Seto Kaiba Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Hikaru, keep up the good work man! Nice VF-2SS there. Very nice indeed.
IAD Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 (edited) Well, I was working on a scheme for my SV-51 RC job, and experimentally came up with this... If you're hoping for a story behind the USAF markings, I have to disappoint, there isn't one, except 'I like it that way.' No squadron/pilot markings yet, though I may change that. All the same, I thought it came out good enough to post here, so... ~Luke <Edit> Changed the canopy a bit. Edited October 7, 2005 by IAD
wolframbane Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 Beautiful work on the VFs from Macross Zero. I haven't seen these anywhere else.
Trigger Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 Hello all! I've been lurking around here for the past couple of weeks doing research for a Macross Group Build over on the Fine Scale Modeler boards. I'm going to build a VF-0S, a VF-19A and a VF-22S and I'm trying to nail down a color scheme for my Strumvogel and Excalibur and I found this thread which has been very helpful. I'm thinking of using Compass Ghost Gray colors in the US Navy's Gull Gray scheme for my VF-19 and in markings of SVF-96 Fighting Falcons. No idea on my Strumvogel yet. The VF-21/22 top view is very useful; is there a side and bottom view to go with it? I've seen some VF-19F/S side views, but now VF-19A sides or tops, so unless someone has any objection or there's one around here that I missed, I'll crank out a VF-19A Plan view to share
Jedi Knight Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Go for it! One can never have to many schematics and orthographic views.
Trigger Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 Cool. I started on the plan view of the YF-19 (VF-19A/C) over the weekend and it's looking good so far.
Seto Kaiba Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 (edited) Wow. That looks even better than I thought it would. You sir, are the king. I can't wait to show that to the rest of the Cobras back on Macross2.net and see what they think. Edited November 25, 2005 by Seto Kaiba
hellohikaru Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Thanks for your comment Its been awhile since i did anything. I need to get started on the VF-2JA soon.
Trigger Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Okay, here's my top view of the VF-19/VF-19A: And some color schemes I've been playing with:
broadshore Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Awesome Wild Weasel, Aggressor, Low Vis, High Vis scemes. I love them
IAD Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Another 'real-world' SV-51, this time in Israeli 109th Squadron colors... ~Luke
David Hingtgen Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Trigger--what's the bottom scheme based on? I clearly recognize F-15 Mod Eagle and F-16 two-tone, but I like the bottom the best and can't identify if it's based on anything. PS---YF-21 side view:
hellohikaru Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Another 'real-world' SV-51, this time in Israeli 109th Squadron colors... ~Luke 348124[/snapback] Very cool and what not, also very appropriate for something exotic like the SV-51
Trigger Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 Trigger--what's the bottom scheme based on? I clearly recognize F-15 Mod Eagle and F-16 two-tone, but I like the bottom the best and can't identify if it's based on anything.PS---YF-21 side view: 348277[/snapback] It's based on the US Navy's Gull Gray scheme of the 1960s & 70s. The undersides and control surfaces of their aircraft (A-4, A-6, A-7, F-4, F-8 & F-14) were painted white and everything else was finished in gloss Gull Gray. What I did was replace with white with Light Ghost Gray and the Gull Gray with Dark Ghost Gray. The squadron markings are for SVF-96 "Fighting Falcons" CAG aircraft. However, since Randy Cunningham's admission of taking bribes, I just don't have the heart to pursue a "Fighting Falcons" Excalibur (VF-96 was the unit he flew in in Vietnam). A buddy of mine is already planning on finishing his VF-19A in SVF-32 "Swordsmen" markings so I may go with an SVF-111 "Sundowners" scheme instead. The other schemes are (in order of appearance): 1. "European 1" (the color variation worn by A-10 in 1980s) - A good scheme for when the mecha is in Batteroid or Gerwalk mode on the ground. 2. "Ghost" (worn by Royal Singapore Air Force F-5s) 3. "Mod Excalibur" (version of the F-15 Mod Eagle scheme) 4. "Project Hill" (worn by F-16s and USAF F-4s) 5. "SEA Scheme" (Vietnam-era USAF aircraft.) A regional scheme that's very effective for when the mecha is in batteroid or Gerwalk mode on the ground. I've got some other schemes in mind, but I just haven't had the time to sketch them out yet. Oh, BTW - do you have a larger (higher res) YF-21 side view? Thanks, Trigger
David Hingtgen Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 (edited) The light/dark ghost grey totally messed me up---since that is in itself the most common scheme of all----I never even noticed the pattern was like 60's/70's USN. (Though the leading edges of the wings also messed me up---those were never white, only trailing control surfaces were white) I recognized Euro 1 of course, and I knew the second was an F-5 but not exactly which (there's SO many that are SO similar). PS---the Sundowners are my fave squadron of all. PPS---that's the only YF-21 sideview I have--it's from MW, about 4 boards ago. Edited December 1, 2005 by David Hingtgen

Sort of a new twist on an old scheme to freshen it up a bit. Here's the SVF-32 scheme I've been messing with: Sundowners... I'm already thinking of art for the "beaver tail" shield Edited December 1, 2005 by Trigger
amegari_hikaru Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 hello everyone.... i send you my work on the VF-19F/S blank done be hello hikaru and jedi knight using the fabulous tutorial made by to her your opinion.... on my work on the shades (mostly on the wing shade), i'll hope to read some good feed back and critics my work all that you like... PD sorry for my bad english... it's not my natural languaje...
Trigger Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Your English is fine buddy! Couple more schemes and a side view of the VF-19A... SVF-111 "Sundowners" CAG JASDF F-2 Scheme Side View
Zinjo Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 (edited) Dark VF-2 347488[/snapback] Actually, since the VF-2SS is a space superiority fighter, the black paint scheme is the actualy low-vis version... Very COOL! Edited December 5, 2005 by Zinjo

Very COOL! 349751[/snapback] Yeah, that was what I was thinking when I made the black-on-black cobra paint scheme. Followed the principle that since grey is used to make a fighter blend in with the clouds, and space tends to be a flat, black, empty expanse, the most logical low-vis paint scheme would as much black as possible. I've got a low-vis paint scheme set for the other Macross II fighters I'll be posting in this post later once my network drive is online again.
David Hingtgen Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 Love the Sundowners plane---especially like how the sun's incorporated on the shield.
Trigger Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 Love the Sundowners plane---especially like how the sun's incorporated on the shield. 349924[/snapback] Thanks. I'm trying to convince a buddy over on the FSM GB that a CAG aircraft would likely carry artwork on the shield. He thought the beaver tail between the engines folded up onto the batteroid's back like the VF-1s tail did. Got a couple more schemes to wrap up before I start on VF-22 schemes

Now let us see the coloured up version
Jedi Knight Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 Those are some sweet schemes everyone! Keep 'em coming!
wolframbane Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Here is my rendition of the side view of the VF-X-4 prototype, later to become the VF-4 Lightning III. Anyone interested in helping me design the other sides (top, front, bottom, rear)?

Anyone interested in helping me design the other sides (top, front, bottom, rear)? 351758[/snapback] I am pretty sure there is a top view out there. Probably from the rowboatacky site.
wolframbane Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 Here is that top view hikaru. Somewhat ruff, but the design could be used to make a nice blank. One thing I did notice is that the cockpit is identical to the VF-1, so that should definitlely help us in the design.
Trigger Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Okay, here are some VF-22S scheme sketches....
broadshore Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Nice useage of the Airforce Sceme job. Really gives the VF-22 the look of todays fighters. I like.
