Some of the artwork was lifted from the masters already published in books or CDs, etc... Other ones seem to be new works.

Who knows what will come out for the VF-27 after it gets released?

Hopefully, Grace art. :)

i would want the q-rea to come with a separate poseable macronized and micronized klan klan. that would be cool to display next to other valkyries.

is the frontier ghost the same size as the macross plus ghost?

I know this is going back a few pages, but I posted up the colours for the Mikhail VF-25G kit (somewhere around post 400). I finally got my kit and am really impressed with it! The level of engineering and design that went into this is just incredible. Granted, my only comparison for transforming kits is an Imai Legioss, so it's not a fair fight...

Anyway, I've got a request, now that I've got colours that are accurate, I need to know where to put them.

Can someone take a bit of time to translate the headings for each colour (IE "blue part of main body" ect...)? Anyone...? Anyone...? Vifam7...? ;)

Here's original:

And the one that's got the colours but no headings translated:

HobbySearch has a detailed pic of wing/backplate hinge reinforcement for ArmorPacks on battroid mode:

Is that a new connection piece for Action Base? :huh:

thanks for the pics cf18

these extras are very much needed

hope some of them work for the super parts config too

@CF18: What issue of Model Graphix is that, please?

I've been finishing my VF-25F for almost 2 weeks. I put all the parts together and since then it's been nothing but adding small details, hope to be finished by the end of this week, i'll post some photos by then.

In the meantime i started putting the RVF-25 together.. Big question: F and S canopies are bluish purple, G is blue. But what have you guys been using for the canopy of the RVF?

Posted
This Model Graphic scan shows all the extra pieces.

So, will you be unable to cover the canopy with the back-plate in battroid mode? I can't help it, that makes the 25 look very odd - with it's pilot visibly in its butt.

Hi guys,

Luca took me few days to finish it especially applying the decal. Great kit and amazing details. Love it a lot and will surely shoot more photos later.

RVF- canopy should be yellow, IIRC.

Re: VF-25G boxart: I guess they ret-conned the design to make the DX toy more accurate, rofl.

VF-25F Final Build Update:

It's finaly done. After months of slow, sometimes grueling work (not because of the kit but my poor modeling skills) and a lot of trial and error, the VF-25F now sits proud in its SMS base on the still empty shelf where soon, hopefully, it will be joined by the rest of SMS's Skull Squadron. Here are some pics of this beautiful bird. If i ever bring myself to transform it i will post pics of Gerwalk and Battroid modes. For now i just want to enjoy a work well done (by my standards, at least).

I have already started assembly of the RVF-25 and i must say that the 2nd time around it gets easier. The experience gained from assembling the F reflects in this new build. The inicial fear that i had back when i started this is gone and, hopefully, the mistakes i made during this build will allow the next to go smoother and faster.

In the end, this is an amazing kit and deserves a bit of extra work, other than just assembling it straight out of the box. And trust me, it pays of. If a noob like me can do it, anyone can. :lol:

Nice work Westfall! Did you use decal or sticker?

Thanks. I used mostly stickers, but not all of them. Some details were painted, like the white stripes on the head and the exagonal shoulder pieces (only visible in the othe modes), et cetera.

Hi,

I just started assembling my Messiah Valkyrie Alto Custom and would like to ask you about the color for the head antennas. Default they are white and I like to paint them but don't know which color to choose.

Posted

Thats some good work done there westfall :)

meanwhile,

bandai has released new product pics of the armored vf-25s

you can see a new display stand connector for the jet mode

from the side profile, the gun pod seems to hang REALLY low

the wings look insanely heavy, the legs too

can the hip and knee joints still hold poses on the display stand??? i wonder

and how much stress can the wing joints take?

things were already bad enough with the super parts... and now this

From the side profile, it looks both overweight, and pregnant!

I know...the fighter mode looks so overloaded!

The battroid is good though! but also wonder how long it will take to become an overall floppy mess, or worse, start cracking, definitely to display in one mode only, a waste considering it does actually transform into all 3 modes, but just not worth the risk and the inevitable damage to the finish.

Posted (edited)

LMAO.

Man if I was that fighter plane I would be saying 'STOP STRAPPING ALL THIS JUNK TO ME'

It does surprise me though that the hip joints are naturally strong enough to hold up all the leg armor. I was expecting to have to lay down coats of clearcoat to stiffen it up.

The arm in Gerwalk too has barely any room to move. But I gotta admit, I love it cause its so ridiculous. Overkill is right, although even in that picture, he's not even wielding his gunpod and reaction missiles.

Also uhhh... From the side profile, does this thing have any hope of being able to have its landing gear deployed? Look how far down the gunpod is!

I don't think so, that's why you NEED a stand

4543112587657_i16.jpg

look how the gunpod's tip is hanging even lower than the nose gear?

4543112587657_i17.jpg

from the side profile the problem is more apparent.

I wonder how they did the previous pictures with gears down...maybe the gunpod was not installed for those pictures? In any case, it would have a very pronounced nose-down attitude anyway.

I like model aircraft with gears down, but I guess Armored VF-25 will be a Battroid-only model if I eventually buy it. I was quite sure I would, but now that I see this pictures (presumably for the box art), I am not so sure anymore.

Posted (edited)

Since the landing gears are the swap type, lengthening the landing gears shouldn't be too difficult a mod if one wants to display with gears down. Personally, with all those parts on, I think it'll look too weird sitting on it's landing gears. This is definitely something I'll get a stand for.

Yea I was going to give it a stand in Gerwalk mode, so I don't mind at all... But like I said, I'm buying it for how ridiculously overkill it is... and the fact that it is so packed that it could never land just lends to that characteristic. :D

Posted

i like the "its me against the whole world" vibes it gives

its astounding that this thing can even transform with all that armor

remember the old GBP armored VF-1 could only do battroid mode
