Hi , i was like you too searching for this Beauty untill i got it but i t was almos a tragedy. I can sell it but it is not going to be cheap , you see i got the Tsukuda (same one as Halcyon in 1/72) but it came with no main bay (the big one piece below) , in desperation i cried for someone who had this part , i got a reply but in the form of metal parts from the Leading Edge kit also in 1/72 , i’ve found they are compatible but it is going to take Some work for adapting the metal bay and the plastic parts(the bay is made of more than 7 pieces in metal), it can be fun for the right people , i just dont have the time…
Ask me anything.
K’pla
Interesting Ad I found on a toy/action figure magazine this month. Aoshima is releasing the Dropship and the APC both in diecast scheduled to ship this June. The APC is advertised to be 5 inches long. And from the picture the APC fits into the dropship as well. Though it’s not the model kit, I am still very much looking forward to it.
These have been out since 2004 here in Japan:

Perhaps the add is for an overseas release.
These metal models are indeed quite nice, but all the examples I inspected suffered from large, toy-like gaps where parts screwed together. A bit disappointing. Expensive, too!
ahhh… ic. yea I think they did look like those, kinda toyish.
Damn, wish I’d spotted this earlier. There was a guy at WF selling them bagged for $20. You might ask around the SSM boards, some kind soul might be willing to part with one.
Well not a dropship… But I have Halcyon Alien shuttle looking for a good home… Never built…
