RedFlag Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Hi everyone, Just finished my Hasesgawa 72scale VF-1J in "Black Aces" livery and thot i share the joy. I did this almost straight out of box, minus some minor touch up here and there. Painting wise was also pretty straight forward as well, with pre-shading and followed by base colors. As i kinda like the brightly colored markings as it is, i decided to do it almost void of weathering and coated semi-gloss finishing, just to give it that eye candy feel. It feels good to be able to finally finish something, and a subject tat actually didn't involve any research.. . I'll let the pictures do the talking. Feedback/ comment welcome please. Cheers Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi sharkey, Here's a link : Macross Black Aces Do note the weapons, as in all Hasegawa aircraft kits, are sold separately... yah, i know, it sucks... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 It´s the gawa way .... Gorgeous VF-1, Chris! Didn´t know you´re into macross. I gotta get me the 1/48th scale VF-1 one of these days..... Inspiring work dude! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spejic Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 This is a very impressively finished model of a deceptively difficult kit. I got VF-1 Strike Valkyrie and a VE-1 when they first came out and they are still waiting until I think my modeling skill is good enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Spejic, i can't agree with u more. it is indeed a kit tat isn't so straight forward. Strangely though, i went on to work on my second kit right after this one.. and guess wat? it's the VE-1...LOL Stay tuned Quote Link to post Share on other sites
