kensei Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Hi guys. I'm new to the hobby of assembling kits here so I wanted to ask if kits (preferrably variable) exist. VF-11C Thunderbolt Fully Armoured Variant VF-17 any variant VF-19 A/F/S (I know that this exists, but who makes it and is it still available?) VF-22 (any variable kits, not just plain fighter mode) *Maybe M7 Sound Force variants of the VF-11 and 17, 19 as well? Destroids Tomahawk Spartan Phalanx Monster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Major Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Best bet i would say would be search around at HLJ, tmpanime.com or even the valkyrie exchange, and if that fails there is always the "Wanted" thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Leader Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 (edited) SHE made a Full-Armor VF-11C kit, which many consider one of the holy grails of Macross model collecting. Damn near impossible to find (and when you do, prepare to sell your soul to get it) and even more impossible to build. Bandai made (makes) a 1/144 scale VF-17D,VF-11kai MAXL, VF-19kai, and VF-19S kit, these aren't transformable but include a model each for fighter mode and battroid mode. With Tect conversion kits, the 1/144 line can be made into gerwalk mode, add soundforce boosters, and there's even a kit to transform the VF-17D kit into the VF-17kai used by Ray and Veffidas... Check the Macrossworld model section for more details. These kits are very hard to find, but I believe someone (Valkyrie probably) was recasting a few of these. Bandai also made a 1/100 transformable VF-19kai Fire Valkyrie kit, I don't know if a VF-19S kit was ever made or not The only mainstream VF-22 kit out right now is made by Hasegawa and is fighter mode ONLY. There may be a resin kit or two out there for the VF-22, but I do not believe, as of now, that a fully transformable VF-22 kit has been made.

Grayson72 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 (edited) Destroids Tomahawk Spartan Phalanx Monster You can find plenty of Destroid models around 1/72 1/100 1/144 1/200 Pic a scale, FYI the 1/72 scale is the hardest and most expensive ones to find, especially Phalanx and Monster. 1/100 should be readily available, there's even a new monster kit coming out. An excellent sculpt by our very own Gundamhead and produced by SMT models. Oh and you forgot the Defender in your list.

Myersjessee Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 go to the front page of MacrossWorld...click the models link...youll be able to scan through most of the kits your looking for. Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERV Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 bandai made 1/100 transformable vf-19 fire valk and blazer valk, there is a 1/72 transformable resin yf-21(close to vf-22) and it is amazing but very rare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF-22 (any variable kits, not just plain fighter mode) *Maybe M7 Sound Force variants of the VF-11 and 17, 19 as well? Destroids Tomahawk Spartan Phalanx Monster Yes... all 4 of these variable kits exist. I.H.P has made versions of all of them. Studio HalfEye has made just the last 2. As for are they still available... they are if you look hard enough. I just saw this posted in the auction section. http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h9576845 Enjoy...

Renato Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Here's the Bandai 1/44 VF-11, all built-up with the TECT grade-up kit to make the Full Armour Thunderbolt. It's a sweet piece of kit. Also, they're cheaper than I thought they'd be, but they are rare now. I'll see if I can find some myself, too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
