1/48 1982-VF-2007 Spirit Of Valkyrie

[TheLoneWolf]

Yuck! Kawamori, put that bong away!

The VF-1 color's look like a rejected Jetfire color scheme. I'm also not a fan of the "Spirit of Valkyrie" and "1982-VF-2007" decals printed on them.

They definitely look hand painted, but I'd say they're mock-ups for the real deal.

[Fred_Scuttle]

My Eyes!!!!!

The GOGGLES - THEY DO NOTHING!!!!!!!!

[striderhiryu]

i think it is a color scheme to help the valk survive the radiation of reflex weapons.

[Knight26]

Until I see something from Graham and or Yamato I am going with these are fan painted

[gilermo]

evil knievel has his own macross collection

[Chowser]

The VF in fighter mode looks FAT with that paint scheme.

ARgh, no, Supernova and Stealth please...

So....maybe Kakizaki is piloting it?

It doesn't look just fat, it looks hideous.

[Lonely Soldier Boy]

Here's a couple of suggestion to Yamato for future VF-1 scemes. They're from Macross 7, so they're even cannon. They sure look a lot better than the topic scheme.

I'm all for the Clown Sheme.

If these are really future release items. Well all I can say is There will be loads of Cheap 1/48`s in the bargain bin for all you custom painters out there.

I’ve been pretty swamped at work since coming back from Tokyo Anime Fair 07, and I’m working on a write up and tons of pictures to post up. Until then here are some pictures of the 25th Anniversary 1/48 VF-1J and YF-19 paint scheme. They were put on display at Satelight ’s booth on public day.

Thanks for the pics. Can't say i'm really 100% behind those paint schemes, but i have to give em credit for doing such a clean job on them.

Side note: can't believe you changed your avatar man! Can't complain about the new one though.

[eugimon]

We've been ranting about these pics over at this thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...22067&st=40

Are these official? or just a custom job gone awry?

Hahah not to worry Indy will come back, when I get the full pic of the booth babes up.

And Sorry I should have look for a similar thread before posting this one.

[MasterOfPuppets]

Spirit of Vakylie? These are sure to sell like hotcakes.

[Sumdumgai]

Personally I think they would look better covered in space-whale blood. But that's just me.

Seriously they make me think of the Jetfire VF-1 Transformers toy.

[Warmaker]

These paint schemes for the YF-19 and VF-1 look far too "busy." They're cluttered with paint patterns that seem random.

Not liking the look of those.

[eugimon]

I'm putting my bet with fan custom... my reason is the FLIR sensors on the YF-19 are painted green instead of a translucent green plastic.

[treatment]

dude, thnx for the pix, but...

those particular paint-schemes were already damn fugly in the other thread.

they're still damn fugly in this thread.

they just wasted a number of pretty good valks on those hideous monstrosity of a paint-scheme.

i call shenanigans!

If Yamato decides to make these Limited Edition (which they should). It'll sell like hot cakes.

limited edition... as in limited to those in the display?

[Dante74]

From Graham's report on the main page.

Yamato are planning other non-canon repaint schemes for the YF-19, including possibly a low visibility version and an all new color scheme especially designed by Mr. Kawamori.

Maybe this is Kawamori's design.

If so, then I think he might be experimenting with some new type of drug.

[ruskiiVFaussie]

No WAY will these... monstrocities grace my perfect Macross cabinent....

Really let down you know, 25 years and what? Looks like a Ice Cream wrapper slapped onto Valks....

I think i'll wait for the 30th year.

It's weird how that mess of a scheme makes the VF-1 almost look like a compleatly different bird. Like the angel bird, PASS.

Definitely need more booth babe pics, because the one in your avatar is HOT.

[ruskiiVFaussie]

Angel Bird looks helluvalot better than this Streets Cornetto.

[Valkyrie addict]

thanks a lot for the pics and effort man

but I don't like them, it's too cheerie for my taste

[mister_e]

This is probably a fan design. I doubt this is the Kawamori design that Graham mentioned, what with Valkyrie being misspelled and all. I should hope that by now Kawamori knows how to spell Valkyrie

I just saw that!!

[recon]

Gosh, the colors are really distasteful, if yamato wishes to release something special for the 25th Anniversary 1/48 or 1/60, please do something thats nice and symbollic...for e.g. a minmay guard would be nice.

[Busted VF1A]

NOOOOOOO!

My eyes, they hurt with the pain of a thousand bee stings...

[Valkyrie addict]

I just saw that!!

haha, talk about a goof!

[Sakura Shinguji]

I do not know why, but the paint schemes remind of shoes...

Nike Air Max 95

Nike Air Force One

[penachoy]

When I go jogging at night I will remind myself to strap two on my hips! Nice reflectors!

But I'm definitely going to get both if they become official....sorry I'm a nutty completes.

[Aegis!]

The YF-19 doesn´t look half bad, as long as you keep those stickers away from it.

The 1J on the other hand...

I´m really curious to know if this is the suppossed special Kawamori paint scheme for the 25th anniversay, if so then the HFH is into much harder drugs than I thought.

You know what they should do ? make the 25th anniversary paint scheme a pure gold (paint) and black VF-1S.
