Not really complicated to assemble. If you have some experience with Gunpla (Bandai does a great job with "no glue, snap assembly, colored plastic", you would be fine (get a pair of cheap gundam plamo for experimenting like David did).

Unfortunately, it was impossible for the VF-25 to come with black, red and white parts for the "skin" (because it DOES have a real working "squeleton" for transformation and posability), so you will either have to use the stickers, the decals or paint the decorations yourself...I used decals and will talk about that later, but the thing is: be careful with curves: the decals or stickers have to conform to contours and some raised detals (air intake area, shoulders, the circle bar vernier in the wing root (or shoulder depending on mode)...I consistently screwed up on all those areas, but will use paint to conceal the cracks and missing bits of the decals. Maybe it's the decal "Mr. Mark Setter" I used, or the lack of proper procedure!

Overall, I truly enjoyed building the kit, and it was somehow rewarding to see that everything worked and could transform fine (fighter mode...flimsy as hell, we need a proper traditional model for fighter mode, preferably snap assembly and no paint required!), but decorating was demanding, at least to me, I could not get all the decals to fully comform to the intricate surfaces.

Snapped a pix for illustration on how awful I did around the intake...beware lucky you, who hasn't yet got there, or who successfully did it!!

alright, will definitely give it a try

thanks for the info

but i think it will take some time b4 my place sells the model

is dis 1/72 vf-25 hard to assemble?

cuz i hav no model assembling experience but it looks really nice

really tempting

i'm juz afraid i cant build it cuz it looks really really complicated

You're forgetting the upcoming movie

lol, any idea when izzit released?

i think it shud b few months later

ahhhh few months without macross is unbearable

wow a really fast epi but a nice wan

guess i got used to mac frontier rushing throughout the 2nd half of da series

love the battle between the macross!!!!!!

i'm a bit sad now tat mac frontier ended

wont b able to watch new macross for quite some time

wow nice... thanks for da scans

hope i can get a ps3 soon to play these blu ray discs.. YAY!

dis is awesome

thanks a lot

thanks

appreciate it a lot

dis episode kinda clear up some mysteries, but also reveal more...

big question now is

who is richard birla? is he part of the grace gang? or someone else?

n wat do they wan ranka for?

make another SOUND FORCE?

too bad dis epi has almost 60% of reused scenes

otherwise its still quite nice

dis episode shud hav been really good, but it's way too crammed and rushed

they can actually do it in 2 episodes

the worst part was the transformation of macross quarter

the way they reuse those animation is just weird, total weird

lots of fighting but poor flow of the story

its way too rushed

If I have some time this weekend I'll see what I can come up with for the widescreener.

As for the bad guys, same reason as above.

So many great screenshots to collect, so little time!

thanks

i would like an ending of either sheryl or ranka dying

mayb klan klan will die n michel will change his attitude after her death

dis ending shud b dramatic enuff

i'm using a widescreen monitor

i hope mayb u guys can make some wallpapers with either 1280 x 800 or 1680 x 1050 resolution
