F-ZeroOne Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 (edited) I don't think this has been pointed out before; I did a search and couldn't find a reference. I was looking through my copy of Miyatakes Design Works the other day, and I noticed something on page 36. At the top of the page, theres a rough of the "X-01" hangar from Macross Plus New Edwards base. Lined up on the ramp are the YF-19 and... ...the YF-23. No, not the YF-21, the YF-23! See? It made it into service after all, it just took forty years for the military to realise how awesome it is... Edited February 16, 2006 by F-ZeroOne Quote
NERV Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Got a scan of it? could it be an error? (like is it YF-21 colors) Quote

azrael Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Cute...they're place holders. That "YF-19" actually looks like the X-29 with some large engine blocks on it.... Quote
F-ZeroOne Posted February 16, 2006 Author Posted February 16, 2006 Azrael, I must admit I didn't pay as much attention to it - but I do remember it that it didn't look quite right. On closer examination, the canards are much bigger and in the wrong place... Quote
Lindem Herz Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Actually, that YF-19 looks like a VF-9. Quote
azrael Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 (edited) It's the canards that remind me of the X-29. The canards on a VF-9 are closer to a triangle-shape. Those canards are more trapezoidal or due to size (the only thing that had those distinguishable canards, in my memory is the X-29)...like the X-29, which is why it reminded me of it. But you're right, it does look like a VF-9, minus the canards. Edited February 17, 2006 by azrael Quote
HWR MKII Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 Looks more like a storyboard excerpt to me. Notice the arrows drawn in to show a direction of object or camera movement in the scene? Quote

It may just serve as reference for the actual valks themselves since those profiles are similar in shape. 371029[/snapback] As I said, place holders..... Quote
