    Ah, that explains he’s able to give it a custom paint job. I completely forgot about the 1/72 model kit after all these years.

    Saw these on the internet. I'm very sure that this is the DX VF-31J. Does anyone here know or try to give it a custom paint job? The VF-31 cannot be disassembled as completely as the VF-25. I tried disassembled mine before and it did not go well. Many parts are glued together. Any comment and experience sharing are greatly appreciated.

    Nice! I love Macross II mecha design more than any other Macross mecha (other than VF-1). Unfortunately, there are many willing to pick up the tab of making more Across II models or toys. Sorry Mr Kawamori.

    With the 48,000 yen price tag for DX YF-21, I wonder what would be the price for this. I won't be surprised if it is more than 50,000 yen. It'll still sell like hot cake though.

    Arcadia VF-5000G

    Firefox21 replied to daBlah!'s topic in Toys

    With the YF-21 DX pushes the price to 48,000yen, I wonder what the price will it be as Arcadia always has a much higher price tag.

    Manta! That's nice. Cartoon accurate too.

    Has the DX VF-1A ever comes out with the brown one? The last I see is the Angel Bird scheme.

    Just got this one from Mandarake too. The price is good. My impression is that the overall quality is a drop compared to the VF-31. I'm not sure how it fair compared to other VF-31AX as this is the only one I have. The grey upper intake is molded in grey and the quality of the plastic looks cheap. Overall, many areas are a tad loose and some areas are overly tight. But the tabs in the wings fit properly to the legs in fighter mode though.

    It's a very nice figure and surprise that no one attempted Omnibots until now. I've got mine but it has some QC issue, one of the feet is very loose.

    It's a mixed from Hasegawa 1/72 VF-11B Super Thunderbolt and VF-11D. Instead of using the official colour scheme (beige and orange), I decided to use the colour scheme (white and orange) from Yuji Kaida box art, which decidedly gives a more striking look. The original Yuji Kaida's box art

    Thanks all. I left out a few transparent pieces in the first few pics. I didn't even realize it until I placed it on the shelf 😄. Now it's more complete.

    I decided to do a more 'realistic' VF-11D than the fancy colour one. The weapons are a mix from my stash.

    A modified F/A-18F canopy
  15. Firefox21
    Hasegawa has never and probably will never make a two seater for YF/VF-19 as it's not official. Two seater VF-19 only exists in VF Master File. Obviously it needs some work on the canopy area. The good thing for Hasegawa 1/72 VF-19 kit is that it comes as a full size two seater, and it comes with second seat and pilots. that alone saves me a lot of work. I used a 1/72 F/A-18F canopy for this mod. The canopy was rather long. I ended up extending the rear pilot tub a fair bit. Despite sanding off some of the base of the canopy, it's still too wide for the VF-19 body. I have to add 1mm strip on both side of the body and some putty for the aft section. I suspect a 1/72 SU-27UB canopy would be a better fit. It will also gives a more prominent raised body style. Anyway, I've got to make do with what I have and it turns out not too bad.

    That is some cool sound editing!
