misterryno Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Needs red stripes on the wings still... Note that Grand Admiral wrote this in the first post of this topic... "Ok, actually Chris didn't want me to completely disassemble his VF-1 to be able to properly tape and paint the wings and fuselage, so we skipped it. He didn't mind having black stripes instead of red." Quote
VFTF1 Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Two points: 1. A brilliant job. I could never do something that accurate. 2. I hate G1 Jetfire's color scheme and generally don't like seeing the VF used as a TF...err...despite my...ummm....err....name... VF...TF...1....damn ... Quote
Grand Admiral Posted December 13, 2007 Author Posted December 13, 2007 Thanks. He recently got some of the Revoltech VF-1s and he wants to make a Jetfire, so I'm trying to get him to bring his 1/48 back so I can fix the wings. Quote
Grand Admiral Posted February 21, 2008 Author Posted February 21, 2008 Update: Back in January I suggested to my friend Chris that I paint his Jetfire so it had the proper stripes. I neglected to use primer when painting, and I ended up with a big mess of red paint oozing into areas I had taped off. Long story short, I repainted the entire thing, and made sure all the little paint details were like G1 Jetfire. The "backpack" is red because on the original, there is a red piece that snaps over the "backpack" to hold the boosters. Since the 1/48 Yamato doesn't require this piece, I decided to paint only the underside of the backpack red to simulate the look. The top side is white. Chris took the FAST packs home with him, so I'll have to get more photos once everything is back together. New pics: Quote

Yeah are you right.... damm, my JetFire had like a gazillion confirmed kills due to the massive amount of dogfights throughout the years of my childhood Man... she was a good fighterplane! - Jin Quote
Grand Admiral Posted March 1, 2008 Author Posted March 1, 2008 Yesterday I was able to put the finishing touches on the boosters and leg armor, so now Masterpiece Jetfire has all his pieces. "I call him Mini-me." Quote
