How could I let 2012 go without doing another VF-4?
Here is Milia's VF-4 Racing Custom.
I had really hoped that the 'Macross: The Ride' racing series would encourage people to do some more racing customs. I love military aircraft, but I also love racers, with their crazy colour schemes and sponsor logos plastered all over the place. I thought about Milia - a pilot hotshot, no longer in active duty. What would she do? Why not race with a hotted-up retro VF-4!
However, this V4-F has some pretty substantial... modifications. From the souped up engines, reformed cowlings, control surfaces and even wings... a lot has been replaced in subtle and not-so-subtle ways.
Custom decals were produced, one with a fun little spin on Milia's origins. Some were cribbed from a Macross decals option sheet.
While I love weathering, somehow, it didn't seem appropriate for a racer like this. It was all about chrome and gloss finishes, and black, red and white.
Enjoy the pics.
Thanks for looking!
