Yamato 1/2000 scale Macross SDF-1

-
Yamato has announces the release of 1/2000 Complete Transformation Macross SDF-1 Prototype Model Kit (Heavy Duty Resin Ver.) this year December.Not very sure if this is going to be the actual release of that 1/2000 Macross SDF-1 as shown in past event and expo, as the name implies, one needs to assemble and perhaps paint this gigantic resin kit.



The shear size alone means that Yamato does put in a lot of effort to perfect the design. A new material, "Heavy Duty Resin" - PU (a combination of resin and polyurethane) is used to produce the parts so that they are strong enough to support the model's weight, and for the transformation gimmick. Zinc alloy is also used for those parts.






There are about 400 parts to be assembled for this model. At 1/2000 scale, the ship will be 640mm in length

And the price? 210,000 Yen which roughly if you do the exchange rates correctly is around RM7,900 round it up to RM 8,000!!!!is only for those diehard Macross/robotech fans!!!

No matter how long the stop takes or how long one driving experience has in his/her entire life. And secondly the parking brakes are installed for a reason. It pays to use it when parking. Where Mr.Lee fail in common sense makes up in creativity or in this case uniqueness on how to get a first class ticket boarding flight to St. Peter’ gate. As Mr.Lee got down from his 3 tonne truck to unload the bricks he left the engine running while uploading the brick from the back of the truck. The 3 tonne truck moved backwar...
