ANA, thanks for the update, don't worry your info was helpful, thanks once again

Oh, hell no, now I know there is a god!, I cannot wait till this comes out any idea?

Now only if we could find the dark sith lord that shut us down...lol

Hello everyone, I am glad to see that macrossworld is back.

I am selling two of my alpha beta kits, I just realized that I have way to many of them, hope someone buys them.

Thanks. I am selling 2 of my alpha beta kits on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...AMESE%3AIT&rd=1

try the model section on this forum: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=15218

alphaHX, you already have me down for 1 kit, why don't you make it 2 so this way we have the 25 kits needed and get the ball rolling .... lol

Do you really think they will come out with a Beta aka Tread? Here is a picture of the model kit I have of a Tread http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/truf...me/DSC04618.jpg

I have all four alpha's and let me tell you, the quality sucks. My shadow alpha, the nose section fell off the body, the parts that hold the metal pin are not glued right, the paint was chipped, and the body panels break off easy. Toynami needs to really check their quality control.

the shadow I bought from the valk exchange just came in, the nose section just came a part and fell off the body, check the problem, two parts where not joined together, and then the head section that has the eye, the paint was chipped, all my alpha's are below standard, chipped paint and body panels just falling off, why couldn't yamato make these. Toynami quality sucks. The only cool things is that Kevin from Valk exchange is a real awesome person, very down to earth, and has great products, but the MPC alpha's, well there is no quality behind them, very cheap.

I said I wanted one, but count me in for 2 kits if that helps out.

Lets see if we can get at least 10 people or 15 at the most. Valk, when you have the time, please stop by and ask them what the discount break would be for 10-15 people or at least the 6 people so far. Valk, I thank you once more for taking the time out to help your fellow macross buddies...lol Please at your earliest, update us.

common guys, here is the list 1. Jorawar_b 2. THOR 3. totallyrobot 4. godane79 5. yman1437 6. godane79 7. Logan Valk how do we order this? maybe we can get a group buy by middle of july, this way we can give people time to get the funds together?

Valk, Thanks for taking the time out to research this, come on guys, lets get the list going. Valk can you post this info on the other thread also so we can get the ball moving. thanks once again Valk

I still have it, I was actually thinking of another color set up, this way I have all three color's and one low viz. I ran into some low viz decals from a 1/72 model kit.

Here are the decals for the kit, hope this is useful for others 1. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/truf...treaddecals.jpg

Here are some pictures of my Tread in low viz color's, I am not done yet 1. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/truf...me/DSC01575.jpg 2. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/truf...me/DSC01574.jpg 3. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/truf...me/DSC01573.jpg 4. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/truf...me/DSC01572.jpg

count me in for one

Guys, I can get access to the original decal kit, or a scanned copy of it, is there anyone on this forum who can make the decals?

Carl, Its been a while since I talked to you, last time you showed me one of these kits on ebay japan, I was trying to get a hold of you when I bought this 1/72 kit, but I lost your e-mail. By the way everyone, carl is one of the coolest people on this forum. Anyways, I was so happy that I bought this kit, I felt like I was a little kid again, I just wanted to thank you Carl for taking the time out to help me try to get a TREAD. The AJAC was a variable copter from the southern cross series.

I bought this tamiya paint, it is the perfect light blue, the paint I used on the kit was a testors, so it has a little gloss on it, but the tamiya is so perfect and flat, I used it on my alpha/beta kit and it came out perfect. The Tamiya paint has always been perfect for me, the other reason is that I can apply a single coat and still get more detail. Chas, you have made me see that this kit can be a lot better so for that I thank you so much, I am begining to see what you mean about the panel's and lines, I want to do it over again and then bring it back to you, this time with closer pic's I will add a picture of the Tread in fighter mode later tonight. Thanks a lot to everyone who has responded so far.

I have a Alpha/Beta kit for sale on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...5980872605&rd=1 I have a total of 4 1/72 alpha/beta kits, this is the one I don't need. The Tread was very hard to find and it thank the person who sold it to me, this is my favorite mecha. I am going to strip it tonight and re paint it, I bought a set of tamiya paints.

Thanks for the input guys, I have always wanted to master the weathering look, I will try to get some close ups, what is paneling? I tried to figure out what would patterns would look good in what mode, but at some point I got confused. I am still at the point were I can strip the paint and start all over again, can you guys post some pictures of paneling, thanks for the help. The Tread is my favorite mecha, next to the AJAC.

Hey guy I finally built my 1/72 Tread, I tried some of the weathering look, I don't know if its the right way, please be easy on me, this is my first time. 1. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/truf...me/DSC04620.jpg 2. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/truf...me/DSC04619.jpg 3. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/truf...me/DSC04618.jpg 4. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/truf...me/DSC04616.jpg 5. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/truf...me/DSC04615.jpg
