Wow, you've got yourself a VF-4 Gerwalk going there too!
-
Way too much red going on in one spot like that. It makes Battroid look silly as well IMO.
-
I'm thinking that "purple" color must be a combination of the low level lighting in the photo combined with some different monitor settings. It's a dulled version of the more blue feet we've seen before (and I personally found the more blue color appealing.)
-
The placement of the red behind the canopy and up the fuselage where it meets the black stripes is an eyesore and doesn't flow IMO. It's this weird blotched mess in the middle of the Valk.
-
To be honest I don't like the "The 1st" schemes. There's too much red on the Hikaru one.
-
AWESOME! Can't wait for pics of those. I wanted to make both the SVF-13 and SVF-37 versions. Are you going to mod the arm armor so you can mount reaction warheads and/or additional gunpods to them like in the Master File book as well? We need more pics of that Lucky 7 too.

1/48+fp's, 1/60+fp's, 1/72, 1/2k, 1/3k,1/100 and now 1/144

Just because the fighter in Mac F spends most of it's time in space doesn't mean the design couldn't be used someplace else in atmosphere most of the time like all of the those Volan VF-5000 patrols that are atmosphere based. But then the argument becomes, are you really spending time worrying about drag on make-believe aircraft. -
Yeah, the wing folds right up against that part of the wing glove in Battroid mode. That might be why they chose to paint it instead.
-
I must say it's really too bad the models for the VF-1's are based off the old chunky monkeys as the footage/special effects of the Valks flying looks really cool otherwise.
-
This is a good start,thanks for scanning so many, but it isn't all of the schemes from the books. My number one pick would be the SVF-64 scheme on page 105 of the second book in the Insurrection of Fitz Roy section. But of the others in that list I'd pick #4, #15, #12 and #19.
-
Who dares post these photos on Mr. K's twitter with the note "Hint, hint?" Because I've debated doing that a few times with that model of the VF-4 painted up in Max's 1J scheme from the modelling thread.
-
This is the first time they've ever really done "slews" of paint jobs. It's kind of hard to tell what they will do to me.
-
How much worse could it get?
-
Aren't the glossy valks harder to keep paint adherence?
-
Wow, painting that must have been tough!
-
My house is considered a rural residence by my local post office. It is big-time residential to DHL.
-
The difference in size and weight might make a big difference. I just bought a 1/60 Fast Pack set off of Mandarake and DHL and EMS were both exactly 3200 yen.
-
The thing is this thing is already based off of the VF-19 design and that fighter mode IS sleek.
-
I was just thinking about this. If Kawamori liked the Yammie VF-19 so much the Kai version essentially became the official line-art who's to say Kawamori isn't going to see this thing work and decide the same thing?
-
The last thing I ordered from Mandarake was an extra set of Fast Packs for my Max 1A (Sunday) and the cost of EMS and DHL was exactly the same. Also, DHL arrived yesterday. Maybe for something larger like a 1/48 the price changes but for smaller packages that does not appear to be the case.
-
Why only use DHL if you have a business address?
-
No, it's there because the legs aren't actually in the correct alignment and the swoop in the body is practically non-existent. Plus there's the gullet and the fact the entire cockpit/nose section is pushed up instead of swooping back down. Honestly, while this YF-19 looks good it's still a bit of an oddity because it has it's roots in the M7 version which is different in a lot more ways and it's been retooled to fit the YF-19 look instead. That top down shows how much more wide and squat the body is, but that lineart is kind of ridiculous with the tiny shield tucked in the back. In Battroid it would look comically small. If you compare the side-view shot with the new loaded down one of the undercarriage you'll see just how much of an optical illusion that black side-gap is as well. It's barely noticeable from the side. Unless you're posing the new 19 in a way that you see it completely from the top-down how is it an issue?
-
Well, most of this design is based off of the Yammie VF-19's. Unless they've made some changes to the ankles and to the upper thigh joint (which we have no indication of), no, the Gerwalk was extremely limited on the VF-19 and this one looks to follow unfortunately. Plenty of people here are beyond tired of my tirades about the Gerwalk mode, and disagree, but we can all agree that there's no way in hell the VF-19's are anywhere near close to the dynamic poses any of the Frontier valks can achieve.
-
Love it with the full load out. I do think it would look better if the shade of the green were a tad darker but I'm really veering into begging/choosing territory with that. Only thing I don't understand is why they didn't color the knee covers the same as the rest of the tan plane. But I guess from a certain perspective it looks like a black band angled instead.
-
The Max 1S was never that popular anyway. Only once it was way out of print and it didn't look like more VF-1's would be released did it become "popular."
