My story isn't finished yet. A ccouple of days after, when I contacted the shop that sold me the VF-1S with missing nose gear tires and ask if I can get replacement, he agreed to to give me replacement.
The owner of this shop has been my Macross Supplier since 2003. I got from him the 1/48 VF-1A Low vis and was the first to post pictures here in MW, I recall.
Most of us here seem to notice the skull print, let me check mine right now...
