That definitely sounds like a good issue! I can't wait to see it. I'm really interested in that MAXL, since I've long-theorized exactly that and I plan on doing a profile line art for it, once I get my base VF-11 work done. How did they do the tails on it? Just on the wingtips or did it have four like the VF-0D?
-
Thanks, Reivaj, I'm glad you like them. I've updated it quite a bit since then, but I want to finish the VF-25 before I post a new copy. I've since added the YF-24, VF-25, and YF-29 to the chart.
-
I wouldn't mind seeing a scan of the model, since I've been planning on doing a VEFR-1 schematic side view profile for awhile...
-
Thanks for the translation, sketchley. It was quite an interesting read. The part that stood out to me the most was the resignation of the VF-9 to a supplementary role and the change of the VF-5000 from co-"main fighter" status with the VF-4 to a much lesser one. The comment about General Galaxy's designs being eccentric made me laugh.
-
HMV Japan has it as well.
-
It, and the rest of the books in the series (VF-1 vol 1, VF-1 vol 2 "Space Wings", and VF-19) are great books. You won't be disappointed.
-
On the two YF-21s, yes. They carried both their gunpods externally. The VF-22 moved them behind panels.
-
I totally forgot to post this a couple weeks ago when I did it. Added a few details the YF-21/VF-22 were missing. Still haven't done the cockpit, but I'm sure I will sometime.
-
Finally finished my VF-11 gunpod. I used the one in Macross Chronicles as a starting point since it had the best shape, incorporated some additional details from the line art and tweaked some shapes to match it closer, and added the bayonet completely. EDIT: And finished the GU-11 and GPU-9.
-
I know, I was specifically referring to the VF-1XX and VF-9E that were mentioned earlier. It is a race, that's why I alluded to auto racing before the strict Formulas started adding some sanity to them. Fortunately they don't have to worry about carrying armaments in Vanquish either. That would open up a whole different kettle.
-
Nah, you're good. It's sometimes hard to convey things in text. What I always found interesting about the Power Armor in Macross Plus was that it seems to combine the Male and Female Power Armors into one Hermaphroditic one, though closer to the N-Ger in overall appearance. As far as the Vanquish racers, sketchley is dead on. Think of them like 1960s pre-Formula race cars. Biggest engines in the smallest, lightest, simplest frames possible, no matter how dangerous. These airframes aren't designed to handle that kind of power at all.
-
They did, the Queadluun-Rhea, designed to be more survivable. It seems to be replacing both the Q-Rau and the N-Ger in UN service too, since we see a Zentradi Marine Battalion using them.
-
Ah, interesting! Thanks.
-
Only one of those is a VF-11, though. The second is a YF-27 prototype.
-
Where does the VA-3M reference for Galaxy show up? I don't remember seeing that before.
-
Yes, I know. It was a mistake on Kawamori's part when he drew the line art and left the speaker gunpod in.
-
All of the GERWALK line art for VF-19s in Macross 7 (including the VF-19F and S) show them with speaker gunpods. Mr. March photoshopped in GU-15s for the line art on his website. He left the VF-19P with a speaker gunpod, since it didn't have a GU-15 in the animation.
-
That would be my guess, it is just stylized. You're overthinking it.
-
It's a bison skull, I would guess. http://www.skullsunlimited.com/record_variant.php?id=3117 (wow, that was a weird Google Images search...)
-
That's the YF-27-5. It's a prototype for the VF-27 Lucifer project.
-
I've fiddled with it, but I haven't really managed to make anything with it yet.
-
It's Imageshack, you probably just got one of their advertising pop-ups. The link is clean, I just double-checked it.
-
Here's a close-up screencap I took back when were were trying to identify the VF-25A. It's a hangar shot from episode 7.
-
Looks great, s.a! Here's a small update to my VF-9 I've been working off and on for a while. Still a /lot/ of work that needs to be done. The VF-1 seat is a stand-in for now. I'm going to tweak it, probably recline it some, in the final cockpit.

I don't have my copy of the book out with me right now, so I can't answer the question about the mockup cover, but the XYF-19-1 is a VF-11 modified to test the YF-19's forward-swept wing and some of the avionics.
