Butch O'Hare Model Show in Chicago

[Less than Super Ostrich]

Anyone going to this? and are you planning to bring any Macross? Just curious. I think I may bring a few to show. Like most model shows... sci-fi/anime will be a small portion, but can't hurt to show more!

(not that I will be going)

Somebody totally should. Thats the thing I love about Hasegawa, and what it has done for Macross. I think its really brought it into the view of more traditional aircraft modelers who might not be interested in anime, but are looking for something different to build... when they can get their hands on the merchandise. The Macross series is arguably Hasegawa's finest 1/72 line right now (with the exception of their new two engined WW2 line). A year ago I showed an Unbuilt YF-21 to an vetran aircraft modeler who I was friends with, and he was extremely impressed by it. This was a guy who was in his late 50s who had never watched an anime in his life, but he loved the quality and the feel of the design.
