General Chaos Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Thanks guys, I will take that under advisement. While I am asking about manuals how does the Armoured manual work?
mickyg Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) My request is for anyone who might have figured out Which Tamiya blue or combination of blue is the most suitable for Michael's VF-25G? Check out my buildup in the "building/customizing macross models and toys" section. Shortcut though, it's a combo of bright blue mixed with violet, according to the instructions (check out post number 4). And it matches the coloured plastic, almost exactly.

azrael Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 While I am asking about manuals how does the Armoured manual work? The Armored kits are full kits, not expansion kits. The manual covers the entire step of building the base VF-25 model with the Armored packs.
the_foul_fowl Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 So it's a two-seater... interesting. MF's homage to the VF-1D, colors make sense too.
Hikuro Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 cool, got notice on my 25G, now the waiting game. Hopefully my RVF and my G will show up at the sametime.
Graham Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 So it's a two-seater... interesting. MF's homage to the VF-1D, colors make sense too. All VF-25 are capable of having a second seat fitted. Graham
azrael Posted July 21, 2009 Author Posted July 21, 2009 All VF-25 are capable of having a second seat fitted. But the models are molded with the second seat folded away. This description of the "YF-25" model sounds like it will come with the second seat in the upright position.
electric indigo Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Someone needs to make a 1/100 Ranka figure in pilot gear.
shiroikaze Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Did they ever announce VF-25G and RVF-25 bundled with super packs? cool, got notice on my 25G, now the waiting game. Hopefully my RVF and my G will show up at the sametime. Ugh, good job USD to JPY ratio, it's like paying full price with free shipping.
azrael Posted July 22, 2009 Author Posted July 22, 2009 Did they ever announce VF-25G and RVF-25 bundled with super packs? Nope. AFAIK, they will not be re-bundled with Super parts.
miriya Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 OK, That is cool. Also all the custom decals are killer.
anime52k8 Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 As I figured, it's a mold milker. And there's a problem with that? I think it looks sweet. Also the Klan illustration looks SO hot.
electric indigo Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 At least they did throw in a handful of new parts instead of just a new paintjob. I like the new head design.
Kelsain Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) I think the new head is pretty cool. Kind of between the RVF & the G. As for the decals, now all we need are better scans of Kathy! (or Cathy, w/e) Edited July 23, 2009 by Kelsain
cobywan Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 I like it. Macross was always cool to me bacause of the standardized mech components.
alfye Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) As I figured, it's a mold milker. Yep, I´ll call it VF-25Y Some pics of my display, i´m working on Armored Ozma with ProShop clear ver. inner body. Plain VF-25S is glued on fighter mode and i´m very happy with the results, now it´s a sturdy plane: Edited July 24, 2009 by alfye
promethuem5 Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Mmmm... unbelievable Ranka AND small-Klan decals!
alfye Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Some info from NgeeKhiong about new Vf-25F Ranka ver. & VF-25G Kuran Ver http://ngeekhiong.blogspot.com/2009/07/hmm...ong-others.html
Cent Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 ............ Man. I'm sorry, but those decals look like ass. Here's the problem. When you wanna do itashas, you have to make it look classy with the characters. You have one large decal piece of a portrait of the featured character, and a consistent simple paint scheme that matches it. The way its done here involves 5-7 different portraits of the same character, sloppily placed over the plane's existing paint scheme, regardless of whether or not the character's colors matches it. =/. They're everywhere all over the plane, and you're not even sure which decal to look at first. Honestly, they just need to release some larger single decals optimized for fighter mode, and whoever's applying it should probably repaint the entire plane to match the decal's color scheme. Its a lot of work, sure... But it'd look far better than this.
KOG Water Dragon Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Some info from NgeeKhiong about new Vf-25F Ranka ver. & VF-25G Kuran Ver http://ngeekhiong.blogspot.com/2009/07/hmm...ong-others.html So if I interpret correctly, these will be actual releases, not limited edition freebies that you have to scramble to get a copy of? Yay! It was rather a pain to get copies of the recent Armored VF-25F/VF-25S sheets. I paid $20 per sheet and had to buy them from an ebay seller in Malaysia... Being able to order these things as proper kits from a normal online shop like HLJ will be a relief.
Kelsain Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) ............ Man. I'm sorry, but those decals look like ass. Especially on Michel's G. I just like the artwork, I'll agree that the application is poo. Edited July 25, 2009 by Kelsain
anime52k8 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Especially on Michel's G. I just like the artwork, I'll agree that the application is poo. The really low res pic isn't helping things at all, looks like he just lost a paintball match. I just want a high res version of the illustration of klan in a bikini
ron5864 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 So I displayed Osma's VF-25S in Battroid mode holding the knife at my office for the first time. Since most folks there are way older than I am, the closest thing they can guess as to what it is was a Transformer. I said "Ahi ya! It is not a Transformer, it is a VF-25S from the Macross Frontier anime." Confused most walked away. The younger guys, upon seeing it, asked "Hey, that's a veritech fighter from Robotech?"

I just want a high res version of the illustration of klan in a bikini Even a High resolution picture would not help much, Definitely not something I'll be getting, even if Klan is in a Bikini!!

Paliodor Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Some info from NgeeKhiong about new Vf-25F Ranka ver. & VF-25G Kuran Ver http://ngeekhiong.blogspot.com/2009/07/hmm...ong-others.html Ita decals are nice but on those two kits they are looking like some kind of ugly graffiti. In my opinion, these decals are looking the best if they are only few of them on the kit...
DarkReaper Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 The VF-25G looks more like it flew through a flock of pigeons and they emptied their cloacas in fear.
Paliodor Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 The VF-25G looks more like it flew through a flock of pigeons and they emptied their cloacas in fear. Probably the best summary of this VF-25G
Guest sh002 Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 so far every valkyrie in the foreground and background of the boxart have been released as a model kit. i hope bandai makes a konig model kit. its in the background of the vf-25s armored boxart. the qrea which is not a valkyrie is in the background of the vf-25g boxart and it is being released later. connection or am i just thinking too much into it?
alfye Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 (edited) Connection, i think. Also, in central pages of Armored Ozma instructions booklet, we can see an image of Pixie Sqad EDIT Long time waiting for this moment: Edited July 26, 2009 by alfye
Hikuro Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 I got my Micheal VF-25G...wow I gotta paint those intake parts......dammit. I wonder if I got paint at all.
