Excillon Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 > Just received my two YF-19 Prototypes 3 & 4. These definitely look very nice and the pics we've seen online thus far don't do it justice. Hell maybe I'm biased since I'm a huge YF-19 fan. Will post some pics. < That would be great. Money is tight now, and I'm a HUGE 19 fan...but the price is making me question if these two should be added to my collection. I hear you. I'm debating the same thing myself.
Uxi Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 I really wish they would do a VF-19A that is the exact same shade of grey as the FP's. The ultimate low-viz VF-19A FP.

Uxi Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Indeed... the two YF-19's didn't appeal to me, but I will buy a low-viz VF-19AFP. For that matter, do an F-22 Raptor camo scheme low viz VF-22S with the gold canopy from the Max and Milia.... VF-22S "Have Glass"
Uxi Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 I also found the white and yellow stickers a little too stark in contrast to the dark gray surface which made it look a lot more sticker-ish. So I took a GM02 gundam marker and stained the stickers to make them look more blended in with the darker areas. Wow, that looks pretty good. Think I'm gonna have to do this on my Gamlin. What did you do for a sticker guide? I see a couple that aren't listed in the Yamato manual (the ones on the nose or in the yellow stripe behind the UN Spacy Kite) that I've also seen on models... Hase instructions?

Yeah, I just used the Hasegawa decal guides for the VF-22S though it was for M&M's 22s. Almost all of the markings between the YF-21 and the VF-22S are the same, so I figured there shouldn't be much difference with Gamlin's either. I used the printed manual that came with the model, but MW has some scanned in the model section as well that you could use. And here's the YF-21's just for comparison.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 Thanks for sharing those couple of pics with us mate!
Uxi Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 Thanks! Ah the "Keep Clear" stickers were the main thing I was missing. Don't think I'll bother putting them on the side lights on the nose, but looks good behind the red sensor thing behind the head laser and between the cockpit and nose sensor.

Sandman Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Why did I read this post? 11 remaining Damn i didn't need to see this either. I just bought the VF-25F DX movie version yesterday but i can't pass this up.
logos Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Too late the sale is already over. The free paypal shipping is awesome though.
derex3592 Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 OK guys....I've waited as long as I can...I'm gonna pull the trigger on the "Double Nuts" YF-19. It's not cheap, but I really want a 19 to go with my 21 and 11B, and the original seems to have a couple of problems not to mention that original tan color just does NOT do it for me. I really like the blue and white of the newer one. Any one have any last minute advice or wanna talk me out of it??!! .......please....somebody....!!
Kicker773 Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Anyone notice the gaps on the blue and orange by the fuselage in fighter mode? Its not as flush as the original YF19 and YF19 2.0 versions.
Uxi Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 I may get Max or Milia if I see that deal. Otherwise, I'll wait. It's gotta be inevitable.
Chronocidal Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 I was seriously tempted to get Gamlin this morning, and I coulda.. but I want M&M VF-22s more, and if I get a third I want a YF-21. I could probably afford them all, but I have other things to think about too.. like.. rent... and food.. you know. I just wish I could count on a sale like this for the M&Ms.. And I REALLY wish this sale applied to the Mac0 stuff, they still have the VF-0S in stock, but I don't want to pay that much for it.
bluemax151 Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Again I've paid full price for something that goes deep discount I wonder if this is going to be a reoccurring YF-21/VF-22 thing? Going once on tremendous sale for a limited time only on HLJ that is.
Graham Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 OK guys....I've waited as long as I can...I'm gonna pull the trigger on the "Double Nuts" YF-19.

I really like the blue and white of the newer one. Any one have any last minute advice or wanna talk me out of it??!! .......please....somebody....!! Very happy with my white n' blue YF-19. The joints are much tighter than on the Mac Plus color versions and it holds poses really well in battroid mode. That said I keep it in fighter mode most of the time, as I just love the look of mostly white fighters. Graham

Graham Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 Pictures man, we need pictures. I posted some back when I first got it a few months ago. Graham
Mommar Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 Pictures man, we need pictures. Other than three semi-grainy pics of the Double Nuts in battroid I've not seen any other pictures/love for that Valk at all.
Graham Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 I posted 3 battroid pics back in August, on page 30 of this thread. I'll take some pics in fighter mode later. Graham
Uxi Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 Any luvk on VFX2 or low viz scheme VF19 or VF22, Graham? Any chance Yamato can add locks to future VF22 rear landing gear?
Agent-GHQ Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Woah,.... what is H. Ichijo doing in the VF-22's cockpit!? Anyways, I wish the conopy is covered in Battroid mode!
David Hingtgen Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I wouldn't be surprised if we do basically get a Hikaru in the cockpit---I'd be very surprised if we get a nice new 1/60 Milia sculpt.
azrael Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I wouldn't be surprised if we do basically get a Hikaru in the cockpit---I'd be very surprised if we get a nice new 1/60 Milia sculpt. Has anybody actually tried putting a 1/60 figure in a VF-22?
BoBe-Patt Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Woah,.... what is H. Ichijo doing in the VF-22's cockpit!? Anyways, I wish the conopy is covered in Battroid mode! I take it you never saw Mac 7. Well miriya uses hikaru themed flight suit in the show. I guess it was a way to pay homage to the original series. But like David Hingtgen said, it would be nice if they re-sculpted the pilot figure instead of just throwing a hikaru pilot in there.
valhary Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 i dont remember miria but max looks like this
Agent-GHQ Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Never seen Mac 7, but I'd rather have the Max flight suit looks than a Ichijo flight suit. Same for Miria.
Uxi Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 I at least want to see boobs. Then I want a low Viz v1/Mac Zero style pilot for my stealth/low-viz VF-19A and VF-22S "Have Glass"
derex3592 Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Just got my YF-19 "Double Nuts" from Overdrive. WOW! 3 days to my doorstep! Just have a minute to take it out and look at it. First impressions...very good...very tight in fighter mode, perfect paint application, and the white is a very "off white" almost cream color, not as white as it looks in the promotional pics...I like it! NO Macross Kite tampoed on the front of the fueslage?? FAIL! Anyway, can't wait to panel line it and detail it, but gonna play with it first! Will try to post pics later tonight or tomorrow!
