Hi MW folk! Has anyone heard anything regarding when VF-0S might become available? From the looks of it—it seems far off as there has not been any recent detailed pics to salivate over… As much as I am looking forward to getting a few, my wallet has other ideas… The question for me is how much plasma should I give before the pre-order becomes available…

Thank you all so much for the advice! I should have mentioned this somewhere, but I have been a lurker for quite some time. MW somehow come across my radar when I first saw some Graham's posts on the 1/72 Yamato VF-11B. Yes, it was that long ago! So shy of going for the Bandai Chogokin DX Vf-1s, I think I joined somewhere when Yamato started previewing the 1st generation VF-1s. While my variable toy collecting ended a while ago, I have some kits stowed away. I did a while ago use a toothpick (yes, I did whittle it down as needed) for (3) of my F-22s. They came out alight except for that fourth one which I bungled pretty badly. I do have some Tamiya thin cement. All though that glue applicator will save a lot of trees...The last time I visited MicroMark, a miniature table saw landed on my porch. I thought it a bit funny...the wife not too much. I plan on giving both a go in the neat future. -WS

I am not sure where this question should go but I figure this thread might be good as any...I have a bunch of 1/144 TomyTec model kits that I hope to get around to putting together. I used very light touches of a medium "Insta-Cure" Cyanocrylate adhesive in some ones I put together a few years ago. While this adhesive does work, it is quite messy if you get it wrong. Would any of you folk know of a better adhesive that will be nicer to these pre-painted kits? I recently marred the paint of a diecast that I was trying to repair as I miscalculated how much glue that I needed... I haven't in a long time put together any plastic kits in a very long time. With the constraints of pre-finished kits, the margin of error seems to be a lot smaller. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Yammie Fans! If it weren't for Macross World, I would have never re-kindled my passion for Macross a long while ago (Thanks Graham!!). I feel quite fortunate that I got my 1/48's when I did a long time ago (Pics might be forthcoming as I am unpacking from a move). I think I would have liked to get a DX or two if it came out 18 years ago. The DX seems nice, The reviews that I have seen online make a very convincing argument...if you don't own a Yammie. Do you recall the jump that Yamato made to get to 1/48 once upon a time? To me, that was enough change and refinement to punish my wallet to shell out monies for [3] DRYL VF-1S' and [3] Gen #1 Low Viz's. I don't see that kind of jump with the DX. Yamato set a high benchmark. It seems to me that the DX is really a Yamato-plus. I probably would shell out / donate a functioning organ to get a better VF-1... ...but in order to do so, the DX needed to make a greater leap or go back in time about 18 years...
