JLYC Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 I'm a newbie...just wanna say hi!! Are there any custom decals available for 1/60 scale VF-1? I've seen many places selling decals for 1/48 versions but none for the 1/60. I'm wondering if the decals for the 1/72 Hasegawa(sp?) model kits would work on the 1/60? Also, does anyone have a side by side comparison of the 1/60 vs 1/48? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skull Leader Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Look in the "toys" section of Macrossworld (no, not the "toys" section of the forum) and you'll find plenty of comparison pictures between the 1/60 and the 1/48. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLYC Posted May 16, 2004 Author Share Posted May 16, 2004 hello: I've thought about getting either a 1/48 too, but I think at this point 1/60 suits me better for the following reasons: 1. I already have a VF-19 and want the other Valk to be sort of the same scale 2. With the price difference (I really want the FP with the valk), I can get another model kit, DVD's or the VF-O that's coming out. The 1/60 is sweet, but would has too much opportunity cost for me. Anyway this is a great forum- I'm really enjoying it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewilen Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 (edited) If you're just going to get one Valk, I'd recommend getting a 1/48. My collection is focused on 1/60 scale Macross toys, but I'm glad I have a 1/48. You can see a lot of pics at The Valkyrie Factory. You can also look at http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/toys/1...comparisons.htm Basically, the 1/48 is more posable and more stable in any pose. Not to mention better detail. I collect 1/60's because they offer a greater range of TV styles, they're cheaper, and they take up less space. Also, I'm not too crazy about the 1/48 VF-1J head--but that is a small nitpick. If you just want any 1/48, I think the Max 1A is often available for well under $100. Edited May 17, 2004 by ewilen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
