@Big s thanks for the tip. In the manual they are black. @Thom no figures in this one. 😢

The 1/100 scale ARII VF-1D I’m already pumped on this little kit. It’s going to require way less putty than I had anticipated. Also the fit is loose enough that alignment will be easy peasy! Is there any sort of source material page on this site for reference. I want to add some missing detail/parts and have a better look at color schemes so I can plan my modifications and painting? The included instructions are well…rough. lol

Nice! I hope it comes with a figure and or pilot. I’ll find out today. 🤞

I‘m waiting in this one. Only $13 so what the hell.

Been meaning to get back at this kit. the Engage SR3 Late Juone. 1:144 scale by Our Treasure. Test fit went ok. It needs some work in the seam department and some parts are a bit too snug. It’s a fixed pose kit based of the resin sculpt and doesn’t have any need for PC parts. The kit came with some optional diecast parts in the legs and soles of feet to make it heavier so it would be more stable. They also included two head options and some soft PVC hands.

Hahaha. I’ll check it out. Thanks.

@pengbuzz Such a bummer. Take that energy and turn out something awesome. @Thom That looks great! Please keep us posted. I’m going to be starting my dry first aircraft kit this week…well that is if the shipping date is correct and it shows up on my steps. @Chas Oh yeah! I‘m excited to see this one take shape. What SDF1 kit is that?

Looks great!

@nightmareB4macross Nonsensical or not I’m blown away. What a cool concept and execution. 👍 A dull blade is asking for a bad cut but I get the reasoning. It must have taken forever to get it to where it is today.

Very cool. What was the inspiration?

Wait, what the? What’s up with all the cut out sections?

A new 1:144 Outtreasure injection kit of the Kubalkan Haretsu No Ningyou Gatexion Mark3 Dharmas is releasing in September. That’s a mouth full. lol. I’m so excited! https://www.hlj.com/1-144-scale-s-s-i-kubalkan-haretsu-no-ningyou-gatexion-mark3-dharmas-five-star-stories-ots00078#

Hahaha. Thanks

Slap on some paint and call it good. Why bother with panel lines or top coat? This hunk of plastic couldn’t care less about that fancy stuff. I love you new/old RX78-2. You are the best chunky buddy and will forever grace my bench as I approach the end of my first year in building model kits, dolls, toy things. 🤪
