine.

capt. I don't want one of each can you just make them both standing. Also when will the add on weapons to the regualt be made?

Hey guys, I need to know who sell some universal polycap joints? I need them to finish a few of my 1/100 scale mechs

Just an update, I am still working out the final price and discount and the amount of people needed for henry to make this happen, I am also trying to see if he can get the canopy for the VF-22 in 1/48 scale.

yeah one of them is on ebay, also the VA-3 the sale is still pending.

Vice, I was trying to upload the pic's on the original site, but it wouldn't llet me, so I just started a new one and it let me.

Hello all, I fianlly got the two 1/48 scale kits, they are not to bad in quality, I have taken some detailed pictures of the kit. If there are more people interested, I wouldn't mind starting another group buy. My digital camera is shot, so the pic's are not to good.

Well capt. If you cannot get enough orders, I might want to get two kits, but only if you don't have enough orders

post some pictures, I have not gotten mine yet.

i want one set, any discounts on two sets?

yeah got mine and sent the money via paypal, can't wait to see what the kits look like.

Chris, Thank you for taking the time out to reply, I was bidding one last year and the final price was over 250.00. So if you can get one for 150.00, that is a steal, I think I will also bid, wouldn't hurt to have an extra. Thank you for the link, I wounder if there were anyother paint styles on the VA-3. Now was the VA-3 made the same time as the VF-1? I am kinda lost on this one and when it came into service.

Anyone have a pictures of this kit made? Also how much are these bad boys going for? I have one I am thinking of selling it or building it.

I think capt, we should try one more group buy thread and see if we can get at least 20 orders, this way if it we cannot then it we cannot and the end to this quest for the LV.

Capt, I know I bug you about stuff here and there, but I must thank you for giving us the kits that you have already made. I know that a lot of people on the MW forum thank you for that. I think you told me that the launch vehicle cost would be around 500.00 USD? I hope I am close to the number, if there is enough interest and say the deposit was high enough to weed out the people that didn't want to buy, like lets say 200.00 so show you that there are a few people serious enough, would you still do it, on your own time frame, so that the few who want a complete set can have one. How many people would you need to make a limited run? I have always signed up and bought kits from you no matter what, and I can't wait to see whatelse you bring us.

Talked to Henry about the kits update, this is what he has to say: "Hello Robert. The 1/48 VF-1 Strike is on the Cargo ship right now. It is est. to come into port maybe next week, and it will take about one more week to clear customs. I am look around Christmas or maybe just after Christmas when the item should arrive. thank you Henry" So just a heads up guys.

Had to do it, for those of you on the forum that are gifted in making kits, I hope this polls helps to guage interest in a future kit.

I bought an original kit for about 150.00 USD, but since the Robotech MPC Tread is comming out soon and the alpha's are already in the store, I don't know how much demand will be. But if you do find someone to recast it and the price was not to crazy, I am sure you will have a lot of people buying it.

do they have a picture of the thunder hammer armor?

EXO, no problem bro, we are all one big happy family on this forum, who knows maybe we both can help guage interest on some 1/48 scale conversions, like the following: 1. VEF-1R 2. VE-1 3. VT-1 I figure since the capt was nice enough to offer the VF-1D conversion, than maybe those who have bought more than one kit might be interested in some type of conversion to make the the kits. I looked at the 1/72 Catseye radome, and it looks like it could be made to scale on the 1/48 kit fo rthe VEF-1R or VE-1. I remeber seeing a SOG group armor for a hase 1/72 kit, who knows maybe we could get it made as a add on for the 1/48, anyone have a picture of it? I figure if enough people show interest, someone might one to make a kit.

what I am saying is that, if a kit was made, I would pay for the kit, I thank the people on this forum who have the talent to give us these kits and would pay them for their work. I am sure there are a few people who would back me on this.
