    Nope no it doesn't. Sure there is a bit of random piping to tart up the wheel well but look at those gear door attachment points! Hasegawa do that on their 1/72 scale kits. And that gear leg is plain as Jane. No aircraft modeler would put up with that lack of detail for the price they are asking.

    There was a thread rolling around on the boards here somewhere regarding an all PE VF-1 Skeleton that Hasegawa displayed at one of the trade shows. Someone threw some shade at Jasmine for ripping off the design for the Jasmine 1/72 scale cutaway VF-1. But it turns out that Jasmine designed the Hasegawa display item. Hasegawa decided to not pursue the design so Jasmine released it. It could be that there is some understanding between Jasmine and Hasegawa regarding competing products since Hase sell their own PE. This is all conjecture of course. At one point I considered fronting for an entire run and selling them here but that will have to come later. Cheers, Brett

    Update: The 1/48 TV style canopy (part N-8) mask set cutting file is complete as is the 1/72 scale VF-1D. The sets themselves won't be available for a few weeks yet as I juggle things between work which has been busy. I am thinking of doing the VF-4 next but are there any suggestions for what should be next after that? Cheers, Brett

    I think from a space and price point tgat is much more acceptable. What's the process to order selective sprues? Good work on the kit so far too Ted, those pictures are fantastic as well, your photographic skills are top notch! Cheers, Brett

    Exactly like that! Alhough it looks like the parts breakdown of the nose section will prohibit releasing just those as a stand alone kit. Which sprues are needed for it and is it possible to just order those? I saw prices listed on the instructions. Its a grest looking kit and I am very jealous Ted Cheers, Brett

    Unfortunately this is way to big for me. Ironically making it's most attractive feature its biggest drawback. It would be great if they pulled a Wingnut Wings and offered just the cockpit section Cheers, Brett

    I'll bet that the weapons dont come with the Max/Millia kit. - Brett

    BTW as far as I know no one has been with GST by Australian Border Force. They just don't have the infrastructure to support collection.

    Great work as always Cool8or! Cheers, Brett

    Thanks Arbit! Zoom away! It couldn't be any worse than the judges at last weekend's model show. And no I didn't pick up and places as there are far too many flaws. I only entered for a laugh. Yep 63mm to the top of the deployed tail fins. Thanks dude! It did take a while. I may do another kit in the future in a similar pattern but different colours. Cheers, Brett

    Great work guys! And I am especially loving the 1/48 VF-1s. I can tell you what isn't on my workbench any more...this VF-0B! Finally finished two years after I started it. Rubbish pictures but better ones will have to wait until after I move cities. So glad it is finished so that I can move onto the next shelf queen! Cheers, Brett

    200mm x 185mm x 63mm give or take a couple of mils. - Brett

    Welcome aboard Jagimis! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with as you have picked some great kits to start out with. Makenaurenyou checknout WM Cheng's step by step builds (sticky'd in the workbench forum) as they are great resources. Hexworks in 1/72 scale but the techniques are universal. Cheers, Brett

    They do keep repopping it though so it must be popular enough. I'd say if we hadn't of had macross delta we would have had more kits in 1/48. By all accounts Hasegawa are a pretty small company so they are probably near max rate of development. - Brett

    Neptune models is a member of the boards here. Have you tried contacting them to see if you can get a set of canopy bucks? Cheers, Brett

    Wow you did a great job considering the rubbish casting quality! I hope you didn't pay more than $10 for it otherwise you have been ripped off. Is the blue colour a custom scheme? BTW did you know that both Plastic Cretins (Exo on the boards) and I both produce Gnerl kits that haven't been ripped off somebody else's work and are cast super clean? -Brett

    While packing for the end of year move I managed to organise my Macross kits for a pic. That is only the unbuilt steyrene kits. I still have a resin kits and others that are in the cabinet or are WIPs.

    That kit turned out great even in Primer Ted. Well done!

    Yeah I was amazed how much scanning services cost just recently when a bloke I know wanted some work down. There will be a bit of a wait until 3D scanning comes down in the same way that 3d printing has. Perhaps when AR/VR really takes off there will be an uptake as people will want to be able to scan in grandma's ashes into their VR house I can't wait to see what kind of goodies I'll get access to next year as there is some bits and pieces of the job that require 3D scanning... - Brett

    Thanks Arbit! I didn't even know that they were on Hobbysearch as we have been dealing directly with the Japanese distributor. -Brett

    There will has been and will continue to be a delay with the VE/VT-1 canopy masks due the Kamjin kit being moved up the schedule...and the fact that I don't have a canopy to use for development like I thought I did. Oops. In other news our canopy masks are now available at HLJ woohoo! Cheers, Brett
