darklord4 went above & beyond the call of duty. Thanks specr0101 nice SC kits

Try these. Not sure if scale will be okay though. Decal 1 Decal 2

Is that the US site or the Japanese site? I'm pretty sure they only have them on the Japanese site. Try this Hasegawa macross kits

Er if you mean did I do it properly, then yes I usually put a coat of gloss (Testor's Glosscoat) then apply the decals using a setting solution so they conform to model's surface better, let them dry for at least 24hrs than apply either a gloss or matt (Testor's Dulcote) coat over the the entire model as required. You can eliminate the gloss coat part by painting the model in gloss paint to begin with then applying a matt finish if required after completion. I always apply a finishing coat as I weather my models using pastels and they will rub off or smudge if not protected.

No problem it's supposed to be like that. Why does it have to be "brilliant white" when you'll be painting it anyway

I've got 20+ year old models with still perfect decals. Guess I haven't waited long enough Decals are thinner and conform to the surface better giving a painted on look if done properly. They require a lot more effort that stickers but are worth it if you don't want the toy with stickers look.

I have the current 07 Hasegawa catalogue and it has a seperate Macross insert. There are no new models listed on the insert.

My kit didn't come with decals.

That's pretty much a colour version of the instructions that come with the figure.

Just got my copy today. Certainly covered Mospeada quite well but if you sneeze you'll miss the Southern Cross parts .

Be adventurous It's not rocket science. I transformed mine in around 5 minutes. The only confusing part for me was how to unlock the hips but with a bit of brute force and ignorance all was well. Must admit it's a bit disappointing So small. It marvellous what good photography can make something look like

I live in Australia and I've got a copy coming and I reckon I'm bit further away from their location than you are

PM sent

Just received an email from HLJ saying that they have cancelled my back order for the Max colour as they cannot get any and have been told by Yamato that they will not be making anymore any time soon.

Have you tried TAMARKET They are in Melbourne. Not sure that they are that much better though. If you're after figures & kits try HLJ, use them all the time.

Just finished watching Southern Cross. Better late than never I suppose On to Mospeda next. Have to say I thought it was rather good. You can definately see the production company ties to Macross. Love old school anime. I take it, it was not all that popular as apart from the Robotech toys I haven't seen any items for this show around.

You'll have to lock the display cabinet to make sure it doesn't start hanging out in public toilets

Prices are way over the top

True some areas of the ship were "giant sized" but why would you design your premium front line state of the art fighter based on the size of a couple of doors in an alien ship that you had no idea where it came from on the off chance that the doors were for beings and not some sort of vehicle? In answer to the original question, it was probably done so fluff freaks on sites like this could speculate the topic to death

How did UN Spacy design the Valk to fight an enemy they didn't know existed until they come knocking on the front door in the first episode

That's a bit of a bugger Luckily it hasn't happened to me yet but then again I'm not much of a box man (well cardboard one's anyway )

I've purchased a fair bit of stuff from them over the past year and the only time the boxes have been damaged was when the mindless gorilla's in the postal department decided to stress test the packaging and most of the time it was the outside packaging that suffered, all inside boxes were fine. The one thing that they could improve on is their order processing time, sometimes it is sooo slow.

I'll definately be interested in one of each

Very nice. Thanks for the effort

The heads are definately different.
