wolfx Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 End of month release? Looks like still the Low Viz pilot. Quote
Graham Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 I absolutely love the look of the Fighter mode, not so keen on how it looks in Battroid though. And 'ya would think by now that Yamato would know how to do a better GERWALK pose for their publicity photos. And somebody really needs to make up some 1/48 scale MK82 bombs to hang on the wings of this. Oh & I love the green gunpod, although I notice whoever posed the toy for the pics forgot to open the stock in battroid mode! Graham Quote
wolfx Posted May 18, 2006 Author Posted May 18, 2006 Not sure if this is Yamato's photos though. Cause if it is, the person doesn't know the product. I like the fighter mode too. Gerwalk is alright, and if coupled with a Armoured Gerwalk armour...would look uber. Quote
Die, Alien Scum! Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 I hope the production version doesn't come with that white antenna on the backpack. That looks messed up. Other than that, I like the look of this new Low-Vis. And I have to agree with Graham; that green gunpod looks sweet. Quote

And I have to agree with Graham; that green gunpod looks sweet. 400314[/snapback] i hope yamato cancel the antenna on the backpack, it's too stupid with that kind of so call "antenna", many people ask me what is it when they see that , I give them the answer, their reply is: "....... sorry, I don't get it, never seen any antenna as that thick...."

Mechamaniac Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 (edited) LOVE IT!. I've been wanting a camo valk for so long. The early shots didn't do it much justice, they made it look shades lighter than these pics do. Now that's what I'm talking about, a nice deep woodland camo. Albeit in a West German fashion, but I'll take it. And I just noticed the missile packs done in subdued colors....joygasm!. Even though in the real military, they don't paint the missiles to match the planes. Just hope Devin makes some UN ARMY leg and gunpod decals. Glad I ordered two!.

Project Phoenix Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 The LV2 looks nifty! The fighter mode with the camo somehow reminds me of the Su-25. Quote
easnoddy Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 I wish they would have gone with the old standard European theatre camo. The amount of tan in this thing makes it kinda high-vis. Here's 3 schemes that would have been cool IMO. http://www.jpsmodell.de/dc/draw/n83a_tor.jpg http://www.jpsmodell.de/dc/draw/t_gr1_80.jpg http://www.jpsmodell.de/dc/draw/n76lwtor.jpg I like battroid best though.

HoveringCheesecake Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 (edited) Wait a minute... Valkyries in Vietnam?! Edited May 18, 2006 by meh_cd Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 Wait a minute... Valkyries in Vietnam?! 400375[/snapback] Yup and Gerwalks in Guatemala... and Battroids in Brazil. I\'m glad I ordered this. It took a long while for this to finally grow on me. Battroid looks pretty darn good. Quote
bigkid24 Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 It's not my favorite but I think fighter mode looks pretty good. I pretty much plan on leaving this in that mode anyway. I may throw the camo GBP on a CF. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted May 19, 2006 Posted May 19, 2006 I liked it from the first day we got pictures of it. The fighter will look great with this cammo scheme. I like the other modes too!! Can't wait till I receive mine Quote
Veritas Posted May 19, 2006 Posted May 19, 2006 Looking better and better, i'm happy i preordered mine. I'm really digging the green gunpod as well. Thanks for the pics. Quote
memphis Posted May 19, 2006 Posted May 19, 2006 It should come with the green hand ....If not...it will look like... Quote
Guppy Posted May 19, 2006 Posted May 19, 2006 the pics at the top of the page looks so much better. I like most people will be leaving this one in fighter mode. Quote
F360° Posted May 19, 2006 Posted May 19, 2006 is it just me or does the Low Vis Version 2 have matching Intake covers? I can't really tell from the pic but it looks like it could be Black, Dark Brown or Green. Whatever it is, I sure hope it's not Grey like the Stealth. Quote
jenius Posted May 19, 2006 Posted May 19, 2006 is it just me or does the Low Vis Version 2 have matching Intake covers? I can't really tell from the pic but it looks like it could be Black, Dark Brown or Green. The whole thing looks like a repainted CF. As such, I would assume the intake covers are the same chocolate brown color and so are the feet. Quote
The6ftTallAZN Posted May 19, 2006 Posted May 19, 2006 Yeah the intake covers and feet look like dark brown... I wish I had money to order one of these Quote
darkvalkyries Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 yeah.. the fighter mode looks great! too bad we don't have a box arts pic.. i wonder how it looks like... a green box? Quote
Mowe Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 I wonder if paint chipping will be an issue? I think all other valks had been pre-coloured ABS with little paint. Quote
jenius Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 in the pic of the fighter from below it looks like the head should be painted partially green. I wonder how bad that would have made battloid look though. Quote
Golden Arms Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 Great pics!! I have a couple of questions. Is the antenna white or is it the same color as the rest of the valk? Are the Skull logo's on tail fins painted on? Is the GBP armor out as well? Can we see the box? Quote
aaajin Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 (edited) looks like the antenna is white... EDITED : look at the gerwalk pictures Edited May 21, 2006 by aaajin Quote
jenius Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 I really wish Yamato would stop making all of these skull squadron vehicles. I don't think these are out yet either, I think they're not supposed to be out for another week or so. Quote
Die, Alien Scum! Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 I really wish Yamato would stop making all of these skull squadron vehicles. I agree, but I think the skulls are just stickers. The one on the heatshield is for sure, but if you look really close the ones on the tailfins appear to be as well. You can just barely see the outside clear part along the edge of the sticker. Or maybe I'm just seeing things. Quote

They are stickers The Low Viz II is not from the skull squadron like the Stealth. All the previous advertising showed the Stealth as part of the skull squadron, it even showed the strange placement of the skulls. Quote
