Well, it just straight went into the fine structures of the uneven paintjob. It wouldn't be that bad if the color would have been more glossy. Technically, I have to rub the color off, and then spray it again to fix the issue here.

@Big s Yeah, it is the tamiya panel line stuff. It is too thin. I will go back to oil color washes now. It smells more due to the turpentine, but works much better. I am p****d because the panel liner from tamiya worked great on my gundam and the 3D prints, even with mate colors. hurghghghghglgl!
 

@ahiachris Nice rabbit! Is it a scratch build or 3d printed?

@Bolt Yeah ... I kinda got back some motivation as the F-14 turned out that well. The VF-19 and the VF-22 looks nice so far as well. Sometimes the setback is just annoying as hell.

Urashiman the kit is a 1/72 release by Plastic Cretins 

Bolt, the fuselage of my kit was warped as yours, I layered plastic plate and made it curved instead of flat and I also remake some parts.

Been working on the Rabbit. Already did a lot of modification but still a long way to go.

Just found out that Jasmine Model is again release their 1/72 PE parts:

VF-25 (for Bandai) 272001

YF-19 (for Hasegawa) 272002

VF-1  (for Hasegawa)272003

VF-1 Intake and Nozzle (for Hasegawa) 272004

VF-11 272005 (for Hasegawa)

Love it!

Wait, the variants of the original armored VF-1 come with better hands???

So I need to buy a spare copy of one of the new ones to donate hands to my original armored VF-1?

Above photo came from an article of a finished model from a hobby magazine. I'd compared the instruction sheet for both kits at Hobby Search, the hands are and feet are not new parts. 

I bought the Anycubic M3, it is a LCD screen printer. Which one to buy, it all depends on where you live and which brand have better customer support. After acquiring the printer you have to decide which type of resin you're going to use. Usually there are water wash type or the IPA wash type. The resin is ultra violet ray sensitive (it cures when exposed to UV light), which means you may need to have your print station away from windows. You will also need to decide they way you gonna cure the prints, buying a wash and cure station, build your own curing station or use direct sunlight.

The room temperature can affect the cure rate (exposure time) of the resin. It is usually in the 25 celcius range. The resin and IPA will emit fumes that people say are harmful so you need your print station well ventilated. The is a big bunch of youtube videos on all above mentions topic.

All you need to buy is the printer. You may have to decide to buy filament printing or resin printing. I use the resin print.

The software for slicing are mostly free e.g. "Lychee".

The home use scanner mostly can only roughly scan the outline. I don't have a scanner.

For drawing the model you can also use free CAD software e.g. "Fusion 360" from Autodesk.

Just started learnibg 3D drawing and printing. Bought the deck and elevator section stl file of the famous Prometheus. Planning Redrawing most of the files and adding details.

The pictures shows the  printed catwalk. The width of the thin bars you can see on the grille is 0.4 mm and the gap between is 0.30 mm.

Hi Captain, glad to hear that you're back in business on 1/72 and especially MACROSS! I am in for one kit.

Theoretically. I have to see that there is sufficient demand for a subject to justify the tooling: show me that there are enough paying customers and I'm on it.

I am in for every release if it is in the right scale, say 1/12..... I've recently been busy modifying the antique B-Club kit (Heavily) to match the line art.

Thanks @pengbuzz i saw that. It's just the basic model. I need for the scout. Way more going with it. Like I said, I could reference my pics, but prefer to have the legit instructions.

Can you confirm whether it is snapfit?

I think yes. You can check this video

If they want to make it to the correct scale, they may have to increase the size and number of sprues required which may increase the price.

RF2k contacted + 1

Yes!!!!!

I can give some information about Excelsus, which is a garage kit company who previously released Wonder Festival exclusives for 1/72 Hasegawa Macross kits.  So, now it appears that they will be making the gun pod/etc for the Wave 1/72 VF-4.

Although this may not be the complete list, here are some of the items I know of:

45.)   VF-19S Space/Atmospheric Super Parts 1/72 Excelsus
46.)   VF-19F Aircraft Conversion Parts 1/72 Excelsus     
47.)   VF-11C Super Aerospace Fighter, Super Parts 1/72 Excelsus     
48.)   YF-19 Battroid Conversion Set 1/72 Excelsus

They are special items release during the Wonder Festival event. Where Kaiyodo will apply for event license from animate companies like Big West for Macross items. The license is good for one day for the modeler to sell the item during the event. Quantity of each release depends on the modeler, usually limited from a few sets to a few hundred sets.

Check Starship from time to time or write to them. I got mine that way. I believe they will stock it as long as they still list it in their inventory.

Original Top Gun was a very low budget movie. You can see missiles launching at the same hard point again and again.

I don't care about the politics behind on casting. I only want to enjoy the movie and the story. Anyways, none of the characters in SW are not humans from earth.
