I'm a Brazilian businessman who, during his childhood, built some injection kits from Revell. After losing contact with model kits (15 years passed) I've got in front of this kit that I present in the pictures. The kit is an Valkyrie VF-1S from Macross "do you remember love?" (for you from US the name may be Robotech) a Japanese anime from the 80's. I bought it from Hobby Link Japan and took about two weeks until I finally put my hands on it. The kit is really fantastic, suberb details and fine attachment. For me (a not experienced kit modeler) assembly took about a week and half every night (about 4 hours per day). I painted it with acrylic ink and glued with a not-so-good glue ... next time i'll use loctite super bonder. |

From the pictures taken (taken with an FujiFilm FinePix S5000) you can see that I must work hard to imprrove my modeler skills. Image: Left/rear view Image: Closeup: front/left Image: Right/rear Image: Cockpit Image: Left front Image: Starboard side, overall |
