Kyp Durron Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Who's going to be doing a custom paint job?? I'm seriously considering painting the yellow markings either flat black, or flat white. I won't know if I'll do anything at all with it until I finally get it in hand. For all I know, I may just end up being happy with it as it is. -Kyp
Wicked Ace Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Who's going to be doing a custom paint job?? Mog has one in the works.
Ignacio Ocamica Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 What about this Fokker scheme I found in a Korean blog? I like it!!
Vegas Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 What about this Fokker scheme I found in a Korean blog? I like it!! those were nice.....i wonder what it would look like with hikaru dyrl colors
Sumdumgai Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Nice, but the intakes should be black, not red. The red makes it look funky.
sqidd Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Nice, but the intakes should be black, not red. The red makes it look funky. I agree, it's not "balanced" correctly
Mog Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 If he was going for a Roy scheme, I'd personally prefer if he used white instead of grey. Plus I think the intakes would look better in grey or black with the original yellow trim. Looks okay though. P.S.--Wicked Ace is right: I am working on a custom right now. I'm about halfway done with the painting. But I still need to paint the nose/cockpit/cowl sections and the intake areas. .....And re-attach all the major areas back together again (Legs, arms, and gunpods are all separately reassembled. Backpack is partially reassembled.) ....And pray that there is no major paint-chipping. .....And hope that someone can print up some stickers I've designed.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Going to the macross con 08 to show it off are we?
Mog Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 ^^Probably still gonna be working on it............I know, I know. (I'm guessing final assembly, panel lining, and stickering up around the time of the con). I'll be out on vacation for about a week between now and the MW con too. Don't worry; I'll post pics for sure once the bird is all dolled up.
diabloM Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 about the wings...no locking mechanism? will it be loosened easily?
Kyp Durron Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 about the wings...no locking mechanism? will it be loosened easily? Some have reported them being a bit floppy and others have said they stay upright reasonably well. I think it's sort of pot luck in that reguard. Nothing that some clear fingernail polish won't fix if need be. -Kyp
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 awesome avatar Kyp. Did you make it yourself??
Dobber Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 awesome avatar Kyp. Did you make it yourself?? I was just admiring that myself! Chris
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 It's like you could watch it for hours... without blinking! We gotta do one up with Isamu and Guld afte the dogfight (before the Ghost X-9 spoils the moment).

One of the users made it in the MF Episode 12 talk back thread and I quickly saved it and used it for my avatar. On topic : Maybe sometime this week Kevin will get those YF-21's in hand. -Kyp Edited June 30, 2008 by Kyp Durron
myk Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 On topic : Maybe sometime this week Kevin will get those YF-21's in hand. You guys are still waiting on that shipment?
Kyp Durron Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 You guys are still waiting on that shipment? Yes, sadly we are.... No offense to Kevin, I know this isn't his fault, but I'm never getting anything shipped by boat ever again. It's just not worth it in my opinion.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) Although it sux, i'll keep ordering with Kev, this really is a one off problem, it's just that they decided to annoy us this time. I'm unusually patient anyways.. Edited July 1, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie

eugimon Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Yes, sadly we are.... No offense to Kevin, I know this isn't his fault, but I'm never getting anything shipped by boat ever again. It's just not worth it in my opinion. try waiting 4 months... I did that for my SV-51 (not through kevin)

PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) XD. I knew it would be difficult to hide it from you guys. I'm going to start working on the prototypes and should hopefully have some progress pics by the end of next week the latest. Edited July 2, 2008 by PsYcHoDyNaMiX
