Kelsain Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 While I probably won't be getting this right away, I am looking forward to the instructions to show up on 1999.co.jp. My VF-11 jones has been satiated by the Yamato 1/60 for now, but I'm awaiting Hasegawa's decal placement sheet before I sticker it up.

cwmodels Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Parts for jet nose and cockpit is on a separate sprue. Could mean a 2 seater version is in the planning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I'm going to say this now: DON'T paint the area under the airbrakes white. I'd bet a lot of money that everybody at Hasegawa has only said/done so because of the zillion incorrect model kits in the world of real jet fighters. They were probably trying to be "realistic" and copy the infamous "white airbrake housings" of the F-15 and F-18. Just like most any reference source you find on those jets do. Except that, that's wrong. Real F-15's and F-18's use the same color for the airbrake interiors and housings as the surrounding camoflage. Not white. (the Tornado is often cited as a counter-example, but it too actually uses grey--a pale grey to be sure, that contrasts with the camo---but it's not white) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joscasle Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Looking at the decal sheet picture, all the pictures of the model use number 105, but there is no 105 decal, only 107, maybe there is another smaller one with different numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s001 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 It's great how they included a screen showing M+ scenes, so you can see the VF-11B in action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet a lot of money that everybody at Hasegawa has only said/done so because of the zillion incorrect model kits in the world of real jet fighters. Except that it's not really wrong. There is no VF-11 Thunderbolt, unlike the world of real jet fighters. Details not shown in the movie/series... are open to interpretation!

Penguin Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 But like Schrödinger's cat would it be white or grey if you put it in a box ? No, no... it's both white and grey at the same time until you open it up and look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grayson72 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 What we need now are some good color schemes so every one of these doesn't have to be gray with orange trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and VF-0, VF-1, QF-3000 are white underneath their airbreaks too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

505thAirborne Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) Guess it's time to hit the hobby shop after work on Monday the 20th. Sometimes, I really like living in Japan! You are so lucky to live in Japan, not just for the hobby shops (Food, culture, etc.) but the easy access of Macross & Other Anime related items, such a pain in the rear to get stuff here in the states these days (short of online) and when you do find them they sure seem over priced and a limited selection. When I lived in LA there were a handful of good shops, now living in KS my nearest Anime of any kind store is in Missouri...lame!! So when you walk into that Hobby shop Monday, have a big smile and remember its good to be in Japan!!

Spitfire_BR Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I don't understand why all you're crying so much, try to live on Brazil, we only have unnecessary things like eternal summer, astouningh beaches, gorgeous women but no one single Hasegawa supplier ! Every model i need i must import so it make me wait 2 or even 3 months until the model arrives, it's unfair ! You guys are so lucky...

tetsujin Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 when is the release date? The Hasegawa product page lists an approximate release date of the 18th, but notes that it will be shipped out on the 15th. If everything went according to schedule, then that means Hasegawa has already shipped the kits out. If shops really do receive the kit on the 18th, that's about two and a half days away... I'm optimistic that they'll receive it even sooner than that. But we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
