Thank you for the video, the subtitles really help out a lot. I recently started branching out into non-Gundam model kits, and after watching Do You Remember Love, I really wanted a Valkyrie model, but I didn't realize all this extra work was needed lol. Once I get my kit, I will follow your video and hope to make my model look as good as yours
Thanks! Just keep in mind my video is kind of a “summary” and I cut out stuff I thought is not important or boring to watch 😅 and even then it’s still a pretty long video. My point is when you’re doing your kit in the future, don’t be discouraged by the amount of work presented to you and just keep at it one piece at a time. I’ve been there too 😁 and if I can do it then you can as well. Good luck with your kit! 👍
Coincidentally, this specific kit was from someone’s backlog that he bought at first release back in 2004. The receipt was still in the box when I got it off him 🤣
I just realized where you're from when I see "LEM putih FOX".... 😂😂 Didn't read your youtube description before ... Great step by step build! Beautiful works!
That is great work. I'm really going to have to take the plunge and try this kit. I just finished the IMAI 1/72nd VF-1S and the seams were a bit of a nightmare. One still cracked open during final assembly and I could have sworn I got a good bead of glue in there. For the arms (once assembled), it's hard to sand the inside seam - in those cases, I use very thin plastic card and glue that over the top - looks much better in hard to sand places that are still quite visible.
Oh man, imaii is way older than this i think 😅 Bandai did bought some of their molds and repackaged+rereleased some of em though. You should give Hasegawa kits a try 😁 You’ll do fine I’m sure
@@casualplamo Just ordered a Strike Valkyrie. I had doubles of the older IMAI kits so I decided to make some of them. Started by making the VT-1D, then made some minor modifications on the VF-1A and VF-1S. But there are some very obvious scaling issues, but as you point out, the IMAI kits are old. 😆
Nope, B16 is installed. Though it’s painted grey, so it might not show properly unless the angle is right or if zoomed in. There might be some pics in my IG from other angles that you can check out. Or I could always post one with it visible(I might not have posted all of the pics that I have in IG)
Very very nice. I am currently building the Regult. Was the liquid mask by Mister Hobby and did you have to use Acrylic paint because of it or is their regular paints fine?
Yes I used the Mr hobby brand liquid masking. There are two kinds. Orange bottle and teal bottle. Orange bottle has ammonia in it, so it can’t be used over Waterbased paints. Teal bottle is Waterbased, and is safe for all paints. It can also be thinned by water and applied with a paintbrush as it will wash away with water. I used lacquer paints so my paint layer are safe.
Every time I built one of these I always ended up getting the lower leg part on backwards so the black and yellow control surfaces pointed to the rear. It was always a pain to get the upper leg and feet off again to re-assemble
Thanks for share the video. What kind or paint needs this model? Could you share the list with name of colors that you used? Thanks a lot and my best regards
The paints I used are the ones listed in the color guide of the kit’s manual. So you can check there for the complete list. Most of them are from Mr. Color brand. They’re lacquer paints.
Thanks! Yea they are so thin and fragile, they disintegrates easily. Which is why I painted most of the blacks and yellows instead of using the decals. I don’t know if it’s because of the age(mine is from 2004) or not though mine hasn’t yellowed much. I’ve seen it happened to jp builders as well, but I don’t know know the age of their kit 😅.
34:09 im new to this so i was wondering how did you go about making the green part of the head since it didn't come with a piece for it? unless it did and i missed something. Any type of fluorescent paint?
The head visor? Yes its included in the kit as a colorless clear piece. I used clear fluorescent green on it. You could use any other clear paints if you want.
@@casualplamo dope, my first kit ever is arriving soon, its the VF-1A; i was wondering how that was done. Spectacular work on the VF-1S, i hope to achieve such quality one day.
I think they only made battroid kits from the SDF macross series. Not sure why, but they only made fighters for the other series. Not even gerwalk modes are made I think 🤔
Haha yea scale model kits are like that 😅 These kits are not like gunpla kits which are designed to be very easy to build and doesn’t require paint(most of the time) or glue.
does this one requite a lot of work? i'm looking to get into the macross series soon. i have built plenty of gundams straight out of the box. do you recommend i just get the new macross kits that are prepainted? thanks in advance
@kidrobot. The amount of work needed can be seen from the video 😅 You will need to be familiar with painting and glueing kits to be able to build it. AFAIK there are no new pre painted macross model kits
@@casualplamo why does life have to be so hard?? 😰 well thank you for the information! and iirc the new bandai macross kits are about 95% color accurate, although i may be wrong
Great work, i have the same kit and i follow you tutorial for the assamble and paint. I like the color mix for the super parts. What paint use for the clear parts? I thinking to apply vitral paints but i don't know if mess the crystal clear parts.
Thank you 🙏 For the clear parts I used Gaianotes fluorescent lacquer paints. Their fluorescent paints are clear, so it works nicely on the kits colorless clear parts.
I used oyumaru, but you can also use blue stuff. In my next upcoming video I happen to have to recast another small part(since it was a second hand kit 😅) and I recorded the process a little bit there so you can check it out later. I think there are quite a few videos on recasting using oyumaru and blue stuff in TH-cam, so you can also try searching for em too 😁
I recently bought the 1J from the 40th anniversary based in the Miria model, i thought it would be something new to learn but i think i fucked up and feel it wouñd be wasted in me because idk shit about building models and idk what to do now lol, i don’t want it to look ugly
Haha don’t worry about it man. Just set it aside for now. If it’s not broken, then it’s fine. And even if some parts broke, it can be cemented and fixed later. Just don’t lose any parts 😅. Level up a little with easy kits like gundams, learn some painting skills, etc. And you can always go back to the kit in the future. 👍
Wish I have your skills as I love to do these kits for fun. However, I have found out I am very bad a painting small things and my eyes are not that good now that I'm older.
There are magnifying glasses(wearable or the type that has lights and clamps to the table) that you can use. Most people that are into the model kit hobby especially the scale model kits(tanks, fighter planes) are generally older generations. So don’t worry! Have a look at some options and give it a go 😁 it’s not impossible for you.
White lebih cair sih, jd cuma bs utk bocel/lubang super kecil. Kalau ini lebih mirip odol kl ya 😅 paling bs nambel sampe 1mm. Kalau lebih gede dr 1mm hrs pake epoxy biar bagus.

