I'm thinking about buying my first 1/48. I'm quite sure I wanna start with the vf-1s, but I can't choose whether I should get the hikaru or the roy one. I prefer the roy character but I think the red one(hikaru) is nicer looking..I think. Does anyone have a suggestion? The history of the two is also important. It was quite a long time ago I watched the series but as I remember roy died and hikaru got the vf-1s and a new paint job. Are there more things I should consider. I'm really suffering(partially kidding..) here cus I can't order one until I know which one to get and I can't afford buying them both. Grateful for any help. Best Regards James
