Will this be a regular release? Will it be available on Amazon Japan?

This is great news. I've been wanting this one for a long time.

The 'Hey look at this really cool model build I saw' post

How do you get a canopy to that level of shine? Wow, after checking out the photos more, I'm realizing how nice that build is. -

Only $3,750! What a bargain! Seriously though, it's a really nice build. I wouldn't pay that but I guess factoring in the time it would take to build that, it comes out to maybe 30 to 40 dollars an hour? That's definitely not a quick, 10-hour build. You'll never get rich building model kits for resale. -
There's a lot of good stuff going on around here! @derex3592 Your Runabout is looking awesome! Those figures you painted came out nice. I suck at hand brushing so I'm super impressed. @electric indigo The Mig has a very smooth paint job and the decals look painted on. I want to get to that level of skill! What's next for you? @peter Great job with the extra weathering. It made a huge difference and now I'm wondering if I should pick up a set. As far as getting into airbrushing, I'd say it's a steep learning curve but absolutely necessary if you want to get to that next level. Currently working on an R2. Getting rid of the nasty seams on the dome. I've got about 4 or 5 other projects going as well but it's hard to stay focused on one.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Very, very tough seams on that Battriod kit. The legs and chest are brutal. I'm working on one right now as well. -
I'm not sure I agree about the Hasegawa spares on these. The styles clash. The old kit has the straight from the line art look while the Hasegawa is trying to look like real aircraft. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix the nose on these old 1/72 kits? They're in need of some serious rhinoplasty!

@Hexi thank you for taking the time to post your collection. I enjoyed looking at all of your completed builds. I can't wait to see all the other stuff you're gonna build. Please post when you do.
-
She looks great! All the hard work pays off on the end. Love the paint job. What colors did you use? About the canopy. It's all a learning experience. Focus on the positive aspects of your build.
-
Really cool Macross logo on the bottom right. That'd be great to put on a stand.
-
Somebody lucked out and got a 1S Roy for 20k on Mandarake. I wonder what was wrong with it. I'd buy one for that price even with a beat up box. They paid maybe $250 after shipping?
-
Not much to report. I have various builds on the bench. A 1S Gerwalk, f14 tomcat, fighter valk 1A Max, sandrock, and a Legioss fighter.
-
Mechtech, I'm astounded by your level of technical ability. You always scratchbuild the coolest stuff! Great work, as always. Loved the pun! When I read it, my face lit up.
-
Thanks, mechtech! I'll check out the biography. I'm a big fan of Miyazaki. You guys got me looking at all my paint. I went through and found only a couple of jars out of over a hundred went bad. Some of them are really old! Like from the 90's.
-
Wow, lots of cool stuff going on here. Thank you for the tips on the compressors mechtech! I currently have a 1/72 Legioss in the works.
-
Wow, @TMBounty_Hunter are you a data scientist? That graph looks like it was made in R studio. I guess it's proved now, Hasegawa does nothing but repop kits! Awesome work!
-
4200 yen for that tiny kit, ouch!!! Only 11cm.
-
What happened? Was the paint not sticking?
-
Is that it?
-
VF-1D Yessssssss!!!!!
-
I paid a premium for that black aces kit about 5 years back. Oh well.
-
I had to look up what epistemology is. Awesome drawing!
-
I think that must be the same mold Hasegawa uses in the Macross Zero F-14. The upcoming reissue will look like that so everyone beware.

@derex3592 A Cat's Eye! What's your plan on the canopy? You mentioned a fit issue earlier. @Convectuoso I like decaling a lot but that kit looks like it has many, many decals. Sometimes, when there are too many, you enter "decal hell". Does that particular kit have lots of decals? Anyway, work started back up for me a few weeks back so no progress on my builds. Right now i have: 1/72 vf-1a max theme 90% done 1/72 vf-1s super gerwalk hik theme 50% done 1/72 f-14 tomcatters theme 90% done 1/72 zentraedi soldier 30% done 1/100 arii vf-1d trainer theme 30% done Massive backlog...

That is epic! It just goes to show, you can never have too many missiles! Seriously, just amazing. That armored vf-1a hangar scene you posted in the beginning would make a great diorama.
