Vince Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 So do we have reason to believe there could be 1/48 VF-21/22 ?? I say we keep buying the 19's, and make they think 21 & 22 will sell well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zinjo Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) WOW if Hasegawa gets into 1/48 scale versions of it's licensed valks, they'll open up a whole new market! With Bandai stepping on the toes of existing Macross licenses from other companies with its DX, VF-100 and 1/72 scale kit lines, Hasegawa could take its superior sculpts into a new market previously only tapped by garage kit manufacturers. A very good choice to start a line with. The YF-19 has to be one of their most popular kits... If it's true, I guess I'll need to start saving for these new kits...

Gabe Q Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 This is huge! Can this mean the whole line is gonna be released in this bigger scale eventually? I'm gonna definitely get this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cent Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Hey, a 1/48 is cool and all, more details and bigger bird and such, don't you guys have a fondness for the smaller, more convenient 1/72s that don't eat up all your shelf space and can instead fit in with a squadron of other 1/72s? Having a squad of 1/48s just seems unmanageable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetsujin Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 Hey, a 1/48 is cool and all, more details and bigger bird and such, don't you guys have a fondness for the smaller, more convenient 1/72s that don't eat up all your shelf space and can instead fit in with a squadron of other 1/72s? Having a squad of 1/48s just seems unmanageable. Well, sure. But any truly new Hasegawa Macross kit is cause for celebration, IMO... I was starting to think we'd really seen the end of Hasegawa Macross. Anyway 1:48 is a much more comfortable scale for building a really detailed model...

kyekye Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 (edited) In the Hobby Japan interview (I think it was April issue? The one with Zaku cover), they mentioned they will reveal more details during Japanese spring model/toy conventions. Probably that's when we get to see some images. Can't wait to see some visuals!!

cool8or Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 What should be the next move? the YF-21? the VF-1? If they make a VF-1, it could be more detailed than Tanmen version? Anyway, this is very exciting, I' acording 100% with Zinjo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 (edited) I love the 1/72 scale Hasegawa kits and all, but a 1/48 scale YF-19, count me in, I'll make room for it some how!! Just imagine the detail it will offer!! If its like Hasegawa's 1/48 F-14D kits then I'm totally sold. Plus its really not that expensive!! If they want to make VF-1's, the VF-11B or VF-2SS in this scale as well, I would have no objections!!

Fly4victory Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 LOL I can here now all those unbuilt 1/72 Hase kits and 1/48 Yamies being readied for eBay Bring them on! Not to be a vulture but I would be happy to see the secondary market flooded with 1/72 and 1/48 scale. Those are standard scales and it easy to find support equipment and dioramas for those models and toys... unlike 1/60. Thanks for the warning. Place a pre-order also!

Dobber Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 OMG! OMG! OMG! This is so freaking cool!!!! Sold!!!! I actually really want to see a Hasegawa 1/48 VF-1 also!! Not to mention the much overlooked VF-11....and a YF-21. Just loove ready that it is a new SERIES introduction so I'm taking it as more IS to come!!! I'm in heaven!

Dobber Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Also, maybe at one of the up-comming hobby shows, they'll let us know what's next along with showing som pictures.of the 19. I'm hoping for control surface options maybe even some removable panels to see some avionics or engines!! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobber Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I think that the title to this thread needs to have the question mark removed. I almost over looked this thread because I thought it was another "do you think" or "will they ever?" type thread. Some people may be missing this.

MechTech Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 1/48th is the hottest scale modeling wide right now. You can get just about anything in 1/48th to include all sorts of armor now! I think Hasegawa is getting in on it. - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big F Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Im sure that even if they just rescaled the 1/72. The fact that it was much bigger the detail freaks among us would have a hay-day adding in all the extra detail that is just nearly imposible at 1/72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hasegawa is getting in on it. - MT Yea... everything in 1/48th except modern military choppers and infantry... which is simply annoying... anyway, i'm hoping Hasegawa gives us something other than an upscaled version of the 1/72 YF-19... I'd still buy one, but i'd be a bit disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gubaba Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I'll get this. Definitely. Hell, I'll buy two if it means they'll make more. I'd even buy three...one to build, one to keep as a spare, and one to turn into the Fire Valkyrie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 smart move by Hasegawa... does anyone know if this is a whole new sculpt or just the 1/72 upscaled?

Hopefully its an updated design/new sculpt with improved details (If possible, its Hasegawa after all). Working landing gear would be great!!
