    Topcoat is what you apply to protect paint, weathering, panel lining, decal, etc at the end. Don't use those topcoat that you'll see in hardware stores, etc. Get topcoat that is specialized to hobby toys like model kits such as the Mr.Hobby brand which you can get it in any Special Hobby Stores. It's available in glossy, semi-gloss, and matte. I only suggested to use mechanical pencil, that way if you make mistake it's easy to erase it. It's not going to do big harm to the toy if you're afraid on ruining it by using other applications. Also, it's the easy one to use if you're a beginner to this weathering/panel lining method. But like takatoys suggested above, Vallejo Acrylic paints are safe. Acrylics are water-based so it's safe for plastic. And it has a special thinner that goes with it to dilute it. If you're unsure, how about you try it on cheaper kits first just to get the feel of doing it. You can also search YouTube. There's a lot of panel wash / panel lining training videos in there. Have fun.

    Use Mechanical Pencil. Easy to erase if you make mistakes. Just make sure to topcoat it so you don't smear it.

    Sorry to hear about that. Hope you can get refunded on the rest of the purchase. Anyways, feel free to share your experience here as well since this post will be buried soon for new updates on releases.

    Official release is this month of February as per Tamashii Website. But no exact date posted yet in their schedule page. From proxy site like Anime-Export, they put Feb 29 for now. Which most sites do when there's no official date listed. As for P-Bandai US, it only says March 2024. Hope that helps.

    Did you try to ask the size of the box in total? I checked USPS and assuming that they're using USPS, here are the example of cost from New York shipped to California using USPS price calculator. Their Priority Mail Large Flat Rate Box - 12 1/4" (L) x 12" (W) x 6" (H) is $24.75 Using calculate price based on Shape and Size (1.5lbs) 16" (L) x 12" (W) x 10" (H) is $60.65 14" (L) x 8" (W) x 12" (H) is $18.05 I guess your box size is somewhere in the middle. I'm pretty sure the items are already cheap enough and accessible stateside at this point. Buy that outside the country, I'm pretty sure you're going to spend the same or more depends on the shipping cost. Follow what your heart desire. Just my 2 cents.

    Forgot about the VF-1's. The Siegfrieds kind of linger in my head than the other two.
  24. no3Ljm
    Correct. A lot of stuff looks like it's not really tabbed properly. Even the intake covers looks like it's gonna come off or something.
  25. no3Ljm
    Yep. For Macross, not sure which company. But I guess this partsformer method is probably already a thing with other companies. TomyTec did the 1/144 VF-31 Siegfrieds back in 2016. Which you have to buy both Fighter and Battroid kits in order to build Gerwalk.
