More updated shots of the 1/2000 Macross SDF-1 Prototype resin kit by Yamato Toys. Price for the kit is still an eye opening 210,000 yen. Based from my understanding of the literature, they will only be able to produce 10 kits per month of this behemoth.
If you find the price too steep, you can always try building your own Macross SDF1 using everyday materials found in your hardware store.
Yamato boasts that the detail of this kit will be unparalleled.
The gates are supposed to be removed already from the kit when it is shipped to you.
The kit is supposed to consist of over 400 individual parts. Update: According to this blog post, the total parts will reach about 600 with the screws included.
No surfacer needed prior to painting because of the material used.
Special plastic is used for the joints that are more wear resistant.
Strong magnets are used to align and hold the arm parts together.
