I've got one of this too ... looks very stubby compared to the box art.

Are you going to make the legs longer and add more details?

Hi,

This one is gonna be OOB.. so no modificaition added...

Might I ask where you guys acquired these kits? I loved the destroids and they are almost impossible to find nowadays. Hasegawa tends to focus on Valkryies and Bandai hasnt produced any Macross kits for years.

Hi Kindredd,

I like the destroid too, Got this in Taiwan last month, for around RM 20...

I also got the Spartan too.............. :D

yah man... to ease the pain of seam fighting, especially on the legs, First I scrub the seam with the back of my N0. 11 blade, then I send it smooth, lastly I cover the whole surface by poking on the diluted Timaya putty, now this served as 2 purpose, first to cover the seam and as a bonus, it gave a sand casting like texture.... .


Kuman,
this is 1/100 scale, I'm looking for the 1/72 one to match my Hasegawa VF-1.. if you want, I can KIV for u for this kit on my next trip (Don't know when...)..

..splendid.. :D if the cost still the same laa..

yea.. a 1/72 would be a nice companion to the VF-1 of yours... hmm i think i also have a VF-1s somewhere.. :D .. if only someone make it in a Gerwalk mode.. :D

kuman..

Where the heck you got those toys man. and what is the scale, I recommend you to repaint those toys.

The exhaust/heatsink was a separate piece, so I paint it separately... :D


OK, I think the designation in the in yourbox back cover is Americanized Robotech one.

The Spartan I have is label as Gladiator in your box. I plan to build it in the Macross GB later...

kuman - August 14, 2007 06:28 AM (GMT)
:D :D

no wonder la the heatsink look good.. :D

i'm not sure of the scale laa.. and if i got time i'm going to repaint it. :D

ehh got Macross GB? when is it?
