Kinda sorta spoilers for the 2nd Delta movie, but not really. You can't spoil something that's already rancid to begin with.

The VF-2SS looks good in battroid but to me looks like a fat turkey in fighter. Fighter only looks good when looking down from above.

1/48+fp's, 1/60+fp's, 1/72, 1/2k, 1/3k,1/100 and now 1/144

Yeah looks rather plain without markings. -
Now that's the VF-0 we should have gotten out of the box! Especially if Bandai insists on overcharging overseas customers.
-
Damn those custom figures look amazing! Great work!

The only angle the VF-2SS actually looks good in. -
Looks so much better now! I've never liked how inconsistent Bandai's paint work on their HMR valks have been. They cut so many corners that they end up looking like half-finished models with lots of obvious details missing. I had to put in a lot of work to make the VF-4 look decent as I thought it looked kinda anemic out of the box. "Arcadia doesn't put enough tampo on their non-PF valks." Bandai: Hold my beer.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Thanks! Looking forward to taking her apart then detailing and reassembling her. Just need a Cavaliers and I'll have all the Yamato valks I've been looking for... -

One of my most long sought after valks.

Par for the course for Bandai. Walked by the Bandai offices in Tokyo and wanted to drop in and give some complaints, but they were closed.
-
Thanks. I'll let you guys know if I come across anything interesting. Been visiting some friends and drinking.... a lot.... so I haven't spent much time searching yet. Already have two VF-0S's on order so I didn't pick one up here. 14k at the Tamashii Nations shop in Akihabara.

Sweet pic!
-
Plenty of 0S's to be found here in Japan.
-
Not having things that could have been easily implemented like an opening cockpit is just Bandai cutting corners.
-
All I required from the beginning was for the HMR version to be bigger than the VF-1, which it is. Scale perfection would be nice but since it's non-scale anyway, it's not a dealbreaker.
-
Got notice for mine. $119 shipped. A far cry from the $160 before tax and shipping Bandai wants for purchasing domestically.
-
It's on my WWM 25 and Max YF-29 which were purchased from Japanese stores. Addendum: Looked through a few boxes and that sticker goes all the way back to at least the reissue Alto 29 and 31AX releases, which didn't get the international treatment.
-
No math there. Just HMR fanboyism.
-
Will be out of town for a few weeks so mine's staying in PW for a bit. Will have to live vicariously through everyone else's pics.
-
Bottom pic definitely more accurate depiction of the height difference between the two.
-
On the Frontier line, the 25 series probably is the easiest to get the shoulders blocks to sit flush with the rest of the fuselage. The 29 is a bit harder, and I find the 27 to be the worst of the lot. Especially when you're trying not to scratch the paint, which will come off if you breathe on it too hard. But in general Bandai valks have always been inferior to Yamato/Arcadia when it comes to parts all fitting together.
-
I did the same thing to a small bottle of wash recently when I opened it and the cap was loose. Wash was all dried up.
-
All I have time to do until mid-November.
-
When have I ever not done this? Looking good! I'll make the landing gears white on mine, but all other work will have to wait until I come back from Japan.
-
LOL yep! It's the easiest way to work on it, after all.
