the so-called FP are just fuel tanks I think, coz VF-0 are not nuclear powered. maybe in the 4th and 5th ep of MO, we will see other kind of FP such as underwater-use or space-use...there must be variants...

yes, there is a pilot, a gunpod, and a set of FP, that's what the price(2800yen) for!

the VF-1 series weapon set comes with pilots, but this time they will offer pilots with the plane itself, so what will there be in the non-exsist VF-0 weapon set?

that's it, Jan 28!

I prefer a whole 1/72 line, since most "real" planes have been made into this scale. but I'm happy with all kinds of scales any way.

yeah, they've already gave us too much joy and happy, don't ask more

thanks for everything you do, Shawn and Graham, other stuff also

the 1/144 maxl and vf-17 are non-transformable, each kit contains one fighter and one batroid, only basic detail, but the price is fair enough.

1/100 vf-19s/f have different wing shape, and different batroid head, shoulder according to the anime. transformable, not perfect. more detail up.

all those bandai kits can be done without cement and paint, they have stickers. but glue and paint will give them solidity and decent impression.

and www.hlj.com, search "macross"

in the 4th pic, I saw "4000YEN" there, maybe that's the price will be? it's about 40USD? still not a cheap one, let's wait and see more details.

1/100, that's really nice, I have 1/100 F-14, Bandai VF-1 series, and Banpresto craps also, wa ka ka ka ~~~

there are 1/144 Nousjadeul-Ger and Queadluun-Rau also, hope I can get mine this time...

48 FP! 48 FP! 48 FP!

on this page, http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/VF/65715/65715.html, they said "the end of Jan", so I think that will be Jan 30 or 31. at least no earlier than Chinese New year holidays: Jan 22-25.

besides some "normal" military jets model, I suggest some Bandai HG(1/144) Gundam models to practise, if you don't have any experience on "Robot", they are cheap and rather easy to build. just snap on and need no paint. but if you want some decent effect, use them to practise basic assemble\cement\painting\cutting skills etc.. as tetsujin said, try to remove "snap-fit pegs", to get some custom lessons.

then you can take a Hasegawa Batriod Valk to go on, not complex too much. after that, try the Fighter mode Valk.

any warm-hearted who attended this HK tour, can you tell me where to buy Yammie 1/48 Roy Focker jet at a nice price? under 700HKD will be ok, thanks a lot~~

found in a Chinese hobby forum, around 25 RMB (3 USD)

Fighter mode is a standard plane model, if you've done some before, then you won't get big trouble on this VF-1, just more parts.

the Batroid mode is more easy to build, most parts are snap-on, maybe you can find it's just like a regular Gundam model. of coz, some glue and paint will be better.

I'm just a plastic collector, treat models as stamp

still can't catch you guys... any one have pics about the difference? I'm really newbie on 1/48 scale

any difference between 1st release and re-release outside the package? how can I tell this is a new one or not? I never got a 1/48 till now.

I should've known that earlier when HLJ and 1999 change their schedule several days ago...but still a good news to my wallet toooooooooo much stuff to get these days...

where are dejr8bud and Graham's garbage?

don't know if this has been asked before. how can VF-0 "swim" in water? Edger said "it's been modified to use in space", but I still can't figure this out...

long time no see, Sebastian

I just sold all my 1/60s

keep waiting for GBP supply for 1/48 scale

That paint job is absolutely worthy to grace the pages of Model Graphix.

I think so!

how to contribute articles to those Japanese, HK or American model mags? anyone could help?

you two really awesome! don't hold back other photos, show how you made them! especially before the painting

btw, these photos you post today are very differ from those you gave me last time

hey baseballny, where did you find that? are you from China too?

I have more bigger detail images of those two minmay guards they are from 2 different modelers.
