She's looking beautiful Vinny. Just like she rolled out of the New Edwards hanger this morning

Lookin sweet Vin! 

I just started mine today.  Going together pretty well, no major glitches.  It fits as well as any other 72nd Hase kit I've built, which is pretty impressive!  I've made it a single-seater by blanking off the back seat area with a turtle deck and have tweaked the cockpit a little bit.  I forgot how tiny 72nd is!

Should get some pics up either today or tomorrow.

Ok, so its been a couple weeks.  I finally got around to starting my VF-19.  Got her together, filled and primed.  VERY nice kit overall.  I'm leaving off the exhausts until the whole paint job is done.  Gonna actually spray her camo today.  Hope you guys like her!  (Oh, and Trigger's already pointed out the overspray on the cockpit.  Gonna take care of that too!)

Hey Cobra, I hate to do this to you (and me) but I did something wrong...I hate to admit it...I was really bummed out about it (for about a week)....so prepare yourself...

My YF-19's wings are on backwards...and so are yours. It's not a huge issue. I didn't notice it until I started putting on the decals, and the panels lines didn't match. Boohoo [BH] By that time it was way too late to switch 'em cuz the big black wing decals were already micro-sol'd on.

...but, I got over it. Smile [:)]

My man-cave is out-of order at the moment while the interior of my 1:1 house is being refinished. I'm down, but not out!

is this GB still going?  I'm in the process of unpacking after a move so I'll try to get up and running soon.  If I remember correctly, I'm almost done with my Tactical Pod for this GB.  I'll try to post some pics soon.

Back again. Since I've lost one of the leg sub-assemblies to my VF-1 Battroid, I've started my 1/72 VF-4 resin kit. I plan to finish it as a 'Skull One' squadron leader.



I've got a bit of a gap in height between the nose cone piece and the fuselage piece. I'm thinking of trying to wrap a styrene strip around the upper fuselage half of the join an blending in to the rest of the fuselage through sanding and putty.

I have the Club-M VF-4... It's a really nice looking ship. The decals aren't exactly right on mine (i just pilfered my pile of Hasegawa decals).

I've got to post more images of mine. I'm woirking on the engine pods with filling and sanding. Yours came out great. How did you mount it? It looks like you have an acrylic rod in the back. How does it attach to the model?

My VF-19's subassemblies are ready to paint, but I still have no idea what color scheme to finish my VF-22 in. The VF-0, decaling is incomplete.

Hi everyone! my name is Marcelo, I'm new to this forum but I've been part of the MotoGP group build for a few months now.

I'm a huge fan of Robotech and I was wondering if you could tell me which brand is the "Tamiya" of Robotech kits. I know Bandai and Hasegawa but I don't know how detailed or big they are.

Also, who has the most kits available, all Valkyre generations, Batroids and stuff.

Any other information will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you,
