it's garbage that the tip dries out very fast and doesn't really have much ink in it. and if you use it on painted surface it clogs right away.

for rm11 you are better off with the cheaper Sakura Pigma or Copic. MPH, Jusco etc starting to stock Pigmas.

if you are using on bare plastic without any sort of coating then it's ok. i'm talking about those extra fine ones which only come in Black/Dark Grey or Brown.

it's also not as Ultra Thin as you think.

if you want higher end pen you can get the Copic SP which is customizable with exchangeable parts it's Silver normal version is black.

noted. all valid points.
agree on the clogging on painted builds.

for purpose of the initial question thou, i assume he is panel lining macross ( most likely unpainted and mainly white.)

but yes all very good valid points. Thanks!.

1st time owning Hi metal r kits seem this ver valkyrie vf-2ss is more superior than predecessor vf-1. Plus I love this series valkyrie due to unique design like vf 4

New to the macross world, been wanting to collect back then but not willing to spend on them

Just a couple of question:
- In DX Chogokin line, is most part make of diecast or only the innerframe structure? 
- The Bandai plastic model, does it work similar to the DX chogokin in term of transformation?  And is it easily loose and break as the transformation is rather complex.
- What are the recommended local shop to get kits from (so far i only know of XL, Toypanic and Crux)

as a starter, i wonder should i get the DX Frontier or Delta figure, I like the delta plane design but dislike the blue layout, was thinking to preorder the movie version which is grey in general

Any experience of buying it via Amiami, will the shipment make it more expensive than buying locally?

Phoenix R/C add-on:  MACROSS DELTA YF-31 Siegfried
Hey Macross fan, i've return to show my new 3D model build for my R/C simulator add-on.  Being a fan of Macross since the 80's to present day i decided to make something interesting so i could play and fly around in virtual world than having static model.  Originally wanted to build VF-1S for Phoenix R/C simulator but decided to go for VF-31 Siegfried since it have more sensible aerofoil design for logical lift off the ground during the flight.  Took 7 days to build the 3d meshes using Z-modeler tools, adding functional flight control, script and texturing work and finally now is beta testing inside the computer. Will be release at my website soon for those who have PHOENIX R/C simulator.

Will inform the release in this week at my website https://www.supermotoxl.com
Right now need to fix the landing gear door bay, slightly twitched  in simulator.

Time for the decals, hehe!

haha My feeling Micheal bay is more suitable for this due to mostly macross is micro missile spamming and who need plot when they do all is singing like Macross Delta. 

Has anyone assembled the Bandai Variable Valkyrie. I have had it for years but never assembled it. Feel intimidated by all the small parts and so on.

Thanks for the input and heads up on the weak support links. I dont intend to play with is also. Just want to build it and transform it once to display.

Must do that classic pose from the original cartoon.

Alamak.... I was just thiking of getting the same make but the Rick Hunter plane. I have the Roy Fokker version now. Sigh.....should have bought both the last time.
