Graham Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Hey Graham, Do you have any more pics of that custom? I'm not sure if it was posted in a thread on the forums but I tried using the search function but didn't find anything. It was posted in another thread, possibly in the custom toys and model thread IIRC. Anyway, here's some more pics. First pic shows my very quick photoshop modifications taht I proposed to Yamato. Graham
anime52k8 Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 the paint job looks great but the crooked gun pod just kills it.
MacrossJunkie Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 That Roy scheme along with the shading done looks really tight. I hope Yamato seriously takes that scheme into consideration.
miriya Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I think it was a Jung custom made for Sqidd. And I wish that yamato listened to you Graham, that would have been a MUCH better color scheme to do. And MacrossMan, yes low vis YF-19 would be awesome.
vanpang Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 If Yamato were to push Super Nova paint scheme on the YF-19, they would have another cash cow(s).
Jasonc Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I'll be on all of these when they come closer to release. It's too damn bad there's no Super Nova 19, or Emerald Force from M7, or the famouse VFX-2 Ravens version. Damn you Yamato. I love it, but I am so upset that there's no VFX-2 version.

First pic shows my very quick photoshop modifications taht I proposed to Yamato. Graham Now that's a Yf-19 repaint I could get behind. That looks awesome, it's just to bad it they haven't gone through with it......yet at least. Damn where am I going to find the money for this stuff!

Black Valkyrie Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I would love if Yamato produce YF-19 in Max, Michael color style.
m0n5t3r Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 any additional tampo markings for the 19s??? like the kite emblem on the sides of the fuselage/cockpit area??? or stickers again...
vanpang Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 How many trial productions prototype YF-19 were there ? Is Isamu's YF-19 another trail production prototype ?
edwin3060 Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 It seems to me that Yamato went with F-15 style markings on the YF-19-- the Bird Pray (Bird of Prey?) white and orange are reminiscent of the YF-15 prototype and the Double Nuts is reminiscent of the F-15 S/MTD. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:F-15A_fi...prototype_2.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-15_S/MTD
takatoys Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I made a similar custom using a Roy Scheme. Did not paint anything, so I changed the tan color to white with Photoshop and looks better. I am a big fan of the YF-19, I might consider buying another one for this custom.
chowyunskinny Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Diggin the 22, but would've preferred these schemes for the 19
shiroikaze Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Finally! An actual VF-22! Too bad it's not in Max's or Millia's colors I'm not too hot for the VF-22 head though... it looks too simple compared to the lineart.

macrossnake Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Since the 1/60 YF-19 was released, I've been pestering Yamato to release more color variations, specifically a white version, based either on the white w/blue or white w/orange trim Project Super Nova versions, first shown in the TIAS Macross Plus bok and later featured heavily in a couple of issues of Model Graphix magazine. More recently, I've been pushing them to realease a white w/yellow and black trim version, similar to a custom that one of our members did. I forget who, possibly, Kurt or Jung? (See attached pic). I really wanted this Focker version, with the possible addition of a vertical black stripe down the side of the olower legs and also a black stripe terminating in a pointy end running along the nose, below the cockpit. Graham Yes, I love to see a "Focker' version of YF19. These two new colour theme for YF19 just a bit disappointing. The VF22 looks awesome though.
badboy00z Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Isn't Gamlin's VF-22 dark green?? Is it confirmed that Yamato list it as Gamlin version??
Bowen Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Say Graham, do you have any information about whether Yamato has done anything to solve the previous problems of the 1/60 YF-19?
edwin3060 Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Isn't Gamlin's VF-22 dark green?? Is it confirmed that Yamato list it as Gamlin version?? Well, the shop that I pre-ordered mine from lists it as a Gamlin version. They also told me that these are going to be May/June releases. However, no other online store has them up for pre-orders yet? I can't believe that a Singapore store got the word(and pictures) up before any Japanese or HK stores/sites did.
honkhet Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Finally! An actual VF-22! Too bad it's not in Max's or Millia's colors I'm not too hot for the VF-22 head though... it looks too simple compared to the lineart. i agree, something is not quite right about the head!!
Javabean Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) VF-22 looks great & irresistible that I placed my preorder wth my local store THe 2 VF-19 are definately a pass for me . Edited April 22, 2009 by Javabean
OmegaD3k Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 After seeing those screenshots from Mac7, thank goodness Yamato went with a more "stealth" / "dark grey" color scheme rather than green/blue! Hopefully M&M VF-22's are around the corner.
zenstudy Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I'm totally in line for the VF-22S. The YF-19 repaints do have their relative coolness, though.
Graham Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 OK, spoke with Yamato today. Confirmed the VF-22 is the Dynamite 7 Gamlin version. However, the pics weren't supposed to be released until this coming Friday, so somebody leaked them early. Also, the two YF-19 variations are not confirmed yet and may not be the final versions and have not been approved by BW yet. No photos of those should have been released and they certainly should not be offered for sale yet! The orange and white one will probably be offered for sale if approved, but after talking with Yamato today, the white, blue and red one may not and they may go with another variant. I did inform them that there is demand for a VF_X Ravens VF-19A and also a Focker version VF-19A. Graham
ff95gj Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) Thanks to Graham for the clarifications and 1st-hand news! P.S. Reactive Armor, Spartan, M&M VF-22S. Edited April 22, 2009 by ff95gj
Bri Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I did inform them that there is demand for a VF_X Ravens VF-19A and also a Focker version VF-19A. Graham I would think there is a demand for a Focker and M&M color scheme for every valk type.

The leaked picture for the white/orange VF-19 is blurry for the fighter mode, certainly suggesting that it was leaked before it was ready. I guess there was a miscommunication between the store and their supplier/Yamato? The store mentioned a May/June release, but if the YF-19 re-colours have not been approved by BW I guess that's too optimistic as well? I hope the leak doesn't put you into Yamato's black book again! Also, wow, confirmed Mac 7 release by Yamato. Hope we can get to see a 1/60 VF-17 soon then Maybe next year? +1 for the M&M colour scheme-- especially for the VF-22. I wonder if Yamato has to pay Bandai any royalties for the use of Mac7 designs, on top of the licensing fees from BW? Edited April 22, 2009 by edwin3060
ntsan Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I am wondering if Yamato would do that with SMS custom VB-6 Konig Monster? Consider it fetch over 30,000 yen easily in YJA (buy now 44,000yen).. certainly more thought after than other Macross toys atm in Japan
ff95gj Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I am wondering if Yamato would do that with SMS custom VB-6 Konig Monster? Consider it fetch over 30,000 yen easily in YJA (buy now 44,000yen).. certainly more thought after than other Macross toys atm in Japan I don't think they have the license to make a SMS custom. We should hope Yamato would re-issue it, and some people would produce the decal to apply. Think I've heard that there is pressure on Yamato not to issue VB-6...?
Graham Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I hope the leak doesn't put you into Yamato's black book again! Why would it? It's not me who leaked the pics, it's whoever leaked them to that Singapore online store. Heck, I didn't even have the pics. I didn't even see them until I logged onto MW this morning. For once you guys all saw them before me. Graham
thankheaven Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) Graham do you know anything about how the bellyplates on the VF-22 will store the gunpods ? Will they be accurately stored internally ? Edited April 22, 2009 by thankheaven
