Your options are mostly limited until Japan Post kicks fully back into gear, so expect to pay something like $50-60 for DHL or FedEx, if not more.

I used to collect threeA their sister company before they closed shop and became their own thing. I think they're called Underverse now. Got sick of the bad QC issues and ridiculous wait times for them to produce the items they made you pay ahead for. Not sure how Threezero operates. Sounds like they're better.

Congrats on getting one, it's an awesome looking Valk and one probably never to be re-issued! On a side note for you VF-1A Cavalier owners, the light grey on the lower legs... would you say that is a Light Bluish-grey or more a light Cool-grey color similar to the 1/48 Low Vis Navy? Hard to tell as I do not own one... yet. Edited May 20, 2021 by 505thAirborne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the color pallet that I used on mine, originally from Tekering On 4/1/2019 at 10:12 AM, tekering said: Stick to Japanese modeling materials. Having grown up in Canada with Testers, Humbrol and the like, I can tell you that Mr. Color and Tamiya brand paints are much higher quality (and considerably easier to use) than what's readily available in your neck of the woods... Unless you know your way around an airbrush, spray cans and masking tape is the way to go. This is what I managed to achieve this week, without the aid of an airbrush: On 4/1/2019 at 10:59 AM, tekering said: Edited May 20, 2021 by levzloi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
