miriya Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 I wonder if Yamato will include an extra Nora figure with her little boobies hanging out? Oh I do hope so! If not someone here can sculpt one and sell to the members!
David Hingtgen Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 We could also use it to repaint into a Milia.
Kicker773 Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 damn i am so getting one.. no preorders yet i guess..
IAD Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 *edit* Is it just me or are those stripes gold instead of yellow? Well, if you want to get picky... What's with the magenta on the thrust-vector paddles?! Still, I love the sculpt. ~Luke
eugimon Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Dang, I wasn't a fan of the nora paint scheme... until now.
Dante74 Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 I just noticed there's another pic on toyskingdom. The stripes really are gold.
Dante74 Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 And some more on Tokyohunters flickr site. http://www.flickr.com/photos/18251255@N00/1100281433/
David Hingtgen Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Hey, I'm sure this is what Kawamori says Nora's plane REALLY looks like. It just looks pink and yellow because of the animators. And Yamato has no plans to issue a more anime-accurate version in the future. Probably with a daisy-cutter...
eugimon Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 I wonder if they needed the the yellow to be that color to keep the magenta from bleeding through? Luckily for me, I wasn't a fan of the color scheme to begin with, so as long as it looks good, I'm there.
Ghostkiller Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 hihi the color looks bad IMO never been a big fan anyway of nora's color scheme gold does not look good on it so I will pass on that one
Fly4victory Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Some pictures looks good and others . At least those gold marking are painted and not stickers. I still can not stop looking at my Hasegawa SV-51. If using gold paint perhaps the base purple should be metal flake also. Really make Nora high vis.

I agree, if the yellow is a metallic gold it makes the molded in magenta look really awful.
Hayabusa Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 (edited) The color would probably look like that because of the camera flash or lighting. If you were to actually see the model at the show, I'm sure the colors are more favorable. Then again the Macross 0 Line up is almost complete right? We are just missing out the SV-51 cannon fodder colors, the VF-0D, and the Shin VF-0D. Sigh...definitely ordering a fleet of this one so I can repaint as a Russian scheme!

Twoducks Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Woo Hoo! Nora scheme has my money! I might even panel line this one; I'm sure it'll meke it look even better.
mustang1 Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Man! Just been on the forum for a couple of weeks and I don't know how I ever got by without it. All this inside stuff you guys come across... I didn't even know that they were going to release a Nora... That is some really great news I just wonder how I'm gonna pay for all the great stuff! J.
scand Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 (edited) Ok just because I like to scan threads for pics and not actually read anything I think these should go here! I didn't notice this before but check out the sketch of the yf-21 in the background. Edited August 13, 2007 by scand
Ghostkiller Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Hello ok this is just ugly metallic brown gold on Pink plastic it looks wrong guys and it has nothing to do with the flash ........
eugimon Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 bah, the previous post made it look really nice. there's definitely some camera related distortion going on.
mechaninac Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 (edited) I definitely like Ivanov's ( got one on pre-order) and the CF scheme on the SV-51, but Nora's... not so much. The gold on the magenta airframe looks paradoxically cheap (like Bandai's VF-19 Kai cheap), and far too toyish (it is a toy, I know ) for my taste. I think that solid, or even translucent, yellow would have looked far better. As for camera flash affecting how it looks, the magenta is definitely affected (the darker image is far more flattering), but the gold just goes from bright metallic to dark, rusty, brown, and unappealing either way. And I agree that the SV-51 just screams to be given some Russian paint schemes, specially SU-27 inspired ones. Edited August 13, 2007 by mechaninac
Ghostkiller Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 I agree it deserves a classical su-27 camo the photos of my lovely flanker http://img390.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc02083te3.jpg http://img299.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc02081dj0.jpg http://img299.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc02080aa5.jpg such camo on the SV-51 would be great don't you think ???
scand Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 I don't think Yamato would really go with the gold look. Keep in mind this it is probably the combination of this being a prototype and bad camera flash. This is what I hope it ends up looking like. I think this is more anime acurate.

baronv Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 I do hope that that gold trim is just for the prototype and goes back to the yellow color scand noted. I also hope that the color is not that pinkish and that the flash from the camera made the coloring look so light.
miriya Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 (edited) I think that the lighting was bad in some of those photos and that the gold would turn out nice if it is displayed with the right lighting. This photo made it look really great IMO.... And I am definitely getting one, even if I have to sell my . . . guitar. Edited August 13, 2007 by miriya
miriya Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 The color must be off on that camera. Just look at the color of the YF-19!
Vic Mancini Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 I don't know about you guys, but around my parts we call "metallic brown" bronze. Sorry to all the Nora fans. That scheme doesn't look like it was pulled off very well. The problem is that the yellow accents are supposed to highlight the deep magenta, while in Yamato's case the bronze accents are actually darker than the magenta instead of being lighter than the magenta like they are supposed to be, which reverses the highlight effect. Not good. Maybe it's the lighting, although I doubt it. And now I've got the mental image of a YF-21 with dark gold/bronze accents stuck in my head. Stick with yellow, Yamato.
Guest sh002 Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 both sv-51's look great. can't wait for early bird preorder for nora type.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 wtf, Nora looks brilliant! Yellow or Gold i don't care it's mine for Christmas.
nightmareB4macross Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Can't wait for these to get in. I think I really need to look into some really nice shelves to house these war birds.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 (edited) What have we got for releases in between the YF-21? We got the Ghost standalone, Roy, and Roy+Ghost combo, and then what... Nora? Nothing else till the 21? I guess yamato should slow down and make sure everything is ready for the 21's release. I'm happy with Nora b4 the 21. That and the Revoltech VF-1's coming every so months it's really a dream come true. Especially knowing the 21 is coming! Edited August 13, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
drifand Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Simple... release a gold-trim 'realistic' version, then if demand warrants it, re-release in 'anime accurate' colors. Profit!
