Big, Black Beautiful Bird.

Agreed. Those inlets make it funky. Reshape those inlets and turn the main wingtips up though still not as beautiful as the VF-0D. Can't wait to hold one!

I didn't say it was based on it, just thought the front canards and wings reminds me of the J-20 so that's why I wrote it. F-15 S/MTD and F-16XL inspiration would be cool to see. Was that Shin doing a Fly by above my post? .

BTW, apologies in advance if someone answered this already but does anyone knows what is the type of weapons pod included with the VF-0D?

Touching on an earlier topic, when I watch Macross Zero my impression was that the 0D was a two man fighter and in no way a trainer. Shin was a capable pilot on combat patrol. Most definitely think the 0D is an homage to the F-15 F-14 tomcat.

Fixed it for you. Or did you mean F-15 Eagle? To me it looks more like the Chinese J-20.

On second thought, maybe not. I keep on thinking Firefox when I see this for some reason.

PM'd

@ Ignacio- Did you go through a local cabinet maker and told them your specs? Would like to try and get a custom built one if it costs the same as shipping one here.

Space patrol:

wait, what is going on in this picture?

He's using those grey/white clamps as adjustable shelf pegs it looks like. Clamp the vertical post and use the other side as the shelf support. Repeat 4x per shelf.

Thanks KB. Wish I had a display case to put them in instead of leaving them out in the open or in boxes. Shipping sucks to here. Need a couple of more Yetistands.

Nice Custom display case.

Alto and Brera playing chicken.

I guess the people in the background didn't support it's release . Hopefully it kick starts the Macross 3P scene.

Cool and Creepy at the same time. Especially the 3rd pic.

Color not finalized yet but closer to this:http://www.arcadia.ac/products/detail.php?gid=201

Interesting. New expandable/pullout joints = more fun for me! (hope they last though)

Please adopt me!

Hobby search: 33120yen

PO up at Big in Japan 31280yen.

Yeah amiami price has been funny - 31400 is 85.326% of 36800.

If it is like the Arcadia YF-19, HLJ would have 10% off listed and the Black Friday special would add another 10% off that price, making it 19% off. I haven't seen any better price for the YF-19 listed.

Their list is 39744yen which is 36800 plus the 8% tax. 31400yen is about 21% off of their list. But if HLJ follows that pattern for this release then that is a deal that's hard to pass up (29800 yen).

Thanks for the heads up treatment! 31400yen plus shipping. 21-ish% off their listed price, limit 3 at Amiami for those too lazy to click on the link.

I guess Amiami factors in the 8% tax rate into it's list price. Now to wait and see what the other places charge.

If I had the skill sets to use water-slide decals,and add weathering and protective coating so then I would. But since I have none of that, all my Valks are exactly as they are right out of the box.

-b.

This ^ . Also, big shaky hands + clumsy = Fail for me.

Man, I remember those Testor and Monogram F-19 kits .

It says 36800 plus tax. Does this mean consumption tax? 8% this year going to 10% in Oct 2015? Domestic purchases only affected or passed on to everyone?

For me personally, If the asking price helps Arcadia bring more valks in the future and keeps them from not dropping the product line then so be it. I'm in for two.

I guess I'm eating instant ramen for the next couple of months years.

With fold speakers.

I think attachment on the renewal is more accurate compared to one on the V1.

Not a VF-25G but you get the picture. Fold booster won't fit because it doesn't have the mounting holes.

Thank Duymon for this pic:

I was bored at home and going through my photo archives.

These awesome Valks are from Valkyrie Magnus' collection. Thank you again for letting me photograph them.

*snip*

Awesome! Beautiful work as always. Was thinking about doing something like that but you got it covered!
