Max Jenius Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Hey guys, I'm having a brain fart and was wondering what that old DYRL VF-1S model was that used to be the be-all, end-all as far as detail was concerned. IIRC, it was very limited run, but it was huge for the time. It had photo etched parts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 That would be the 1/48 Ultimate Detail VF-1S Strike Valkyrie by Club-M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jadefalconguard Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Click in my sig for a build up of this beauty. It was a recast from Hobbyfan, it might be still available there as a recast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Jenius Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Damn. Try as Yamato might, that baby is still the king for fighter mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Jenius Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 hmm, it appears that you could actually build it w/o the FAST packs too. Anyone that can confirm this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, you've got the choice with or w.o. FP. FP itself gives you a choice between Super or Strike package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy007 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) i have this resin kit but i have not built it yet nor have i really given it a good look. Does it give the option to build it with the landing gear up? Edited December 2, 2009 by Jeremy007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But either way would look sick!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But either way would look sick!! The 1/48 UD Strike can only be built with the strike pack on. If you wish to make it a non-strike, modifications are required. There was a 1/48 UD VF-1, that was later released at WF, without any strike parts. I hope to one day own one of these. I personally feel this is the most incredible Macross model through out the ages. Timeless.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 i built came with parts for vanilla and strike /super mode. This includes shims for the legs to pose them correctly depending on the version you pick. Heck i took an old one apart and rebuilt it in fighter mode using the spare bits that came in the second kit i had. The 2 were built years apart so i lost the first kits fighter parts. You are correct that a "Fighter only" kit was released at a later date. After that the rest came with options for fighter or super. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excillon Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I almost bought one of these a year ago. But, I didn't feel I could do it justice, and there was too much other stuff out there. In the end, it's a beautiful kit, but I'm glad I didn't buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
