  1. July, 20th Update:

    The assembly manual for the drone fighter is available:

    -on issuu : http://issuu.com/xig...er_instructions

    or

    -dropbox : https://www.dropbox....ctions.pdf?dl=0

    Painted version:

    The painted version will come partially assembled through steps: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 and 7a only.

    So you will have to assemble the wings (step 5), slide the laser and snap the drone upper nose in (steps 6 and 7b)

    August, 2nd:

    Important info: From now, the 1:60 drone orders are CLOSED because the molds would not support any additional casting unit we need. So anyone who would like a 1:60 drone would be put on a waiting list until we reach a confortable number to make the new molds. That would be 10 or something like that.

    Still take orders for 1:72 drones unpainted, but I will ask full payment from now.

    Pre-orders as of August, 17th:

    Send a PM to Xigfrid or reply to this thread to secure a resin kit of the drone fighter.

    JUNE 26th, 2015 UPDATE

    The kits will be made in the USA by Jasonc (from this forum), so the shipping cost to continental US would stay low.

    Price is fixed to both scale to $85 USD.

    An immediate payment of $50 USD to secure a kit will be requestd, this will pay for the mold material, the rest: $35 + shipping will be asked when the kit will be ready.

    - Drone Fighter in resin of 15 parts to be assembled and painted. You need to specify the desired scale between 1/60 and 1/72.

    - We need a minimum of 20 kits in pre-order to launch a production in one scale, if this number is not reached, we will have to adjust the price if possible.

    - Most of the kit will be casted in the orange/tomato colored resin so very little painting would be needed

    - Jasonc is offering a painting service for an additional $30.

    - Mimics: Camera rotation has been removed, the Laser canon can slide as described previously, the hanging lever rotates and can be deployed.

    - A basic decalc sheet is planned and would be added to the kit.

    - The stand adapter is not included, but you can ask for it or order it directly from Shapeways for $5, or just use what you want to display it!

    Few details may be forgot in the description, but the main description is there, and nothing is definitive until Xigfrid ask for pre-payments. So just tell us what you want and in which quantity of each kit!

    The 1/48 scale drone kit available NOW in Xigfrid shop on shapeways in WSF.

    The kit is composed of 11 parts for the entire drone, plus a Yamato Stand adapter if you want a display solution.

    It is also recommended to order the laser canon in Steel instead of WSF, but it works pretty well in WSF.

    After seeing so many succesfull 3D printing projects here, I have a project request from 3D Printing Masters here :)

    How about a 3D Printed Macross Plus Drone Fighter?

    We already have AIM-225 Missiles from Arcadia YF-19 for reference, so it could be a little bit easier to model the drone in 3D!

    DF lenght's is about 12m, so it is 20cm in 1/60th scale...

    Some reference images from M3!

  2. I was surprised. Mine is pretty floppy, but other than that it is pretty cool.

    Going to fine tune the adapter. It should be up for sale on the webstore within the next couple of days.

    Good job bro! Let me know when they are ready :D

  3. it is the toy I am waiting for HK to include in their sale, so far, it is only the 19S. Fair question, why most of the 19P I saw does not have the shoulder accessories attached?

    MW Trivia #254:

    Do you know that MW'ers actually requested from Yamato to make 19P's shoulder speakers removable.

    :D
