7/28/06 - I bought this back in the 80s when Macross (no bloody A, B, C, or  D) was new & way cool. It's been in a box, waiting for the day...

It must have had something to do with watching the Macross DVDs. I just had to dig deep into the unbuilts. Worked on the sub-assemblies, did some puttying, sanding, filing.

5/26/2010 - I had my VF-1S kit out for some exercise and figured I might as well see where this was. So, after a brief round of some seam touch up and a dab or two of putty I can load up the airbrush and paint some sub-assemblies.

Euro I gray on the exhaust-feet, knees, intakes, and inside of lower legs; gunmetal on the gun.

7/7/2010 - Like the 1S, I need to gather up the pix from the past couple months.

IMG_5386.JPG (554856 bytes) I used MM dark tan as the overall main color, and a mix of international orange + burnt sienna for the accent color panels. The optics are transparent green over acryl pearl.
