I think that was the modeller's preference. The main colors for that model looks like light ghost grey which is a bluish color.
-
What?! Eyes not blue? Preorder cancelled! Mirage's valk redish? Preorder cancelled! Chuck's valk might be last and his radar will be shown as round and not oval? Preorder cancelled!
-
Nope. Just one of each though you need to swap a couple of parts out to make it work.
-
I will for the photo shoot. I'll have all 3 modes for both of them. I already was moving all the parts around to see if there would be any rubbing. The only parts I see are the backpack area and shoulder plates. That Tamiya spray is pretty tough. Tougher than the acrylic one.
-
This piece? This was from the last page. He glued it back on.
-
Assembly kits would be nice option for the customizers out there. I'd prefer ready made if possible though..
-
Tidying up here and there. Sprayed the valk TS-80 Flat clear to tone down the gloss. Reassembled everything back together. Will paint the pilot and decal next then do a proper photo shoot later on. Don't mind the crooked missile pods. I'll redo the bases so it fits better. I might redo the head laser to match the grey.

Thanks for the offers but both of these babies have already reserved spaces taken up by my old Yamato VF-0s (I'll probably just do custom paint jobs on those). Spanner: I bet if you gave Lancelot a VF-0D and VF-0A he could do it better. Xigfrid: Before deciding on the Master files VF-8 scheme I was gonna do a VF-101 grim reapers scheme but changed my mind.

Did you try looking at the link below? The YF-21 links work from the 1st page of this thread. The VF-1A supers still don't though. Just type it in like this http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/1457-23 in the address bar. Second number 1st followed by dash then first number.

MickyG's Yamato VF-1S Unpainted, Unassembled Kit Build
wmkjr replied to mickyg's topic in The Workshop!
Looking forward to the pics! -
Sure, I just need to make 2 more for you though.
-
I thought the VF-1D 2 seater was same level seats with no hump and the VE-1 and VT-1 had a raised theater seating with hump? I can see doing a Virgin road or CF along with the VF-1D though
-
Maybe the middle part of the wings hits the shoulders? You can kinda spread the inner wing parts down till the middle almost touches the shoulders but I wonder if you can move it away from them just enough to clear it? I'd rock it like this:
-
Wow. Did you have to bend the legs to get it in then adjust it? Looks like you can barely squeeze a sheet of paper up top!
-
Anubis approves:
-
George Jetson approves of the clear canopy: Looks kinda F-22ish. Edit: The F-22 canopy reminds me of the VF-5000 canopy more.

Almost at the home stretch! I finished the stencils on the leg fins and legs. I also painted the intakes white as much as I could since I don't know how to remove the blades. I'm gonna do the other side of the gunpod inverted, blend the greys on the bottom of the tailfins and spray the arms and head. Here are some pics of where it's currently at: With the correct chest undersides for the winglets:

It doesn't fit the Yamatos and only some parts of the 0D. The review above you at www.anymoon.com provides additional info.

Which service did you use to ship from Japan? I've used EMS, FedEx, and regular airmail via all the normal online retailers and never had a box dented like that. I know that some proxy services allow an option for extra padding for a fee. Maybe you can request that they mark it "fragile" or something? Could be some disgruntled employee somewhere along the delivery chain not giving a rip.
-
Battle effects? I'll keep mine in the box for a few weeks. Hopefully it cures or something.
-
Thanks! Hopefully it turns out alright. Unfortunately the part I was talking about is visible and the earlier pic wasn't clear. Here are both of the parts for each of them. The one for the C with the indents is mounted while the other one is for the B without the indent. This was taken after I resprayed the colors. Not too much done today. I redid those parts, created the UN MARINE Font and made a stencil for the gunpod and sprayed it, did the smaller 00 in the front and sprayed the leg fins blue. Those small 00 are a pain. I wish someone made these decals for 1/60. Next thing is to create the VMFAT-203 for the legs and do the other side of the gunpod.
-
Finished the other tailfin. I also extended the blue at the nose as i found out that it was too short. Here are some pics of it mocked up with the missile pods and canards. I've run into a mistake on my part. I swapped the upper chest covers thinking that was all that's needed but it appears that I now need to swap the bottom part of it out as the 0D has an indent for the canards and it's on the 0B right now. At first i thought I couldn't get to that part as there are 4 small screws (1 smaller one than the other for the outer hole) holding it together and after taking out the screws it was clamped together pretty tight. I used my spudger set to gently pry it apart. Here is the top half of the upper chest piece with the 4 screw holes: Here is the bottom half that I need to swap out under the white area. I just need to take out the pins that's holding it, take apart the 0B a little, then swap them out. That's it for now.

PO is closed already for this one. I think it was February 30th or something. That left hip tampo is not lineart accurate though. Panic mode everyone! I bet you PO will be around the same time as the VF-31As.

I give you credit as it's a PITA to do your own paintings this way. As far as the clear inserts go I'm not at that level to trust myself with something like that let alone attempt. The one thing that helps me is that I have a lot of free time on my days off from work and can goof off and learn some of the programs to help create these.
