So, you found it on MacrossWorld's model section :lol:

The original kit is very rare nowadays and near impossible to find as this was an event limited kit, so meaning only around 10-20 original ones exists!

Recast ones can be found from time to time either here or on on-line auction places. Since you live in China, when you do have the chance to visit Hong Kong there are still some Hobby Shops offering the recast kit of this 1/48 Club-M YF-19 kit. They go for around US$110.

For that price I am almost certain it is a recast, original ones go for US$300-500!

How to tell if it is a recast, well the original one came in a brown carton box with the logos of Club-M and has the Club-M sticker, as well as the Big West sticker. Next, the original one had metal parts for the landing gear, which most likely the recast one does not.

Last but not least, the detail on the 1/48 YF-19 kit is actually very poor. If you really want to build a Macross kit is such a scale, I might suggest you go for the 1/48 Club-M VF-1 Ultimate Strike instead!

Here are some of the pictures I have on the two kits that I have in my collection.
