Yamato's Upcoming 1/60 VF-0A

[David Hingtgen]

I wondered about that, as VF-1 usually had them centered vertically, or even just below--but that would have put them right over the chine on a VF-0. Though the -19 has its kite across the chine.

BTW, "NE" is from when VF-1 was assiged to Carrier Wing 2 on the USS Ranger. Just FYI. VF-2 was paired with VF-1 for as long as VF-1 existed I think. VF-1 is THE Tomcat squadron IMHO----it was created for the sole purpose of being the first Tomcat squadron, and disbanded as a Tomcat squadron. (Always wondered why VF-2 was spared, instead of VF-1)

According to my conversations with Yamato... the grayish-tan/brownish-grey appearance of the VF-0A in the Macross Zero anime was due to lighting effects and also the anime VF-0As in the anime being dirty and worn from combat

Hmmm... totally believable for fighters that never saw real combat until the events of M0 .

Great review as usual, Graham. The VF-0A is also my fav, broken shoulder and all.

cool review Graham.

i didnt know no one had shwon picks witht he olfpack markings

I can try n get one with my phone camra, but i cant guarantee how clear it will be. i also painted the grey stripes to red on my wolfpack oA, so it wont be totally what u want to see.

IMO the VF-0's elbow and shoulder articulation is definitely improved over the 1/48. And the extra joint in the upper leg for GERWALK mode is a huge improvement.

Graham

Yep, those are great. I like the extra joint too to make a better GERWALK Mode, as with the latest YF-19.

[eugimon]

nice customs! Great work on detailing the pilot to match.

Let's see them in other modes pls.

[Scream Man]

I'll have to borrow a camera again. Ill try and do some next week

[Kyp Durron]

Dude, those customs kick ass!!!!

I need to hire someone to panel-line my VF-0S and dull-coat seal it.

Thanks for the review Graham!

First time posting, but been lurking for a while. Just bought my very first valk, a Low Viz 2 a couple of weeks back. Really hooked by how awesome it looks! I love the grey on the VF-0A, so I'm hoping to pick it up when I drop by in Tokyo in a couple of weeks.

Wait 'til you get your hands on it. The slight differences from the VF-1 to the VF-0 will astound you.

Scream Man,

NIIIIIIICE!!!!!!

How about some pics in other modes? Maybe even submit it to the "Customs Gallery."

[Scream Man]

I love the 0. Its my fav macross design. Its like the VF-1 but cooler

[the_foul_fowl]

Yup, those are nice customs you have there Scream Man I especially like how you made the stripes on the wings and the thruster fins red to match the wolfpack color scheme. Nice work!

Man, the VF-0A just keeps looking better and better from every angle!

[Scream Man]

thanx man.

Its a great plane My only really issue is the head laser is WAY long.

[Graham]

More pics of the Max VF-0S custom please in all three modes.

Graham

[Scream Man]

ok, Ill try n borrow a camera from a neighbour tonight...

Its kinda funny; I make lots of customs of different things, often taking apart toys and sculpting parts. The 2 toys people love most? 2 fighter jets I painted stripes on
