TheLoneWolf Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 Wow oh WOW! Now THAT'S how a cockpit should be done! Dare I say, Yamato has given Hasegawa a run for it's money! Graham, any word if the 1/48 reissues will feature similiarly enhanced DYRL cockpits? As for the 1/60 GBP, where did they get those hands from? ARII?! Quote
Mr March Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 Hmmmm........very sweeeet , so when will it be release, I mean anyone know the exact date?Just sold my 1/48 VF1-A Hikaru for this one and I think it is well worth it. Now just waiting on those decals I ordered recently from anasazi37. Damn, that's what I'm trying to do...sell my VF-1A 1/48 Yammie. Gotta make room for my new VF-1J with FAST Packs Quote
danster69 Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 Has the cockpit been resculpted to make it shorter? Cuz i know many were clompaining it was too long. Quote
Graham Posted October 29, 2003 Author Posted October 29, 2003 Has the cockpit been resculpted to make it shorter? Cuz i know many were clompaining it was too long. No, the cockpit has not been made shorter. That's the first I've heard about people complaining it was too long. Graham Quote

That's the first I've heard about people complaining it was too long. Graham I think he ment the nose, as the Yamato is quite a deal more endowed than most other valks. Quote
Bub Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 Thanks for the pics Graham! And Happy Birthday!! Quote
Commander McBride Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 Hmm, I'm really not seeing the differences in the cockpit.... Quote
Graham Posted October 29, 2003 Author Posted October 29, 2003 Hmm, I'm really not seeing the differences in the cockpit.... It's only the addition of the joystick and the seat headrest, which is more curved that are different. The rest is the same. Graham Quote

TheFrenchOne Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 Thks 4 the pics & happy BDay ! The box of the 1J seems really awesome, i hope that Yamato will forget 4 ever the total black scheme of the first ones. Quote

LOL....Yamato 1/48, the John Holmes of Valkyries Graham I dunno, the 1/60's nosecone is about the same length, but overly thin instead of overly thick. Both are longer than the Bandai 1/55ths, and that poor, poor VF-11...even it's FAST packs don't make up for it's shortcomings.... Quote
kidkorrupt Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 the hands and pilots are looking much much better Quote
Draykov Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 (edited) I think he ment the nose, as the Yamato is quite a deal more endowed than most other valks. I chalk that perception up to fans with "Chunky Monkey Syndrome." Edited October 29, 2003 by Draykov Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 Hmm, I'm really not seeing the differences in the cockpit.... Agreed, it still has the DYRL cockpit design instead of the TV cockpit design. You can easily see that the pilot figure left hand is positione to grip the top of the throttle and not the side. The two side throttle and flight sticks should have been removed for a TV designed cockpit as well as the cockpit monitor. Where are those quality control guys . Quote
muswp1 Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 (edited) I thought that the VF-1 used a side console mounted control stick, not a central mounted control stick?? Also that painted GBP-1J looks too glossy, but other than that looks pretty cool. Edited October 31, 2003 by muswp1 Quote
Graham Posted October 31, 2003 Author Posted October 31, 2003 I thought that the VF-1 used a side console mounted control stick, not a central mounted control stick?? The TV cockpit has a centrally mounted joystick for fighter mode, located between the pilots's legs and a throttle on the left side of the cockpit. For Battroid & Gerwalk modes, there are also two separate controllers for operating the arms/hands, located just below the left and right bottom edge of the instrument panel. The DYRL cockpit uses two sidestick controllers only, located at the left and right side of the cockpit. the right controller functions as the joystick/right arm control. The left stick functions as the throttle/left arm control. Both sticks also have many buttons for contolling various functions such as weapons, radar etc. Graham Quote
tom64ss Posted November 4, 2003 Posted November 4, 2003 (edited) Hikaru's got some big hands to match his Valk's. You know what they say about guys with big hands. So that's why he's got two girls wandering through space with him. Edited November 4, 2003 by tom64ss Quote
Lightning Posted November 4, 2003 Posted November 4, 2003 hey, the left hand is on the throttle too, neato! Quote
