GreatMoose Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) Is the Yammie 1/60 25th Anniversary YF-19 molded in black, or is it paint? I'm going to try to remove some of the gold, but want to keep the black as it is. Any thoughts? Edited January 29, 2009 by GreatMoose Quote
jardann Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) I could be wrong since I don't actually have one, but I think the kit is black, and the gold is all decals. So just don't use the decals and you should have what you want with no fuss. I'm assuming you are talking about the model kit. If you are thinking of the Yamato toy, then I have no idea about how that is decorated. Edited January 29, 2009 by jardann Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 If you're referring to the 1/60, it is molded in black. the gold can be removed with a bit of elbow grease. Quote
edwin3060 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 The model kit, on the other hand, is dark blue and not black Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Is the 25th Anniversary YF-19 molded in black, or is it paint? I'm going to try to remove some of the gold, but want to keep the black as it is. Any thoughts? Yammie: Molded black, trim-painted gold. Others: I dunno... Quote
GreatMoose Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 yeah, scale and manufacturer would've been helpful, right? Thanks! Quote
Excillon Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I used a small amount of rubbing alcohol (diluted) to remove tampo printing on an Alternator Smokescreen once, don't know if that helps but it worked good, looked real clean afterwards. Quote
edwin3060 Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 yeah, scale and manufacturer would've been helpful, right? Thanks! There are 2 25th Anniversay YF-19s out there, the 1/60 Yamato which is black with gold tampo printing, and the 1/72 Hasegawa which is dark blue with gold decals. Quote
Mog Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I forgot who it was, but I believe someone on this board painted over the gold lettering with some black Citadel paint. Posted a pic of it too. Regarding the Citadel paints, you can usually find small bottles of them at a hobby or comic store, especially if they specialize in those Warhammer minatures. Quote
