    1/72 Macross YF-19 Demonstrator

    I only watched the animation on telly as a teen, they did not sell the toys locally that I was aware of.

    1/72 Macross YF-19 Demonstrator

    Yes, a beast in 1/72 as it is piloted by a gigantic Zentradi. In Mechwarrior/BattleTech its called the Marauder.

    Yeah, quite so. Wait until I build the Glaug assault pod, now that is pretty menacing.

    1/72 Macross YF-19 Demonstrator

    Onwards and upwards! Some more base coat (mr color surfacer) and dry fitting... Shades of Su-47! I'm pretty convinced the design is loosely based on the Su-47, but the final colour is not black so the remblence will end there. Till next time!🫡

    1/72 Macross YF-19 Demonstrator

    Started putting down some undercoat using mr color sufacer. Overall very happy with the progress, the next photo of the top half of the fuselage, reminded me of the SU-47 Berkut. Onwards and upwards, thanks for looking. Till next time!🫡

    1:72 VT-1 Super Ostrich

    There is also the battroid version, which I know sounds like a terrible hemorrhoid condition but is actually the "transformed" mech version of the Valkyrie. This one was build a while ago, the VF-1. Plenty fun still to be had! Till later!🫡

    "Eagle Eye" matey! Spot on, there is a bit missing there as I am painting it separately before glueing it in place.

    1/72 Macross YF-19 Demonstrator

    Another Macross build, this time another "aircraft" as I had enjoyed the Super Ostrich so much. This is an inverted wing layout, similar to the Grumman XP-29 and the Soviet SU-47 Bekut. An interesting variant. Anyhow, I have started with the sub-assemblies. and doing a bit of dry fit. Then...

    1:72 VT-1 Super Ostrich

    Yeah, the tail is folded over like with Gerwalk config. You can see that clearly in the 1st pic but the tail fins are not folded flat. This does create a "short" layout with what appears to be the booster bells rotating on their mounts. An unusual config, but hey, its Sci-Fi and looks dead...

    This build is about done!🥳 Have a gander, there maybe some additional weathering to consider, but this is it! Thanks for looking, now onto my next project.... not sure what it is yet. Till later!🫡

    Macross / Robotech 1/72 VT-1 Super Ostrich

    I'm steaming along doing the pin wash/weathering and assembling the kit sequentially. Vector thrust nacelles ready for glueing. Vacelles fitted and looking good. Radar unit fitted. Main engines and undercarraige clamped. Nearly there, just a few items and some addition weathering and we...

    I'm doing the pinwash weathering and have started putting the Super Ostrich together and it is taking shape. I'm definitely liking what I am seeing. Till later.🫡

    Macross / Robotech 1/72 VT-1 Super Ostrich

    It's a great anime sci-fi dating back from the '80's with a chequered history . This also spawned the design for numerouse mechs used in the Battletech/Battlemech & Mechwarrior universes. What is there not to love? Wait till you see some off the other craft.

    The mojo has returned! Started with pin wash using AK products......VERY NICE!!:love: Ususally I use oils, but this time I decided a different path, and I like what I am seeing. The boosters Top of the wings Bottom of the wings Tools of the trade. Thanks for taking a look. Till next time.

    Macross / Robotech 1/72 VT-1 Super Ostrich

    Yeah, I had to glue them all together for strength and rigidity. A necessary evil.😈 Started repairing my sanding on the boosters and put a base coat on a number of other parts. Had resort to creative masking to get the colour down. Thinks are moving forward and the sub-assemblies are coming...

    Macross / Robotech 1/72 VT-1 Super Ostrich

    I have been eagerly beavering away masking and painting. When putting the boosters together they need a bit of sanding I tried some new to fill the gaps and joints, Mr Dissolved .Putty. I think it works, I will only be able to tell when I touch up the paintwork. Onto the engine nacelles and...

    Hi all, a quick thanks for all the likes and kind comments. With regards to the painting, thank you again. I wanted to avoid it looking like the cartoon and am trying to achieve as Andy T mention, a "lived-in look". Till the next update,🫡
