This is cool @takatoys. Easy custom instead of painting route if it's just for striping. :good: 

Care to share how thick these vinyls are and links where to purchase it? Thanks in advance. :hi:

Go.

Hahaha! :lol: 

I'm just thinking of painting the 25S yellows to red. But I don't have time for it yet so I think this option is kind of fastest way at this point. ;)

The vinyl wrap film is very very thin and flexible. For the heatshield, which is curved, you can apply heat with a hairdryer and and it will mold to the surface without leaving any bubbles. I got the vinyl at a local graphic  shop. Some auto boutiques may sell it.

Love the 11B! 

I wish Arcadia would reissue 11B.. even if I want the 11C more but that I think has realistically lesser chance of being reissued.

I've been looking out for the VF-11B's Super Packs forever; of the Mac+ GNU-Dou trio, the 11B's Super Pack seem the hardest to come by. But I finally scored one recently, and sometimes it's the little stuff that's brings the big smile :lol:

A couple of quick pics..

The VF-1 and its inspiration:

Should have got some better tools before going full-bore on building the Tomcat.  But live and learn.

I know I'm years late to the party but I can't stop staring and admiring (and sometimes swooshing) this thing. Easily top 5 Macross toy overall for me, but now I actually have it on display, it's starting to supplant the YF-19 as my favorite in fighter mode.

Congrats and it is really the sleekest VF. Adding to that is that the design has 3 different engines & booster types incorporated into the whole thing that makes it more amazing.

Thanks. Even with its ultra sleek design, I was surprised by its heft. It feels heavier that it ought to be.

She's a beautiful bird. Much better than the HMR version!

It has butt flaps, but somehow they accentuate the YF-19 having no butt for them :p

And personally think this has the best YF-21 proportions..

Damn now you're making me wish I bought those when I had the chance.
