Hey Jefuemon! you working on this yet?!?!?!? LOL

As it hasn't been released yet, no. But I've already got 2 pre-ordered.

Since the middle of September...

Boxart!!!

But... I throught that the kit will be the fast pack parts only, but it seems like the kit will be the complete aircraft.

I really hope the third book of Hidetaka Tenjin... He's the God of Macross illustrations!

But meanwhile, I'll but this kit... Just for the illustration!

For me, just my opinion, the best Hidetaka Tenjin boxarts so far are:

#1 1/48 Strike/Super VF-1 (the new one)

#2 1/72 VF-1B (Just amazing)

#3 1/48 VF-1 J/A

#4 1/48 VF-19

#5 1/72 VF-1 Strike (first version)

Amazing box art!

[Jefuemon]

My favorite was the Black Aces box art (that's why I built my launch-arm kit the way I did). I think that's now my #2.

[electric indigo]

Hobbysearch has even bigger pics of the kit now (no box art yet, though):

Is it possible to see the FP interiors with this kit?

[Dobber]

Holy crap! The best box art yet! Simply amazing.

It seems like there are not interior details on this kit... That's why the Club-M Ultimate Detail Valkyrie is still the king!!

And about the missiles, I'm pretty sure that we will see a missile kit from Hasegawa in one or two years max...

I agree. The Black Aces box art is numero uno but this new box art is an easy number 2 for me.

[GMK]

Any tips where I could find both the Black Aces & this one in hi-res?

[Valkyrie addict]

So gonna get this! For me 1/72 always felt too small and I never felt good enough to built and ruin a Club-M 1/48 ultimate detail kit.

Here's the Black Aces:

Thanks Dan - I hope you're well.

Yeah, Black Aces box art is really nice!!!. But I like more the new one, colors are move vivid!!! The orange planet (Mars or maybe Jupiter I believe) looks amazing as background!!

[Reïvaj]

I believe it's Titan, the largest moon of Saturn.

[joscasle]

I believe it's Titan, the largest moon of Saturn.

You are correct!!!

[Jefuemon]

According to Amazon Japan, the Super/Strike will be released on December 20th.

[big F]

Awe crap now I'm gonna have to buy one...

[mslz22]

Looks like my first 3 are in the processing for shipping phase at HLJ, fingers crossed that means they are in.

mike

[joscasle]

same for me!!!

[Cesar Enrique]

I just received HLJ payment request for my 2 1/48 strike valks kits, I should have ordered 3....or 4, anyway, let´s hope they arrive soon, can´t wait to "molest" the kits with my fingers LOL.

I hope haseagwa releases 1/48 VF-1 battroid or VF-4 very soon.

[GMK]

Mine's shipping. Instructions are up on HobbySearch

[Jefuemon]

I should have mine delivered on Saturday.

Thing is, I won't be home until Monday....

[cool8or]

Mine is in HLJ Warehouse. To me, next 1/48 Hase logical move is a missile set, and I hope with a couple TV version pilots, may be for 2014's xmas. After that, I don't know, but nothing before 2 years.

In 1/72, I think that the best choice could be a VF-4, and after that, a VF-171. I'm convinced that a VF-4 from Hasegawa will be a Hit!

And I don't see many chances to see some battroids from Hasewaga, sincerely.

[joscasle]

wow the decal sheet is really big!! all 4 schemas complete!!! plus some "aditional" decals!! Its great that Hasegawa improve their decals since 2009/2010!!!

[mslz22]

Looking at the instructions i am so glad they made that plate detail on the top of the boosters a separate part, will make sanding so much easier.

yep! great improvment. also look at step #22, two big improvements there too, the front part of the missile launchers and the small detail at the side, no need of a mask anymore!!!

If Hase packaged their TV pilot, seat & cockpit from the VF-1J/A kit with missiles I'd be very happy.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I hope you're wrong about the battroid prediction!

[joscasle]

I agree with Cool8tor, next move for Hasegawa need to be VF-4, for sure they will release a couple of more VF-25 (diferent versions), but next new mold need to be VF-4 (every one want at least 2 lol)

I hope they release a TV version of the VF-1 Super in 1/48 (Max blue will be great)
