Sturmbock Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I remember watching the Macross anime on TV as a kid, back in the eightees! Really loved the series!

I watched every part of Macross: Zero, Plus, Frontier, DYRL and I'm still big fan of it VF-0S Phoenix from Macross Zero was basically a modified Tomcat, I think You'll like it Meanwhile, I managed to make a working actuator for airbrake. Hinges are only problem now. Due to curvature of fuselage I cannot make'em in place, where manufacturer placed them. Hinges have to be longer and closer to each other. Thankfully, I'm so happy after whole airbrake work that I'll redo it with pleasure chukw, Landrotten Highlander, BloorwestSiR and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiya Rubber Black as a base and Neutral Gray on top. Then UNI Posca waterpaint markers for all buttons, knobs etc...Their stiff point is more controlable than paintbrush and they're available in few sizes: BloorwestSiR and Shoggz 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
