Aigore Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Happy New year guys 😄 I´ll end this year with another sneak build... You know I like building Scifi, mostly Star Wars but sometimes I dabble with the anime Macross. This is a VF-J Valkyrie Varitech Fighter in 1/48th scale from Hasegawa. I built it OOB but decided for a paintjob of my own. I went with a TPS-ish rugged finish. Why? Because I love it! 😛 well here ya go guys 😄 More in part 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spejic Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 That's a really nice build. I don't think there is a wrong way to paint a VF-1, but your scheme is particularly fitting and functional. I really like the shading you did in the wheel bays and the pilot figure is aces. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanx spejic 😄 thought it was fun to step away from cartoonish finishes on macross kits and try on a more realistic looking finish 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thadeus Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Nice one. Like the dirty finish. Didn't know there was a 1/48 version. How was the build? I've red the 72 scale one is a pain... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
