DARTHTODD

Thanks guys, I'll say a little prayer and try the rubbing alcohol first. Yes, I mean canopy, not cockpit (Sorry, I'm not much for thinking straight on football sunday!)

Got any suggestions for removing thin cement off of a transparent plastic surface? Got some on my cockpit and of course it has a fingerprint in it and is very noticeable. Thanks!

Hey, just wondering if anyone knows of a good transformers forum. I'd like to join one and was wondering which one is the best. Thanks.

Thanks Dave, I'll take a look at these paints and see if I can find some that'll work. I'll let you know Uxi if I find some good matches. And if anyone else has already tried matching these colors and has some suggestions, let us know.

I'd go for both the low vis VF-1J and VF-1S. Bring em on, I'm not broke yet......

Just wondering if anyone knows which paint colors match the yamato 1/60 VF-1A Max (the blue), the VF-1S Roy (the yellow), and the VF-1A Hikaru (the red). It doesn't matter which brand of paint though it would be nice if they were common brands. Any help would be appreciatted since I'm assuming some of you have tried touching up your valks or customizing, thanks.

I've ordered most of these paints from greatmodels.com recently. Short story: it's been a month, contacted them, they're not sure they're going to get them in at all. Anyone know of a place where I can order these from? I'm trying to paint a F-14 (not the Hase raised panel line kit by the way) macross colors and the kit has the colors listed in Mr. Color or GSI Creos Aqueous Hobby Color. Haven't found either. Please help me with this as I am anxious to get started, thanks.

Does anyone know where I can get some Yamato 1/60 VF-1S heads? I wanna do some customizing. I don't care if they're re-casts or originals. Thanks, any help would be appreciatted!

Sounds like you've seen these before Sabretooth, are the ships worth buying? Are the ships comparable to action fleet vehicles? I'd like to find out how good they are before I buy them.

By the way, here's a link to the furuta micro star trek ships.

As far as I can tell from the pictures, they're pretty similar. Anyone have these? I'm looking for some hands-on impressions.

Here is an internet site that has the yamato star trek ships.

I've also found quite a few listed on ebay when searching under "star trek yamato" for example.

I hope someone can still answer my original questions as these ships look pretty cool and I wanna get some!

Just wondering if anyone has any opinions on whether the furuta or yamato miniature ships are better. I am interested in these miniatures but I haven't been able to find any reviews on them yet. Also, are both these companies planning on making more miniature star trek ships? I don't wanna get into a line that's a dead end. Any help would be greatly appreciatted!! Thanks!

In general though, does this kit look good? Are there receased panel lines, good detail, etc.?

Didn't know that the Hase kit's wings can't swing.....that kind of sucks. Does anyone know if the Revel/Monogram or Academy kits wings can swing? (for a F-14D?)

Thanks for the link! I've found a "VF-2 Bounty Hunters" version. Anybody have this or know if it's good? I'm assuming so since I haven't heard anything bad yet about the Hase F-14D's.

Since I'm kind of a virgin when it comes to modeling, where is a good place that I can find the Hase or Fujimi F-14D model kit? I've looked for a while and I haven't found it yet. Or does anyone know if the Revell kits are any good? I've found quite a few of these so far. Are there any good online stores that you guys know of that sell this kit? Thanks.

By the way, I've already boughten (still in transit) the Macross Zero version for the decals so I'm anxious to find one of these other models so I can get to work on this baby. Thanks again guys for all your help so far.

Thanks Dave for the info, I'll be looking for one. Any ideas or suggestions for paint colors for the F-14? What are the closest color matches for this aircraft? If I'm not mistaken, looks like two main colors for the aircraft plus a few other colors for lights, landing gear, etc. I'm open for suggestions. Thanks.

So if the Hasegawa 1/72 Macross Zero F-14 is really crappy, what's the best 1/72 version out there? I would like a fairly accurate version that I'd be able to apply the Macross Zero stickers (from the crappy F-14) to. I don't really wanna pay a lot either as I'm just getting back into models and it's not my collecting focus right now. Any feedback would be appreicatted, thanks!

Hey, I was thinking of buying this model, is it fairly accurate? Not that it needs to be exact when compared to the anime, but if it's close, that's good enough for me. Anyway, any feedback would be appreciatted. Thanks!

Hey there, I'm still somewhat new and I don't know yet what the difference is between the TV fast packs and the DYRL fast packs. Can anyone help me out? Pictures would be greatly appreciatted or else just a good ole' explanation. Thanks!

I've dealt with kanata67, kyzersoze, CID, thirdalien, and they've all been great! Sorry if I've left anyone out. Just did business with Dax415 and he was great also.

Bingo!! Thanks a lot for all your help!

photo didn't work, let's try again....

Does anyone know what toy series this figure is from? It's about 1 1/2-2" in height. I found it when I was home going through all the toys that I had as a kid. I remember that these figures came with ships/vehicles but that's about it. It's from the late 80's or so. Any help would be appreciatted as this is really bugging me (one of those things that you remember being really cool, but can't remember details!).

Sorry for asking a question that has probably been asked a million times by now. I am first getting into Macross (watched Robotech when I was younger a bit, bought most of Yamato's toys already) and I want to know which episodes/movies I should watch. I wanna start out with Macross first but I'm a bit confused as to if I should watch DYRL or the episodes or what first. Which is first? I wanna learn about Macross in chronological order (from the anime itself, not by reading about it from internet sites). Also, what about the other Macross series (Macross Plus, Macross 7). The way I understand it is that Macross Plus happens after Macross and that Macross 7 is like an abstract series about another dimension? Am I right on this?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciatted. I have been trying to find these answers for quite a while and I keep getting confused by conflicting information. Thanks and don't hate me for asking such "dumb" questions. I'm sure most of you know the answers to these.

1/72 = 3

1/60 = 8

1/48 = 1 (in transit)
