1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) If possible get both so it at least gets far enough into the future for info about vf-4. Edited June 23, 2006 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker
Graham Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 Comparing the proportions of the upcoming 1/60 scale YF-19 with the Hasegawa 1/72 YF-19 model kit based only on the few CAD drawings so far published is I feel a little unfair. While the Hasegawa is a nicely detailed kit, and looks great when veiwed from the top, I've always felt it is far too skinny when viewed from the side, especially the leg area, when compared with the official side view lineart published in the TIAS M+ book.

GobotFool Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 Graham, just curious, can you at least tell us if there is a real proto in existence?
Vermillion21 Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 Wow ... been away from this thread for 1 day and overnight there's been tons of posts. Amazing.
wolfx Posted June 23, 2006 Author Posted June 23, 2006 Can i post the photo of the YF-19FP that was scrapped?

Graham 410395[/snapback] The leg area looks fine to me, but the belly below the cockpit area looks abit fat. Anyway of lengthening the wing span? Btw will there be other schemes or repaints for this bird given YF-19A is one of the possibilities. Any add on like Fps, missiles or Fold booster? What would i really like to see after the YF19 are the YF21, VF11..and hell yeah a VF-17 !
ghostryder Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) The leg area looks fine to me, but the belly below the cockpit area looks abit fat. Anyway of lengthening the wing span? Funny that's exactly what I was thinking to make the fighter mode awsome. That under-cockpit gullet may be necessary to house tranformation bits AND retractable landing gear. How did the SHE kit manage to keep the forward fuselage so thin (removeable landing gear?). I think making the wingspan bigger would be the easient thing to do to improve the fighter looks. From the Toys section: Edited June 23, 2006 by ghostryder
Graham Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 The SHE YF-19 had no front or rear landing gear. It's groin peice also folded incorrectly in fighter mode as does that on the 1/72 Yamato. (it's correct on the 1/60 tho). The SHE YF-19 also had no locking and was a floppy mess, unless all the small screws were tightened all the way, which wears out the resin quickly. Graham
David Hingtgen Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 I don't check the toy section for ONE day and this happens... Anyways---yup, make the wings bigger. ALWAYS helps in every YF-19 model/toy I've seen yet.
Graham Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 While I can't talk about specific features of this toy, I can go over the CAD lineart drawing and point out improvements that we can obviously see on the lineart, compared to the 1/72 version, which no one seems to have done yet:- The canopy is now the correct shape. The canopy on the 1/72 was completely wrong, by having a curved lower edge instead of a stepped angled edge. The curve of the top edge of the canopy viewed from the side was also completely wrong on the 1/72. The nose-mounted Hybrid sensors now appear to be correctly shaped. Again on the 1/72, they were completely the wrong shape. Gone are the large ugly screws and screw sockets on the wings, that the 1/72 has. The gunpod is now visible from the front of the fighter mode. On the 1/72 it was blocked by the groin peice. The rear landing gear doors now appear to have the correct 'sawtooth' edges, instead of just being plain rectangles on the 1/72. Heck, the 1/72 didn't even have any proper rear landing gear doors. The 1/60 appears to have proper solid knees, rather than the orignal 1/72, which had really ugly exposed knee joints. The 1/60 has proper chest tubes (guns?) on the underside of the chest. On the 1/72, this part lacked detail. The 1/60 has shoulder flaps, the 1/72 didn't. The way the upper and lower feet are positioned in fighter mode is 100% anime accurate. On the 1/72 in fighter mode, the position of the back part of the foot was completely wrong. The shoulders of the 1/60 in fighter mode sit much lower, making the plane more streamlined, compared to the 1/72, where the shoulders were too high up. From the top view fighter CAD drawing, it appears the 1/60 has far fewer gaps around the shield head/neck area than the 1/72. Looking at the CAD drawings, the 1/60 obviously has removable intake covers, which the 1/72 doesn't. Graham
Hiriyu Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 [*]The 1/60 has proper chest tubes (guns?) on the underside of the chest. On the 1/72, this part lacked detail. 410457[/snapback] It was proven here some time back that those parts are in fact the lameness emitters, at least when equipped on the fire valk Seriously, nice news though.

Only the YF-19 & VF-19A do. Graham
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) The gunpod is now visible from the front of the fighter mode. On the 1/72 it was blocked by the groin peice. I hated that about the crotch piece. I try to not look at the lineart and just say: "I'm grateful I have it since there is nothing else out" I won't feel bad selling the 1/72 version if it means a better one is out. Also when you turn the robot upside down there doesn't seem to be anything locking the upper chest with the rest of the body. Massive floppiness there. (even the bandai clicked in together neatly) I just hope they manage to strike a nice balance so we get a decent robot mode too. I'm not a big fan of the big pointy boob. In the lineart it looks like it is squashed in really deep so it doesn't look as noticable. Oh well at least the 1/72 has a nice heavy feel to it to please the diecast people, unlike the vf11 1/72...

recon Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) Tkls for the detailed description graham. What i would love to see, optics/mechanics behind the visor of the head piece. And of cos tempo printed markings on it as that of the VF0S, no need for stickers. Hopefully yamato does take the hint and lengthen the wings abit Am i asking too much? Edited June 23, 2006 by recon
Vermillion21 Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 What would i really like to see after the YF19 are the YF21, VF11..and hell yeah a VF-17 ! Hell yeah, bring on the VF-17!!
Graham Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 A Yamato 1/60 variable VF-17 would be great, but unfortunately, I don't ever see it happening Graham
Crazy Canuck II Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) Ok Graham, I know you can't say anything about the prospects of a 1/60 YF-21, (even though it seems like a no brainer) but can you at least confirm if Yamato knows of the D"StancE YF-21, or if they have a copy? I have been dreaming of a toy version as good as the masterpiece that is the D"StancE and am thrilled that it may come true. Oh and the YF-19 looks good. Although I must say I'm not really thrilled with how wide the hips are or the tiny gunpod. But I always find the CAD drawings a let down anyway. Too sterile or something. Luckily the actual toy always looks much better, so I have high hopes for the 19. P.S. just incase anyone doesn't know what the D"StancE YF-21 is, check out the link http://park1.wakwak.com/~jasshy/yf21.html Edited June 23, 2006 by Crazy Canuck II

Since the Kai is lacking these, it makes them "Lameness Suppressors" This is part of the "active stealth" suite that was removed due to bugetary concerns after the the developement costs skyrocketed due the Sharon Apple Concert/Ghost incident.
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) Beam Sabers! Possibly before they were going to use the macross name, these little tubes would be concealed emergency weapon to kill the pilot and take advantage of the element of surprise. Kinda of like the gadgets that were hidden inside r2d2's body in the star wars movies. Edited June 23, 2006 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker

Graham Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 I can honestly confirm with whole-hearted sincerity that I have absolutely no idea whether Yamato has a D-Stance YF-21 or not. Graham

Still that model and D stance show that awesome looking perfect transformation YF-21s are possible
