1/48 Armored Parts for Valkyrie (Standard Blue)

[Decon]

I've noticed most people display 1/48 Armored Parts for Valkyrie with Hikaru VF-1J. I don't see any put a Roy VF-1S in it....Why is that?

[mister_e]

Probably because the GBP only ever appeared in the anime on a VF-1J. That doesn't mean you have to do it that way yourself though

That'll be because in the anime it was only used on a VF-1J. In Macross on Hikaru / Rick's, and in DYRL on a VF-1J with an alarming resemblance, but Hikaru is in a VF-1S at that point IIRC.

Once I pick up a 1/48th GBP it'll be going on one of my Roy -1S's. Partly because I don't have a Hikaru-1J to put it on, but even if I did I would probably still put it on the -1S, I think it looks quite neat on there and I don't worry too much about anime accuracy in things like that. I figure that somewhere in the Macross universe a -1S has stomped about with GBP on, and that is a good enough justification for me. :-)

I've had it on every valk I've owned at one point... and have pics to prove it

[Lonewolf]

Well my GBP-1s IS on Hikaru's TV VF-1J.

The GBP-1S is the only reason I got myself a VF-1J. Otherwise I'd be happy with only my DYRL Hikaru VF-1S with Strike Parts.

[Decon]

Ok you guys convinced me!

I'm putting my order in for Hikaru VF-1J!

[JEXPRIME]

I have a set on Hikaru and one one some cannon fodder

[KLAM]

It can be also used on VF-1A

I assume that's from DYRL?

[JEXPRIME]

its a scene from DYRl on ps2 game

[MilSpex]

Nice screen from DYRL Playstation. I thought the Saturn version was enough to own but now I need the Playstation version aswell!

I definately want to outfit a few CF 1As with standard blue GPB-1S armor I think.

But can anyone actually confirm that CF 1As were seen fighting in GPB-1S armor during the final confrontation with Bodolza in the original series? (My animeigo DVDs are in another country right now)

Reason I`m asking is I don`t consider DYRL or games derived from it canon and I want to outfit my guys as close to canon as possible

VF-1J Hikaru all the way, canon or non canon it looks cool.

Well, that is canon because Hikaru definately piloted a VF-1J with GPB armor during the TV series.

Where? Ive been trying to find one for awhile!

[Knightdramon]

Seriously, ALL 1/48 valkyries besides the C.F. and LV I are in stock at hlj for well over five months

[Scream Man]

Ah, the FP version of the 1J Hikaru isnt, and thats what I'm looking for

[Graham]

Although I display my blue (TV) GBP with the VF-1J Hikaru, I display the Urban camo GBP with the VF-1S Focker.

Somehow the Urban camo sceme just looks better on a VF-1S.

My woodland camo GBP is still sitting in its box.

[kensei]

I agree. The urban really looks good, I think the white, black and yellow accents make it go so well with it.

[ruskiiVFaussie]

Well, that is canon because Hikaru definately piloted a VF-1J with GPB armor during the TV series.

I totally already knew that. I was just saying that the 1J should be bought coz it's cool,

not just coz it's canon in the GBP.
