David Hingtgen Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 Getting ready to put my 48 Milia nose back together, but would like to add some authentic paint/color detail to the ejection seat and the area behind it. Yamato's molding doesn't seem to match Kawamori's Design Works book nor DYRL, so I'm assuming they based it off the Hase kits or the TV series (of which I don't have a good enough copy of to reference from) So anyways---are there any screen caps from the series etc that shows any details/colors of the ejection seat (mainly the sides) or the rear cockpit area? I don't really want to leave the whole cockpit and seat grey, but also don't want to just "make things up". I really should get good copies of where her VF-1J appears before I start painting it. Ironically the seat sides are pretty close to a VF-0's it seems... PS--anyone have a list of where Milia's VF-1J appears? I think 25, 26, 27, 30, 34 off the top of my head. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted May 6, 2006 Author Posted May 6, 2006 Thank you VERY much. Hmmn, the "red/orange" spot so prominent in DYRL is there too---might have to mod the seat. Definitely going to add a HUD, though I don't have any spares in 1/48. Might just buy a cheap F-14 kit for parts... (Might use the seat, too! ) Darn, red head-lasers looks pretty canon. Might paint them metallic grey for sheer "looks-better-ness" anyways though. Quote
