otihconip Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I have been a member for I believe over 10 years. I don't post much, but this I believe is a worthy and noble cause. Jasmine Models is running low on Stock for these Photo Etched parts. Seems like Macross World might be the best source for JM in regards to repeat customers. Thus I would like to petition the reissue of the following items (most importantly parts for VF in 1/72 and 1/48 scale) Because this is probably the only way that Newca will seriously consider making another batch, if you read this please reply and add your Name to the list and how many you are REALISTICALLY interested in. (see below) I am definitely interested!

sbantonelli Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I might join in, but how difficult are the photoetched parts to work with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefuemon Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I might join in, but how difficult are the photoetched parts to work with? Not that difficult, if you're patient. My VF-1J kai build was the first time I used this set, and I think it came out pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Unfortunately I’ve not a lot of free time for modeling but I’m an enthusiast modeler and a great fan of Macross saga. In the case Jasmine Models should reissue these sets, I’m sure I’ll buy at least: 5 X 272003 VALKRIE cockpit 5 X 272004 VF-1 Intaker and Nozzle I think the quality of these two sets are remarkable and able to ameliorate your model as the Hasegawa’s PE set can not do.

otihconip Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 Yes Andrea! Thats what I am talking about! Saw your work by the way and it looks awesome. Hopefully I can finish some of mine soon too and see what you think. So far it seems that very few of us are really interested though. Newca is not really motivated to me more new ones, so at least a few more would have to show interest. Thanks for the Support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otihconip Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Spitfire_BR you rock!!!! I knew I couldn't be the only one. And LOL....I was assuming that many of us had stashes just like that Jefuemon!!!! Though unlike me you are already built quite a lot of kits, several of them with the mentioned PE parts. Nice Work Jefuemon! If you are just now reading this please support us in this petition. I have not yet brought this petition to Newca's attention as I thought it would have a better impact once there were at least a good number of people who were interested. Thank you again to those of you supporting this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NZEOD Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Just waiting for a replay to a message I left on the guys Facebook page. Its the only place I can find that he's still active on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylwell Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I can design them but it's bit of an outlay to get started in this, usually a minimum of $600 for the photoetch. I talked with Paul @ Para and he doesn't have an interest in the subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF-1A Grunt Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) I may be too late, but I hope this idea isn't completely dead in the water. I just came across information about these PE kits while searching online for other detail parts. These look like fantastic details that I would hate to see disappear from the market. I'd commit to purchasing the following kits: 2 X 248002 VF-1A/J Valkyrie 1 X 248003 VF-1S/A Valkyrie 3 X 248004 PE Intake cover parts for 1/48 VF-1 6 X 272003 VF-1 Cockpit 6 X 272004 VF-1 Intake and Nozzle I'd definitely come back in the future for additional kits if they would put them into production again. Any recent word from Jasmine? I'm going to send them a note to add my name to the list of potential customers.

VF-1A Grunt Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I heard back from Jasmine just a few hours after I emailed them. He basically said that he will let me know if he produces them again in the future. I'd strongly recommend that all of you email him to express your interest in these sets and try to encourage them to produce them again.
