Hi, I'm new around here and I'd just like to share a little project I did a while ago. I got one of those "no-paint un-built" 1/60 Valkyrie kit and built it up like Jet fire. There's a little more about it here too
looks cool. if you wanted to you could add more for jetfire. i think his leg fin colors could be swapped the other way black then red and his eye could be red.
That is interesting, like the sound of the kits, it would be nice if there were more available, is it a Ban Dai thing? Looks great!
It was made by Yamato, it was one of their web exclusives. Hobby-Link had it on their site for a while but now it's gone. It was a great idea, I would love to see more companies do this.
Great work. I'm actually surprised that there aren't more of these made with the unpainted 1/60 available.
Yeah I know, it's like almost no one got the kit. Not even the guys on Macross-world talked much about it.
I think one of the key things is that the stickers that come with it are pretty much the ones that are already on the hero VF-1s. If they had other colors that weren't already used I would've bought one.
The stickers kinda sucked too, they had a thick transparent boarder around them that needed to be trimmed off. The chest labels didn't really fit all that nicely either. I used a lot of the little detail labels, but I did some custom paint for the chest and shoulders.
This looks fantastic, super-clean! Nice job. Is there a red panel that covers the cockpit glass in bot mode?
yeah, it's battroid mode heat-shield, I didn't know what color to make it so I went with red. Made for a nice place to put the autobot symbol.
Yeah man, I love that WST Jetfire you made! Your has a fast-pack too! Those Toynami 1/100 are rather nice toys. You get a lot of toy for your money.
he's awesome. If I ever revisit Jetfire, I want to go this route. Only thing I don't dig on the VF-1S is the hands. How much do these cost, by the way?
