Dr_PepPeR Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Doc, Naah. I dont buy any WW2 stuff. I mean, its great reading about WW2 or watching movies/documentaries about it, but Ive lost interest in building WW2 model subjects since the late 80s. Gosh I thought painting Luftwaffe and Italian camo would be your cup of tea! yo doc la pa bagong pictures ng abrams niyo? looking forward seeing the finished product. Been working on the tracks and wheels sir, in the meantime I've put the decals on. Will post the pics this weekend. Quote Link to comment

Bockscar Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hello fellow modelers, Lils Megamall has new trumpeter models: C-47 Dakota in 1/48 scale and P-51D in 1/32 scale. Just a few that I took a more detailed look. I bought the C-47. Quote Link to comment
Boelcke Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Latest thing off my bench. Its a 1/72 Hasegawa VF-1A Valkyrie from the Macross series. Been wanting to build one for the longest time. I superdetailed the cockpit and canopy, opened up the engine bay and other access panels and made the interior details from scratch. I also dropped the leading and trailing edges and scratch-built the slats. Hope you like it. http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll97/Xtida/xDSC05434.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll97/Xtida/xDSC05418.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll97/Xtida/xDSC05411.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll97/Xtida/xDSC05407.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll97/Xtida/xDSC05400.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll97/Xtida/xDSC05423.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll97/Xtida/xDSC05412.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll97/Xtida/xDSC05440.jpg Here she is beside my 1/72 Hasegawa F-14B: http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll97/Xtida/xDSC05429.jpg Quote Link to comment

The detail work is fantastic! Just one question, though: Does the VF-1's wings really have flaps? Never noticed it in the series. Hmmm. Have to dig up the Macross DVDs. Do you also have the Battroid version from Hasegawa? That would be a great pairing. Quote Link to comment
Boelcke Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Thanks Floppy! Yes, the VF-1 has flaps. I used as reference a scanned instruction sheet for some resin upgrade set for a VF-1 kit, plus 2 cross-sectional schematic drawings I downloaded from the internet. You might be able to come across these schematic drawings too when you surf the web. I dont have the Battroid, though. I thought Id build this one and that may be it. Ang mahal kasi ng Hasegawa Macross series kits. This one cost me P1,350. Quote Link to comment

Ang mahal kasi ng Hasegawa Macross series kits. This one cost me P1,350. Yes I agree it's a fantastic job. I saw some Macross kits in Roel's store but it was a bit too expensive for me. Thanks for the heads up on the 1/48 C-47, Sir Bockscar I think Monogram had one way way back. Got to call Lils! Edited June 20, 2008 by Dr_PepPeR Quote Link to comment
Boelcke Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Thanks Doc! Actually, thats where I got this kit. Btw, Floppy, heres a link to a schematic drawing of the VF-1, showing the flaps in down position: http://www.xs4all.nl/~ptn/images/valkyrie_fighter.gif Quote Link to comment

How long did it take to build? I had to hoard the whole Macross fleet from Special Toys since Hasegawa has a penchant for doing special short production runs only. It takes a long while before they produce again. Same with Fine Molds which is a much smaller company than Hasegawa. Quote Link to comment

Cruzer Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Does anyone know where I can find a huey in 1:350 or 1:400 scale? Or do you know anyone whom I can commission to make one? How about paint jobs.....anyone up for it? I bought 2boxes of helicopters ng Trumpeteer 1:350 but don't have the time to assemble and paint them anymore. http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t317/MackyMakoy/IMG_9551_1.jpg Quote Link to comment
jhei247 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 hey guys... who is also into Warhammer 40k or Fantasy here? Quote Link to comment
Boelcke Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Cruzer, I dont know. Ive seen 1/350 Sea Kings and Seahawks but I havent seen a Huey in that scale. Quote Link to comment
Dr_PepPeR Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Cruzer, I dont know. Ive seen 1/350 Sea Kings and Seahawks but I havent seen a Huey in that scale. Me neither but I guess that's because it doesn't belong in any 1/350 scale ship. Quote Link to comment
