@Paliodor,

yes indeed, the kit is very detail. Bandai did not scrimp on the details at all; you can see the detail even in the underskirt of the parts. It’s really amazing. Glad you loved the series and it’s accompanying music and songs.

I also read about your recent acquisition of Nyan Tama vocal collection in your post. Hope to see your completed VF25 kit soon too

@eyeshield30,

ain’t too sure of the topcoat portion though yet to complete my VF at the moment after so many months ^^’ And I see you’ve completed your VF25 really well. Good job there!.

So far your Ozma Valkyrie is looking good. I’m quite suprise how detailed this kit is. I can’t wait for final result of your work on this plamo.
Recently I started watching Macross Frontier because Gundam 00 have end up and I wanted to watch some good mecha anime and decided to try a title from Macross universe. I have to say that I like it very much, animation is very good, music made by Yoko Kanno gorgeous (I ordered Nyan Tama vocal collection from it ^^ ) and story good. I also like mecha design from this series and wanted to add to my collection one of the Valkyries from this anime. And so I’m curently thinking about buying 1/72 VF-25F MESSIAH VALKYRIE ALTO CUSTOM . It would be my first plamo in this year (also first non-gundam in my collection) and hope that at the end of this week I will order it from Rainbow10 ^^ .

@eyeshield30, truth to be told, I haven't had any experience nor have I done any application of water-slide decals on my gunpla kit before. (thanks to my slow progress with my paint job which seems to take forever) But I've some resources listed below which should help you adequately with your problems.

Finally, Alto arrived..yay!
So i started to build it right away and realize…there are shit-loads of panel lines and marking.
It’s really frightening me ^^;
one question, this is my first time encountering water decals, how to apply it , Jaques?
