1/60 YF-19 Fast Packs & Fold Booster

[eugimon]

!!! I love it!

[Sumdumgai]

That's awesome! You going to repaint the nose section too?

You going to repaint the nose section too?

edit: I should have added a fast pack and fold booster combo to keep this thread on topic -- my apologies.

Nothing's wrong with the nose. With my tastes I would paint the nose the same color as the body, but that's because I'd be going for a stealth 19, which wasn't your intention. It kicks @ss period.

Not exactly sure... but it looks alot like the IHP YF-19. -=X

That looks alot like this one featured in ModelGraphix:

I looked at this one for a while, but as much as I admire it, there are some things I'm not overjoyed with. The red and silver/gun metal, used on the -19 in the pic you've attached are too hot for what I'm going for.

Yea!!! That's it. I remember seeing the scheme from somewhere. I just recalled it being the IHP because of seeing the scheme recently on a resin kit (the IHP). XD

[Scream Man]

so yeah, anybody....the shoulder packs do what?

That is a nice scheme. Graham, are they still going to release a 25th Anni Valk to us? Is it too late or is it still coming?

HI GUYS

had my fast pack the other day

the magnets are pretty weak on the legs

I have checked inside the right leg and check the one on the fast pack

the magnets are correctly ajusted but the fast pack is pretty weak on the right side somehow

I have to say that it is pretty disappointing

will have to get new magnets

so no fast pack for me for the fighter mode as it does not stick well and bent outside

only the fold is displayed eventually

I put the fast pack on the second 19 that I have only for battroid mode

at least IMO the lights are pretty cool specially when you look at it from the front

[Graham]

The leg FAST packs could really do with 2 magnets each IMO.

I guess it couldnt have hurt, though minje seem to stay on fine. the only times they have come off have been in Battroid, and its usually just how I handle them that makes it happen. They never spontaneously fall.

[Kicker773]

its not really the magnets i believe, but when you slap on the FP on the valk mode, the chest area tends to show gaps and when you try and push it back in together to make it flush in the wing that are attached to the FP pulls out the Fp from the legs (which proves that part where the wing attaches to isn't a problem). Its just those freakn gaps that's bothering me =(

[Scream Man]

As I said in the other thread: I think its the connector pegs. I filed them downb a bit and they sit better now. Ill tyr n get pics Sunday afternoon (Im flat out till then)

[Lonely Soldier Boy]

Please post them. I'll add those pics to my "YF-19 mods and fixes" folder. That wasn't a bitter joke. I really have a folder with all the tweaks and fixes shown in these boards, so I have a perfect 19 when my toy arrive

[Kicker773]

ahah so do i =) i also have a folder for fixes.. please do.. i really hate those gaps

[Scream Man]

ok, ill take em as soon as i can.

To be fair, I have only checked they sit flush in battroid. but I dont see why it wont work in fighter too.

[sqidd]

Nice! Are you disassembling that before painting? I’m not asking because I am thinking of doing it. I have nowhere near the skill, experience or patience. Just curious.

if i ever purchase the FP set for the 19, i'll install additional magnets. though i haven't seen it, it should be quite simple. _________________________________________________________________________

and speaking of magnets, heres the back holster for the 19.

the magnet is installed in the slide section between the upper and lower halves of the 19(the spot where you can seperate the 2 sections) and it does not affect its transformation.

I know its kinda late, but here's my contribution to this thread :

[Vermillion21]

It's never too late to post some cool pics!

Thanks for sharing aaajin.

[Scream Man]

Is it just me, or is the FP version of the 19 somehow....cooler? Like, without the FPs? Its seems like a slightly lighter plastic, mine is sitting together tighter.... it just looks kinda sleeker. I cant explain it, but man it's cool!

Awesome battroid pics.

I have a gripe that I'll keep to myself because I don't want to start sounding like a broken record, or like Bob, but many of you can probably guess what I'm thinking.

My simple mind just can't bridge the gap.

you should tell us. We haven't had a proper flame war here since in a while.

[Vic Mancini]

Hmmm...I thought it would be more obvious. Maybe I'm not as annoying as I thought I was.

It's just that damn chest lock, or lack there of. You can see that the chest isn't pushed all the way down. And to all the, "I have no use for a chest lock because I don't hold my battroid upside down" types, it's clearly standing straight up in the pics. The chest probably came unlocked when aaajin positioned the arm to lean on the fold booster, and voila. It doesn't take much.

The lack of a chest lock is just such an oversight to me in what is otherwise a brilliant interpretation of the YF-19.

[eugimon]

oooh, that. yeah... I think the lack of a chest lock for battroid and gerwalk is something most everyone agrees is a sad oversight on yamato's part. well, mostly everyone...

[Sumdumgai]

I was going to jokingly say "use chewing gum", but considering that I'm going to buy a 19 sooner or later, it's something that I know will bother the crap out of me. Soooo, I won't make that joke.

[Vermillion21]

Yeah, where's BOB?

[Scream Man]

Meh. Lock doesnt bother me.

[Sumdumgai]

I just saw in (I think it was) Dengeki Hobby and one other magazine, pics of the Hasegawa 25th Anniversary valkyries. The 19 looks much better than the art we've seen of it. It's a really deep dark purple, as in almost black dark. It has gold accents, and it looks pretty cool. I'd probably buy a Yamato version of it if they did one.

[Lonewolf]

It's never too late to post some cool pics!

Thanks for sharing aaajin.

I have to agree, plus the YF-19 is just so damn cool.

[Scream Man]

Heres a question; can a second Isamu figure fit in the co-pilot seat of this?
