Introduction Scale 1/72 Maker Hasegawa Completed 05/14/06 Retail 2800yen YF-19 is Macross Plus’ protagonist Isamu’s ride. The forward wings gives it a unique look, and is one of Kawamori’s best designs. Hasegawa did justice to the design, again came up with the best rendition of this turkey.

Macross Zero SV-51 gamma (Nora)
She’s been sitting on the floor, waiting for decaling… poor Nora. So I took a deep breath and finished her Anti-U.N. SV-51 gamma. Due to the pain involved I’ll classify this as a “never again” project 😉 With this kit I’m also testing a simple gallery I wrote – should’ve done this in the beginning… Continue reading Macross Zero SV-51 gamma (Nora)

Sword Strike
Introduction Scale 1/100 Maker Bandai Completed 04/2006 Retail 4200yen I like the Sword Striker pack a lot, its asymmetry is cool and the concept is just neat.

Scopedog Turbo Custom
4891 Introduction Scale 1/24 Maker Wave Completed 12/16/00 Retail 5800 Of all the scopedog variants, I like the turbo custom (STTC) the best.

Strike Dog
3993 Introduction Scale 1/24 Maker Max Factory Completed 9/18/01 Retail 6800yen Strikedog is the personal AT of da brat Ypsilon.
