David Hingtgen Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 (edited) Simple all-over 36118. F-15E, B-52, B-1B, YF-23. When new they look sinister. When not pristine they look pretty neat. You don't see weathered Strike Eagles that often but here it is. PS--Nied--despite everybody referencing it, "TPS 1" is not at all the F-14's TPS. And MATS has the right pattern but the wrong colors. Here's my corrected version of the MATS one. 99% of F-14's don't have the patch by the intake lip though. And the area just outboard of the tailfins usually isn't painted 36320 but 35237. PPS--the ultimate digital camo is the new fractal pattern. Nigh-invisible. Just gotta paint the missiles too... Edited February 12, 2006 by David Hingtgen Quote
Dante74 Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 Ok, make the low vis like the F-16 and I'm sold! Wow, me want, me want!! Quote
David Hingtgen Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 I think they'd have to charge an extra 50 bucks for the paint applications alone to give you a fractal-camo VF. Quote
baronv Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 If they make this low viz a VF-1S, then I'll break down and finally buy a 1/48 valk. Quote
eugimon Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 mmmm... low viz Vf-1s... I'd buy another 1/48 Vf-1 for that. who am I kidding, i'm picking up the new low viz no matter what VF it is. Quote
Macross73 Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 Yeah regardless of what type it is i'll be getting it , but i'm hoping for a 1J or 1S. I'd really like to see an Enigma paint scheme or like either of these: Quote
Veritas Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 If its a straight up rerelease of the original i don't think i'll be getting but like others have pointed out if they at least make the effort to change the heads, or hopefully even the heads ill be one of the first in line. I'm actually more intrested in what this stealth valk is going to look like... Quote
Roy's Blues Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 Yeah regardless of what type it is i'll be getting it , but i'm hoping for a 1J or 1S. I'd really like to see an Enigma paint scheme or like either of these: 369691[/snapback] Wow! That cloud scheme looks really good! Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Yeah that is what I had in mind. It would look kinda cool in battroid mode too. Also a GBP with that paintscheme to match would be perfect. From a distance it would even blend in with the SDF1. Quote
jenius Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 I would like it to have "Limited Version" scrolled on the front of the box also. I like LE toys Why do people want LV fast packs and GBPs? It doesn't make any real-world sense. Ah crap, I just said 'real world sense' on a forum about giant transforming jets. Nevermind, I guess they'd look cool but I'd rather see a color variation to match one of the TV valks. Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 (edited) Well in my world the GBP acts as a destroid that fights on a futuristic but secret aircraft carrier with antigravity abilities that is hidden and floating in the clouds. (ie like in that vertically scrolling shoot em up "Raiden" when you are about to launch off it to get to the space level) The armor adds a bit better defense since there is so little space to manuever. I nthe future all sorts of holographic technology is used to help hide these floating aircraft carriers from the enemy so these color make it harder to see them. But who cares it looks cool! As for fast packs, yeah I agree. Maybe they are special valks that fight in battroid mode with the fast pack as a jetpack for extra boost, and they are designed for fighting on the moon or something.

Chebosto Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 (edited) we need a high Viz!!! but perhaps a UN Spacy Logo instead.. ? heh. here's a good 'low viz' of an operational f22 Edited February 14, 2006 by Chebosto Quote
Nied Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 I re-did the TPS scheme with the pattern from MATS so it should be a little bit more accurate. I'm really likeing this one. I also tried to make an aproximation of the last Low Vis scheme for comparison purposes. Quote
Ghadrack Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 How about a Wonder Woman style invisible jet for the next low vis. Transparent except for lights, tires and the visor Quote

David Hingtgen Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Ah yes, THAT's the Tomcat low-vis scheme. Any chance you could add a bunch of touch-ups, replaced panels, oil streks, and hydraulic leaks, to really get that "been on the boat for 20 years" look? Quote
Graham Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 BTW, the title Low Vis 2 is somewhat misleading. Graham Quote

DatterBoy Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 A 1/48 made of clear parts... sweet... How about a Wonder Woman style invisible jet for the next low vis. Transparent except for lights, tires and the visor 370834[/snapback] Quote
eugimon Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 ARGH!!! TELL US, TELL US NOW!!!! heh... I'm so happy Graham is back in with Yamato... Quote
jenius Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Re-release/ Re-issue...anyone? That was my initial response when I read what Graham said but then I remembered the first thing Graham said, "This is not a reissue." Quote
Nied Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 (edited) BTW, the title Low Vis 2 is somewhat misleading. Graham 371299[/snapback] Edited February 19, 2006 by Nied Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 (edited) Might be a special UN Army paintscheme? Seen in Battroid mode with custom GBP paintscheme? That might makes sense. If they do something with camoflage I would like to see weathering. (dirt and mud etc) Role is to fight alongside heavily modded destroids like the ground gundams in 8th MS Team? ah. *dreams of a destroid macross side story* Edited February 19, 2006 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker Quote
myk Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 If that's the case then I'll probably PASS. I'll have to see what the Stealth version looks like... Quote
AlphaHX Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 I wish the new low vis will look like a 1/48 YF-19. Quote
kensei Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 BTW, the title Low Vis 2 is somewhat misleading. Graham 371299[/snapback] 371482[/snapback] You were almost bang on the money with the first one. Quote
BlueMax Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 BTW, the title Low Vis 2 is somewhat misleading. Graham 371299[/snapback] 371482[/snapback] You were *that* close to the real answer! Quote
Nied Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Cross posted with the wonderfest thread. SInce this is what I want my Low Vis 2 to look like. Quote
jenius Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 (edited) It's nicer but I would still like to see some of the colors darker still. I would also like the chocolate brown pieces to be black to match the nose trim. EDIT - and the gun on the head shouldn't be silver either. Edited February 22, 2006 by jenius Quote
