[Checkmate]

Guys, if you get the 30th anniversary kit please, please save the manual for me. : ) I have a spare 1:48 and I think i'll just order the decals to save money. : )

Looks like it was somewhat overshadowed by the VF-25 next to it :-/

On Amazon Japan, they're showing a release date of December 20th.

Already have 2 preordered.

[GMK]

So, what can I build of my stock VF-1A while I wait for the Strike/Super kit to come out?

[MechTech]

Somebody needs to tell them there's no school like the old school! I think the 1/48th Strike is going to look great. - MT

Wow it only took what? 15 Years for Hasegawa to make one? The last 1/48 was that amazing resin kit back in the day...

Where can you order just the decals?

Thanks,

Steve

Where can you order just the decals?

You need the coupon off of the original instruction sheet, and someone who lives in Japan who's willing to order them for you.

Someone needs to tell Hasegawa they need to make a VF-11 Battroid in 1/72 - and then an Armored version.

I just realized something looking at the facebook post of the tree breakdown, is this for the fastpacks only? Meaning you need the separate VF-1 kit in addition to these? The reason i ask is that the breakdown of the sprue trees shows the fastpacks and the leg parts you would need to "mod" a standard kit.

I know it may just be that they are showing just the new stuff, but also thinking that would a full super/strike kit be only $12-$15 more than than a full standard kit? Meaning full Vf-1 kit is about $32 full with fastpacks about $45?

I know may just be having a moment of panic but thought someone who has translated the text may know for sure.

thanks

I was kind of wondering this too, TBH. However, I don't think they released an S kit yet to use the strike packs with.....unless the just include the S head with the packs.....if it is a packs only kit.

Hey where is these post, can't find it anywhere.

Thanks

That's a good point, well made. But 45 quid for just the FAST packs? That is pretty steep. Plus I have not seen it advertised any where that the base kit is needed.

I guess we will have to wait for the box art etc to tell for sure. That's right Hasegawa, Im looking at you.

Hasegawa does not want to change the runners of their existing 1:48 Valkyrie and so they include the different leg parts in the runners for the FAST packs. They do that in other aircraft kits all the time.

Exactly, they aren't going to make new metal molds for the Vf-1S. Just new mold for the Fastpacks. Plus 6 months from now they can sell the fastbacks separately.

I read in a translated article that the fastback armor for the 1/48 is the 1/72 armor rescaled so not much work had to be done making the armor for the 1/48. Anyone else read this (forgot where I read it)?

Mmm I am pretty sure that there is more than just scaling up the 72nd scale parts. The breakdown is different and from the CAD it look more detailed.

[GMK]

They've also changed the vertical stabiliser configuration from the 1/72 scale kits - no mid-point fold.

Amen. The '48 looks great but unfortunately I've more than committed myself to '72nd. I'm really happy though, for all you guys getting so excited about this release. It does look a lot nicer in the larger scale.

[JET7]

they should have bundled the weapons missles..etc....bummer..

Looks great in a larger scale - where did you find the pic?
