ron5864 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 It would be perfect if Hasegawa offers just the decal sheet for the 1/48 VF-1. That way, at least we can apply those to our Yamato 1/48 VF-1 if we want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapeape Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 +100 - I like that Hasegawa has designed this kit to be excellent on it's own at a reasonable price and leave the resin & PE details to the modeller's discretion (and pocketbook). Already have one on preorder from HLJ myself, and have to say, I agree 100% - couldn't believe that the price was around USD $40.00! Trust me, a lot of Hasegawa's new tool 1/72 scale military aircraft kits (especially their Lancaster, B-24 Liberator, etc.) cost at least twice as much - and this Valk is going to be HUGE in comparison when built. Clearly they're expecting to sell them by the ship-load at that price....and I have every confidence they'll succeed! Next up is probably a VF-1S, then....hopefully a VT-1D, Super, Strike, and Battroid kits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Looking forward to this too, tempted to order a second one since I'm still waiting for the YF-19 to come back in stock, a anywhere....well anywhere affordable that is. Missed out on that one. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvestri Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I'll sell you a resin and PE transkit for it for a buncha cash - it's called the Club-M 1/48th, haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mano_l Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Do you think Hasegawa will release PE part sell seperate for their 1/48 VF-1? But I'm surely pick up one of Jasmine Studio for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquilon Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 The box art is great too. http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/J-index.htm Interesting that both of Hasegawa's 1/48 Macross kits have box-art that's in a vertical format.

aquilon Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) They've done a few of the 1/72 Valks in a vertical format. Correct - I should clarify I was thinking about Hasegawa's models of real airplanes. Only one I can think of off-hand is Tamiya's Fi-156 kit from a couple of years ago (yeah I know NOT Hasegawa) Oh well, the vertical format makes it very dramatic and I wish more manu. would do it.

Trick is, you have to be living in Japan, and enclose the coupon from the instruction sheet to get it. Though, HLJ could probably get a set for you, if you ask.

Jefuemon Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 If only I were in Japan right now, I'd be having a field day at the Hobby shops! Keep up posted on your build Jefuemon! Got a few years? I've only got 19 kits to go before I can start this one. Well, if Hasegawa decides to release a weapon set for this one, it won't effect me very much. Funny thing is, I got a 20% discount on this kit for reserving one for 20 minutes. It was released on February 25th, went into my favorite shop on Sunday looking for it, but they didn't have one yet. Asked me if I wanted to reserve one, said "Of course!". Would have said that even without the discount. Well, when I was filling out the paperwork, they must have gotten a delivery in, because I got a phone call not 20 minutes later saying that it arrived. Still gave me the discount, too! So, if you're ever in Sapporo, take the Nanboku subway line out to Minami Hiragishi, and stop in at Ohm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big F Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Mines on its way. IIRC I have 25 ish kits to go before this one, add that to my enforced modeling exile may mean its a classic before its built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMBounty_Hunter Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Got mine today from AmiAmi. It's so huge and awesome, but all the tiny detail scares me a little since I'm still new at this. Only started bulding by first 1/72 Hasegawa VF-1 a month or so back. 1/48 wings are looking great. Tons of detail, even buttons in the cockpit. VF-1S visor is included on the clear tree but the manual puts it as unused for this kit. And another comparison with the 1/72 VF-1 Absolutely love Tenjin Hidetaka's boxart, scanned it as soon as I opened the box Quick and plain wallpaper-izing I probably won't get to building this for another half year or so. Bunch of other kits in the way for now including my first VF-1. All I'm used to is snappy Gundam stuff but I wanted to do the Hasegawa kit properly so I've been lurking here for a few weeks digging through WIPs.
