do not disturb Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 i'm kind of meh about it but it will grace my shelves nonetheless. Quote
Godzilla Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 OMG, Looks like I will be getting 8 of these... damn it yamato. Now hurry up and make those 1/48 2 seaters. Damn, I missed the forum for a couple of days and get good news like this. I missed the yf-19 news like this... Quote
KiriK Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 dayam.... and i thought the stealth and low viz 2 were the last 1/48's i was gonna buy... argh!!! Quote

Screech Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 (edited) That gunpod should be white, although as someone said earlier a show plane wouldn't come with one... 418502[/snapback] About the gunpod and missiles if any are included, In case of an emergency, real life Blue Angels can be reverted to full combat operational status in a matter of hours. This means that all combat avionics and equipment including armament are fitted within that time, and of course paint is not a priority, so in that case the F-18s would join the fight in full Blue Angels colours. Missiles, external fuel tanks, LANTIRNs and whatever they would carry are obviously not match painted. Edited July 24, 2006 by Screech Quote
Mechamaniac Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 Given that they launched Hikaru in a trainer aircraft that day. I would say it's a pretty good bet the Angel Birds saw some action too. Quote
jenius Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 Ugly but intricate, I'll buy one for the novelty and hope that making paint jobs like this mean we'll see more neat paint jobs in the future. Quote
Agent-GHQ Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 Where in SDF:Macross did that appear? 418713[/snapback] It didn't. That's from the Daicon IV film. 418716[/snapback] What's a Daicon IV film? Quote

Also, I'm freaking glad I didn't make a custom angel, now. And there's no way in hell I'll be able to afford one of these --- i'd rather have a VF0A. Quote

Screech Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 Iunno, it needs a briefcase.... Make it a blue one. Quote
Chowser Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 make it this one maybe i should sell my 1A Max-TV custom to finance these new ones.... Quote
Godzilla Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 make it this one maybe i should sell my 1A Max-TV custom to finance these new ones.... 419276[/snapback] Ohh. I may have to buy from you. Cut down my soon to be custom requests from Kurt. Oh yeah, I need the briefcase too. Quote

crasis Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 While the Angel Birds scheme does nothing for me, kudos to those who have been wanting this for years. I have to say, though...I am more than a bit puzzled as to why something like this would get made before a TV Max VF-1A or DYRL Max VF-1S... Or even some re-issue action with TV Max and Millia VF-1Js...? Where's the Jenius love, Yamato?! Quote
Screech Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 (edited) make it this one maybe i should sell my 1A Max-TV custom to finance these new ones.... 419276[/snapback] Ah.. Heckler und Koch Maschinenpistole Fünf. Sehr gut! Edited July 25, 2006 by Screech Quote
baronv Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 I'm gonna have to say I wish they made the Angel Bird VF in the 1/60 scale and I would have bought it since I primarily keep it in fighter mode. Would be easier on the wallet too since the next Yamato after I just bought the 1/48 Roy and Stealth is the new YF-19. Quote
connor99 Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 Great news! Thanks for the info, guys! Can't wait to get me a DYRL KAKIZAKI ! Quote

Man, I wonder how it feels to wield such a powerful torture device~ 419566[/snapback] We should MW hit squad. We capture him and take him to a secret base in the middle of the Gobi desert, where we do all sorts of nasty things to him with TFs and Gundam Wing Toys. I'm all for instituitionalised torture. We nab him while we're in an antipersonnel vehicle, him having guns and crap will be meaningless. Edited July 26, 2006 by kensei Quote
