Very excited and ready to order! This will complete my collection of (3) F-203 resin kit variants in 1/72 scale, unfortunately I haven't been able to get the 1/144 kit yet. But the other two are in storage, so I'm looking forward to seeing this one built.

@sh9000Thanks for finally posting, I was worried whether you saw my messages. Most likely your kits were in storage, so I appreciate you getting them out and taking a picture, amazing collection I'm envious! Do you have other Macross plastic/resin kits besides these? @BoltNice find, I'm pretty sure it's listed as 1/72 in my Macross Complete Model List, because it's slightly larger than 1/100. @PhotogirlGreat addition to your collection! @Grayson72I'm glad to see you posting here and sincerely hope you're doing well. My Macross kit collection/pending stash, (16) shelves full front to back, plus the large top shelf which has room for future releases. Each shelf is 2' by 20" and was custom made so the original 1/55 valkyries can fit perfectly. Lots of rare resin kits I hope to post videos of each shelf showing what's contained within. I really love looking at the box art, some amazing artists! When I'm feeling depressed or anxious I'll just grab a box or two and admire the details.

Amazing find, would love to have one, wish it was released!

Some new arrivals:

These will be used to make the custom decal versions of the Bandai 1/72 VF-25S & VF-25F with a sample of each: Samples:

Congrats @Convectuoso really nice kits, and I know you need them to replace what we've been discussing. I hope you can find someone reliable and trustworthy to build them for you, and I hope to be able to mail your SHE VF-11 with Fast Packs soon. These are all the left over boxes from my Bandai 1/72 valkyries that were built:

Really impressive kit and build, great job to both of you!

I love the paint scheme, grats on owning such a rare WF resin kit! Would love to see more of your Macross model kit collection.

Really nice collection! @007-vf1 Is that the Studio Half Eye VF-5000B? Experten made one in 1/100, and there's the 1/60 3D printed one as well. I love your super rare Yellow Submarine 1/700 scale Valhalla III VC-551. Awesome figure, the green is perfect. @Convectuoso

Nicely done, I love the weathering! 😍 Makes me want to revisit my 3D printed kit and add more details: I also have the Wonder Festival Kit, here's a sample picture:

I'm excited to see how your project turns out, and the articulation you added is awesome!

I recently completed some resin 1/55 Strike armor parts I consider to be models, because they required sanding, putty, paint, decals, custom verniers, and clear coat. I would also like to share some new arrivals mostly from Hobby Link Japan.

@Delta-One-One Very nice collection, I especially like your Hasegawa 1/72 VF-0B. Yes, you did a good job painting your Minmay figure. @Convectuoso Perfect weathering, paint and details, awesome additions to your collection! I would love to have a VF-11MAXL in my collection, I'm jealous. Thanks to both for your posts, and hope to see more Macross kits from other collectors! Here is my recently completed Experten 1/100 VF-14 Vampire Milia Perfect Transformation. Extremely rare, maybe (10) or less made and only released at Wonder Festival. I also had the Max version of this kit, but a good friend wanted it. This is the only known built and painted kit.

I hope everyone is doing well, let's see more completed and boxed collections! Please share any built Macross kits you have, in progress or your pending stash. My custom display cabinets were recently completed, and I'll be adding the glass shelves soon. On the other side is a custom built cabinet to show off my collection of Macross plastic/resin kits, which are being built as quickly as possible. I'm sorry for not posting any updates for a while, but would like to share the following pictures and information: ARII 1/100 DRYL HEWAT (HEavy WeApons Type) SERIES: https://macrossworld.com/macross/models/arii/arii_hewat.htm (These could possibly be the very first transformable plastic kits released. Did some Google searches and nothing came up as to which kit wins that award. I know there is the Zeta Gundam which has (3) modes, but not sure of the variable version 1st release date.) These kits along with the Arii Silver Box Set are the basis for the Bandai 1/100 variable kits. Set of 10 (M1 - M10) quite rare and took me a long time to complete the set since they're almost 40 years old. Finding boxes in good condition and with complete unopened packages, with the Max versions being the hardest. M1 - M4: (3) mode variable M5 - M8: (2) mode variable (Valkyrie & Gerwalk) M9 & M10: Battroid mode Really lovely box art, my favorites being the (3) Max. Which ones do you like?

