Solscud007 Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Here is my Fokker Weathering Special. Just came in. hand delivered from japan, thanks to my friend's girlfriend. When you remove the blue cummerbund and lift the box flap, you will see this piece of paper that details that this is a special edition and says that the decals are different. I have yet to actually translate this. And here is the Valk: Gerwalk Mode: Battroid Mode: And as a little tease TH on weathered 1S!!!!!! Quote

Roy's Blues Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 I am curious about the smugging as well. Did you sticker it up before you took pictures, or is that how it is out box? Quote
misterryno Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Did you sticker it up before you took pictures, or is that how it is out box? From the looks of it........it looks like that's tampo print and not stickers. Quote
Vegas Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 i was looking on mine too but i think the white missiles were not weathered atleast mine looked it wasnt Quote
Solscud007 Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) I am curious about the smugging as well. Did you sticker it up before you took pictures, or is that how it is out box? that is how it looks out of the box. Ok so I had my gf briefly read the chinese characters. it seems the "weathering" is hand painted. and the decals are had applied from yamato. i was looking on mine too but i think the white missiles were not weathered atleast mine looked it wasnt hmm mine are not white though as usual white missles. they are a sort of off white color. The only other valk I have to reference is my Hikaru VF-1S, which i dont have here with me, but i remember them being white vs the weathering version is off white.

So, they are just stickers and not tampo printed markings?! Lame. For what they want for this, you would think they would tampo print everything. Quote

For what they want for this, you would think they would tampo print everything. well they are water slides. really well done water slides. if I can borrow my buddy's D-SLR I can use his macro lens and see if I can show you how good it really is.

Nani?! Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Looking at those last two pics, it looks a bit too smokey... Meh... Quote

Solscud007 Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) Here are some more pics Decal close ups. I used a lupe/loop. I put the loop over my POS Sony Point and shoot camera and VOILA!!! Instant macro. Missiles!!! Edited May 30, 2008 by Solscud007 Quote
Jasonc Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 I got mine a few days ago from one of our fav. macrossworld Japan residents. I can say that i am thoroughly happy with this rendition. It's got that look like it's been in a few skirmishes. Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Further proof that VF-1 looks better in grey. Quote
Neova Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Can someone scan the blue sleeve at 600 DPI for the rest of us? I want to mock up my own custom weathered VF-1 squardron set. At the original price, it was a deal! At the ebay prices, better to buy one from Kurt, Jung or other customizers instead for the level of quality with custom decals. Quote
