KOG Water Dragon Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 http://www.hlj.com/product/HSG65790 Looks nice. I want one. Interesting to see Hasegawa doing decal variations of the big 1/48 kits so soon. I wonder what variations they have in store for the 1/48 VF-1. Quote
thegunny Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 So let the merciless exploitation of the Macross modeller begin in 1/48 scale Quote
miriya Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 But did you see the super cute Egg Plane? http://www.hlj.com/product/HSG65789 Quote
KOG Water Dragon Posted April 15, 2010 Author Posted April 15, 2010 So let the merciless exploitation of the Macross modeller begin in 1/48 scale I don't mind at all. I love these decal variant re-issues. The alternate paint and marking schemes are fun. Quote
Maxtype Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 This one is a sure buy from me, but I don't know how many more 1/48s I'll buy just because of space problems - I have a ton of 1/48 jets already. Quote

You know, I DO kinda wish they'd done this one in 1/72, so it could be displayed alongside all the other 1/72 variations they've released in the past. Quote

It wouldn't be bad in 1/72 either, except I'm just dumb enough to buy both! I have the YF-19 and the VF-1J/A in 1/48 already, and when they do Max and Milia those are guaranteed buys from me. The Super/Strike as well. Thank goodness these won't all come out at once! This particular VF-19 is very appealing to me, I might change the squadron logos, but I'm glad they did an "operational" scheme. Quote
Gabe Q Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 But did you see the super cute Egg Plane? http://www.hlj.com/product/HSG65789 That's awesome! I want one! Quote
MechTech Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Mold milkin' time! Looks great all the same! The "Non Egg" egg looking valk looks cool too. More egg planes for Hasegawa's series. - MT Quote
PetarB Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I quite like the decal design. Where the hell is my Hasegawa VF-11 in 1/72 though? Quote
Maxtype Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I quite like the decal design. Where the hell is my Hasegawa VF-11 in 1/72 though? This. I'd buy 10 VF-11s in 1/72 scale! C'mon Hasegawa! It's not like this is an obscure VF that only a few fans would know about! Quote
Chronocidal Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I'm glad to see they're milking this mold, but I don't think the YF-19 has the greatest lines for using schemes like this one... the nose design just doesn't lend itself well to a darkened panel along the top. Plus, I don't quite care for how flashy this scheme is. I can see the cues from existing squadrons, but it's just a bit too much (mainly the wings are over the top to me). Now that they've begun the milking though, I want to see more like this, with more subtle sets. I still want my low-vis set, and the supernova schemes in this scale. Plus... while I don't think the YF-19 has the best form for adapting old style navy squadron styles, it's got the perfect layout for some Russian style schemes (clipped tails and everything). Heck, the thing is half Su-27 already. I want them to make some agressor sets, especially a Dobber-style one. Quote

I'm actually thinking of doing a "Powder Puff" after thinking about this post you made, Chronocidal. I also have some great Su-27 references. Quote
Fatalist Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 This. I'd buy 10 VF-11s in 1/72 scale! C'mon Hasegawa! It's not like this is an obscure VF that only a few fans would know about! Why settle for 1/72? They're on to making 1/48's now, so why not go all the way with the VF-11?! Quote
Maxtype Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Why settle for 1/72? They're on to making 1/48's now, so why not go all the way with the VF-11?! Just because I have so many 1/72 Macross kits. If they did a 1/48 VF-11, I'd buy 2, but I still want the 1/72 version! Quote