wow.I never knew most of these techniques. especially the liquid masking! thank you!
Glad it helped! 👍
Used to build these 20 years ago... loved em.
Coincidentally, this specific kit was from someone’s backlog that he bought at first release back in 2004.

お見事！！綺麗に仕上がってるやん！！
ありがとうございます~!
Es un trabajo perfecto, mis felicitaciones.

Love your vids! Keep up the great work!
please keep making videos! Great walkthrough and subtitles. Im subbing🙂
Thank you 🙏
And I will 😁

Are you missing the part beneath the head? Which covers the neck hole for the body.
Nope, B16 is installed.

For that I'll get the old imai macross model kits 😮💨
If I can find them cheap I’d probably wanna get some too.
Sometimes working on old kits are also fun 😅

I want it. But my skills is not good enough to do all of the builds 🤣
Thanks for the video.
Is this model needs glue? My best regards
Thank you, and yes. As you can see in the build video it needs plastic cement or super glue if you prefer those.
👌👌👌

Amazing work 🤩 any problems with the decals due to the age of the kit, I've heard comments. I have a large collection of the Hasegawa Macross kits.
Thanks!

What are "verniers"? I know Gundam uses that term too but I always thought they should be called "Burners". It's basically the nozzles aren't they?
Yea they’re the small thrusters
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernier_thruster
VF-1S is always cool, but it's unfortunate that Hasegawa didn't make 1/72 VF-11 variants in Batroid mode
I think they only made battroid kits from the SDF macross series.
Not sure why, but they only made fighters for the other series. Not even gerwalk modes are made I think 🤔
Putting this exact model together as we speak. Didn't realize that you have to paint EVERYTHING especially the feet. Kind of odd in my opionion.
Haha yea scale model kits are like that 😅
These kits are not like gunpla kits which are designed to be very easy to build and doesn’t require paint(most of the time) or glue.

Nice work. And I would love to ask how you mold your missing part. Cause I currently found out I drop one of the small booster on the leg armor…
I used oyumaru, but you can also use blue stuff.

That's nice and all but where's the Jet mode?
Hasegawa kits don’t transform.
I do have the fighter kit in my backlog though. Maybe in a future video 😄
What color did you use for the gun?
Mr. Color 37, RLM75 Gray Violet

Mantap hasilnya keren om 🤩👍
Itu putty yg dipake di 07:08 merk apa om?
Thank you 😁
Tamiya basic putty bro
@@casualplamo makasih om, saya biasanya pake white putty. kayanya yang om pake lebih solid
White lebih cair sih, jd cuma bs utk bocel/lubang super kecil.
Kalau ini lebih mirip odol kl ya 😅 paling bs nambel sampe 1mm. Kalau lebih gede dr 1mm hrs pake epoxy biar bagus.
@@casualplamo mantap makasih ilmunya om, bisa dicoba 😁🙏. saya lagi rakit motor hasegawa juga
Man that looks kinda bad just snapped together and I don't think even the excessive decal sheet can save it. Definetly a kit for painters.
Haha yea, the Hasegawa kits are more like scale model aircraft model kits instead of the typical colorful plastic gunpla snap fit kits 😅