Greetings Dax, just an update to let you know Tom received the kit and hopes to start on it soon, but definitely before the end of the year. Thanks!

Nice VF-1S design, there are some really interesting figures at the link you provided.

Definitely not hideous, I think both battroids look pretty cool. Nice job on the custom, and I really like the low visibility paint scheme!

Looks amazing, love all the details, weathering and especially the missiles!

Hello, I've completed the Macross Complete Model List (MCML) Project with more than 1,600 entries, of which each entry has 10 categories if we've attached pictures. It includes all obscure plastic, resin, vinyl kits and I first started working on it in 2004. Unfortunately, I haven't found someone to host it or incorporate the information to their website. I personally own more than 400 Macross items and might have the largest known Macross resin kit collection. There's a few other MW members that also have impressive collections. I only focused on Macross, but have access to my friend's Mospeada resin kit collection list and pictures. Please free feel to message me if you have any questions. Sincerely, Christopher

Really nice build! Thanks for sharing.

Greetings, I hope all are doing well. I really like these kits, and hope we'll see different valkyries in the future. Here's my collection so far, plan to have them built soon:

@MechTechThank you very much, and I appreciate the link. Yes, please post all built and unbuilt Macross kits here, and some in-progress pictures are also welcome. But definitely feel free to create a dedicated workbench thread if you want to be thorough. Does anyone else really admire/love Macross box art? If so, what do you prefer (Hasegawa/Bandai/Arii/Imai/Etc)? Please include a picture one of your favorite Macross kits in your collection. When I was young and didn't have much money, I would spend hours in the local hobby shop just checking out the model kits and using my imagination to picture them in real life/built. I figure it helps educate people about some Macross kits they might not know about and at the very least showcase some cool art. For this post, I want to feature box art variations for Bandai variable 1/72 and 1/100 original release versus later versions. If there's any that I missed for Bandai variable kits please let me know. For the most part the original 1/72 & 1/100 versions list the illustrator in English, while later versions don't. With the exception of Bandai 1/72 Millia (Masayuki Hasegawa) & Bandai 1/72 VF-1D (Ryukoh Masuo).

@BoltThank you very much, I'm glad you like the VE-1! Great looking VF-17T, Wave and Hasegawa kits. Imai & Bandai 1/72 Variable Valkyrie Comparison Pictures: Both use the same valkyrie artwork, but the Bandai boxes are more compact. Imai shows (4) modes of transformation, the nose cone and wings have a separate presentation along with the metal parts, etc. Took a long time to track these down in like new condition, especially the Imai which are approaching 40 years old. Imai numbering system is quite strange, 39 - 59 - 61 - 75 - 77 - 95. I'll gladly give a free Macross kit (plastic/resin) to anyone that's willing to write the complete the list of Imai releases 1 - 100 or whatever it is.

@Convectuoso: The Wave kits look great, and I love your VF-17T. I've seen the completed pictures (perfect green), awesome addition to your collection! @Hexi: I really like your Hasegawa builds, you did a good job as well on the other kits. Thank you for sharing! Impressive what you accomplished with spray paint. The blue you used for the VF-0D is perfect. @jvmacross: Amazing that the SDF-1 kit sold for that much especially considering it's condition, I don't have one yet and didn't know they're that rare. Thanks for the information. Some of my recently completed projects, and (3) of the previously posted Club M kits arrived partially disassembled. I painstakingly put them back together, there was even some bent white metal parts, etc. The Covid-19 lockdowns caused a lot of shipping delays so they got stuck in a hot warehouse for a few months, which is really bad for kits especially resin which are very heavy. Club M 1/72 kits along with a Green Roses camouflage VE-1 inspired by the "VF Riders" modelling group's digital camouflage version from many years ago, plus a Max VF-1A:

Really exciting project, I'll be ordering one. Thanks Captain and the person who commissioned it.
