"Macross Frontier: 1/60 VF-25S Armored Messiah Ozma Custom (Part 2)!"

Fighter mode!

which is nothing short of stunning... with that much of armor and firepower, the Armored Messiah is like a one-man fighting machine!

You can sense there's something not right when the instructions ask u to use some additional parts to support the wings. For me, the whole mode just doesn't work. As you try to get the legs to align, bits and pieces of armor keep falling off. The wing armor also blocks the hand from moving. And the legs... no way they are gonna move anywhere too.

Fortunately, the Armored Messiah is mostly seen in fighter mode and battroid. :D

Next: without the armor

btw, it's not Ozma in the cockpit, it's Alto! =)

Also you can get it for about RM700 (preorder price) from richard at lowyat.net

Nice photos...

Just want to help out since you are getting married! in the future you might want to consider buying the DX/other macross products from the sellers at forum.lowyat.net so that you can save some money for your wedding =) But you might have to pay for some additional postage cost, which in the end might still be cheaper than you buy from the toy shops.
