[Valkyrie addict]

I LOVE HASEGAWA!!

[Hoptimus]

You think they will do 1/48 Battroid kits? Probably not but it would be sweet.

[Noyhauser]

I bet they will. Its likely their second most popular seller (by mold) in 72nd... and a logical next step.

[nexxstrait]

I really hope they do!

[Valkyrie addict]

That 1/48 strike valkyrie, just add some photoetched parts and the Club-m Ultimate 1/48 VF-1 will no longer be relevant.

That YF-19 eggplane with FP and fold booster will be a day one purchase for me, I built a VF-1 strike eggplane and it was so fun!

Would love a VF-0S reactive armor in 1/48.....

I wonder if their frontier line will also be 1/48 in the future.

Give them some incentive and buy a lot of their 1/72 Frontier Valks...

This is fantastic news! I've been waiting a long time for this!

[EXO]

Buying!!!

[cool8or]

Funny, I just see it and came to MWF to post it... Nevermind, we are all happy for this: happy 30 anniversary!

I hope to see one day the Macross Zero F-14...

[Chronocidal]

Woo! As ridiculous as this might be.. I almost feel like I should buy four of the strike pack kits, and make a 1/48 skull squad display.

Definitely will buy at least one or two though, I can't wait to see how much detail they cram into the packs.

[electric indigo]

Now who makes a 1/48 launch arm?

[Smut Peddler]

I want a 1/48 VF-11 and YF-21

[peter]

About friggin time, haha!

[Chas]

definitely going to get one of these at first. If Hase doesn't release a strike A or a seperate strike pack then I'll get a few more, just hope they don't wait too long.

[EXO]

You mean the J right?

[Berttt]

Oooh man I have been putting off buying a 1/48 because I was waiting for this release. It's going straight to the top of my build list.

[HWR MKII]

Same reason i havent got one yet. Either full on strike build or nothing.

[Chas]

You mean the J right?

That's what I get for posting with my phone

[Chronocidal]

We probably won't see separate packs at all, just because of the number of unique parts the packs will require. You'd be buying almost half the jet again anyway.

[Jefuemon]

That 1/48 strike valkyrie, just add some photoetched parts and the Club-m Ultimate 1/48 VF-1 will no longer be relevant.

Think that's why someone is trying to unload theirs at a ridiculously low price?

[Wiz13688]

Where are the under wing weapons or do we have to buy a weapons pack? Dec release, I'll just pick it up while I'm there then.

It only took like what? 15 years to top the Club-M strike?

But then again, the Tanmen sculpts feel more VF-1-ey than anything Hasegawa released so I guess for many people the Club-M is still king.

[joscasle]

At last!!!!

IMHO the Club-M is a very nice kit (expensive too), but I don't like at all the landing gear

[Duymon]

Landing gear? Who uses landing gear? Strike valks in flight or bust

[cool8or]

I have the Club-M kit, and I think that THERE HAS TOO MUCH DETAILS TO INCLUIDE IT ALL IN ONLY ONE KIT. So, I have some ideas to take advantage of the better of two versions (Club-M and Hase), and build two kits with parts of both versions. Obviously the parts and proportions are not 100% compatible, but that's my challenge.

So, because of that, I already preordered 1 kit of Hase's 1/48 super/strike parts kit.

[joscasle]

Duymon, I agree with you about the Strike, always in fligt mode, but I never sawa picture a Club-M 1/48 valk is flight mode, all the pics I saw have landing gear , and for my test is to tall, both main and front landing gear, just my opion.

Cool8or: I really can't wait for your step by step build!!!

BTW I alrady pre-order 1 and 1 VF-25 too , will be a very nice XMas!!

I have curious to know how Hasegawa will perform the build of missile launches, it will make such Yamato / Clum-M with full detail or will be to build on the 1/72, I hope it guy like Yamato

I just wish I had a bigger display cabinet.

[MechTech]

There's a 1/32 kit coming?

[JET7]

wish came true!!!

[peter]

There's a 1/32 kit coming?

I bought a 1/24 scale kit not that long ago (though, I haven't touched it yet). I wonder if he ever made strike packs for it, or will plan to?

Think that's why someone is trying to unload theirs at a ridiculously low price?

For 20,000 yen, I bet someone will pick it up.

[Jefuemon]

Some new pics of the 1/48 30th Anniversario.

Tried to get one of those :/ Very jealous!
