no3Ljm Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 All we need to recreate this are 1/20 scale Messiah arms and torso. Almost there.

electric indigo Posted August 19, 2021 Posted August 19, 2021 Here's a very comprehensive interview with the developers of the kit, talking about Kawamori's input, Hidetaka Tenjin designing the markings, making a seamless bubble canopy, and future VF-31 and YF-29 releases: https://hobby.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/interview/1343913.html
Knight26 Posted December 3, 2021 Posted December 3, 2021 I actually like the idea of these, yes a full valk would be cooler, but as av-nut having just the nose and cockpit is pretty cool.
TMBounty_Hunter Posted December 4, 2021 Author Posted December 4, 2021 https://nippper.com/2021/11/44147/ Nice big review pics

The rest of the interior is blank and there is nothing for detailing on the 1-piece canopy. Guess that leave work for us modelers but, still a bit annoying given the cost of the kit.
TMBounty_Hunter Posted December 25, 2021 Author Posted December 25, 2021 It's out and more pix are coming
Rock Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 It's interesting how the canopy tint's application can make the finished build's feel swing towards model kit or a more toy-like appearance. Diorama concept?
Rock Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 A good preview of how the Plamax Mirage might fit in her VF-31. *1/20 Minimum Factory Mirage shown has Sheryl's head swapped on*
TMBounty_Hunter Posted January 25, 2022 Author Posted January 25, 2022 YF-29 up for pre-order in two flavors
kajnrig Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 Am I just crazy, or are the noses a bit short and stubby? Maybe the lack of the rest of the airframe just throws it off, but I could swear these should be longer than they are.
Big s Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 I think it’s just lack of perspective since they are only a portion of the plane, but they may be a bit girthy. On another note, it is interesting to see these on U.S. sites as well

I used a couple of photos from @jenius' Anymoon site to compare it with those promo pics. Hope that's ok, Jenius.
Rock Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) VF-31's are instock! Pre-colored too! Edited March 10, 2022 by Rock
Sanity is Optional Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 Wow, that actually made me slightly interested in these. Not having to paint on all that striping is pretty huge.

Not having to paint on all that striping is pretty huge. Yep full color and painted. Mine has defects and even has scratches on the backsides where injection marks are. Should hide with topcoating though if you don't plan to paint.
no3Ljm Posted May 11, 2022 Posted May 11, 2022 A Twitter modeller found a way on adding an arm to open and close the canopy.
KOG Water Dragon Posted May 11, 2022 Posted May 11, 2022 So that's all the VF-25s now? I guess we can assume they will complete the VF-31 series as well...
Shawn Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 I missed something...when did Max become 6'2 and 25 years old again..wouldn't he be something like 60 or 70 something years old? I don't track the timelines that close past Macross Plus LOL
Duymon Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 just chalk it up to protoculture. I hope I look that good at 70
