Advice wanted on building a Hasegawa VF-1 Fighter kit
geck replied to SteveTheFish's topic in Model kits
I always build in sub assemblies and try to paint as much as I can before assembling. Depends on the kit and parts...some are easier than others.. I find this gives the advantage of having a neater build and paint job. It can make masking difficult areas easier as well. For finishing/weathering...same thing depending on the situation. -

Those VE's are beautiful. I hope Hasegawa makes those in 1/48 one day. -
Can't believe it's the 40th anniversary...and NO PG VF-1 from Bandai. Perhaps if things were better economically... A 1/32 or 1/24 VF-1 in PG form would've been incredible.
-
YES! Finally they are re-releasing the photo-etch for the VF-1 1/48! Those are going for stupid prices on the auction sites. Need about 3 or 4 of them.

Amazing box art...the art really sells the kits. Got my shipping notice!
-
Usually you see these kits...once and a while...here and there...like on eBay or some flea market. What an incredible inventory and time capsule! Not only extremely rare kits...but brand new and shrink wrapped in some cases. That name...GTC...jogged my memory and I hadn't seen that in probably 35+ years! Incredible. I miss the 80's quite a bit. What a incredibly creative time that was.

Thanks guys. Taking a break from Macross for now...but I just bought a few Hasegawa VF-25's and VF-31's and my Regult is getting lonely. Still not happy with the photos...so I need to work on that as well.
-
Very nice job. I especially like the metal pieces like the feet and exhaust back-plane.
-
I recently completed this. Fantastic kit and I feel they are superior to the 1/72 kits. Can't wait to tackle the Super versions!
-
FINALLY!!! After all these years!! Thank you Hasegawa!!
-
I got mine on eBay for $428.00 WITH EMS shipping...it was not an additional charge. Got here in about 5 days, but thought it would take longer. No damage...brand new in the box! Some of those initial shipping charges are outrageous. What was HLJ thinking? Glad they lowered it.
-
The real question: Will they include decals in the fighter kit???
-
Sent DM.

Been a lurker here for years, but finally signed up as I'm very interested in getting a set of your decals. Still can't believe this kit did not come with decals in addition to the stickers.
