Actually, I've only got some really old pics of the 19FP and I believe it has been redesigned significantly since then, so even I don't know what it looks like at now. However, I do have the Q-Rau sculpt sitting on my desk at the moment and it is increadibly sweet. Don't even think about asking for pics, Yamato would kill me. And no, I'm not playing the Macross PS2 game at the moment . I'm still at the office, but only for another 40 minutes. Graham

Apart from the single micro missiles and some of the RMS-1 being a bit loose, I've had no problems. I love the 1/48 FPs, think they are fantastic. Graham

No, less. Graham

Can somebody please use their digital camera to take a photo of the VF-4 on screen in all three modes. I really want to see it. Graham

No, the cockpit has not been made shorter. That's the first I've heard about people complaining it was too long. Graham I think he ment the nose, as the Yamato is quite a deal more endowed than most other valks. LOL....Yamato 1/48, the John Holmes of Valkyries Graham

It's only the addition of the joystick and the seat headrest, which is more curved that are different. The rest is the same. Graham

Technically, the L1 & R1 buttons in Fighter mode are the Yaw control (I Think?). Graham

No, the cockpit has not been made shorter. That's the first I've heard about people complaining it was too long. Graham

It's all about the gadgets (guns & vehicles), all those classic one-liners and of course Hudson Graham

I completely agree. As I've said before, to play the game properly, especially in Battroid and Gerwalk modes, you really need three hands Graham

Yep, you can go up and down in gerwalk. You need to use both analog sticks to control gerwalk mode. IIRC, One stick rotates you, the other moves you up, down, left, right. As for the mission inside Macross, IIRC you have to find three bbattlepod which have been abandoned by Zentradi defectors. There shouuld be an on screen arrow which guides you. Graham

No and No. When I'm in fighter mode, I usually always keep the decelerate (triangle) button depressed. It makes it far easier to out turn the regults and fighter pods. The only time I accelerate is to evade missiles. Graham

Thank you. Graham

It's pink... For some reason it reminds me of prune juice! Graham

End of November. Graham

Heh, for me US games are the import games. Graham

Hmm....that's a bit bad. I guess it would have been too much work for the programmers to add the twin beam guns. Oh well, we can just pretend that it is supposed to be an earlier prototype version of the VF-4, with conventional guns instead of high powered beam weapons. Graham

The game has a playable tutorial, which is the best way to learn the controls. Graham

A question for those of you that have already unlocked the VF-4. Does it have the two beam guns on the forearms and actually fire twin beams, or do the incorrectly have it firing a gunpod or gunpod ammo from the arms? Graham

Just wondering has anybody been able to get into the BBS on the official game site.? I've had no luck at all. I was just thinking that perhaps the Japanese players may have uncovered more secrets and may know more about the situation with the Mac Zero & Mac Plus VFs. Graham

Eh.....what 13th TV mission? I thought there are only 12 TV missions, at least I only get 12 when I play. Graham

Nope, never heard anything previously about this game having an online aspect. Graham

Here's the rest of the page from the new December 2003 issue of Dengeki Hobby magazine. Note also the unpainted Yamato 1/60 VF-1J with GBP-1S at the bottom of the page. Graham

Here's a pic of the pilot and cockpit. Graham

Heh, I want one of those wheelchairs for when I'm old. Perhaps I can ask Yamato to make it. Wonder if the would consider a FAST pack or full armored GBP version! Graham
