So 1st news, cockpit panels will be tampo printed according to Graham. Gloss finish(which I like). Still think the F will be a sleeper hit and look absolutely gorgeous in all modes.

Will Yamato use the smaller wings or longer wings? Both are shown in the VF-19 Master Files book. The longer wings are not as long as the Fire Valkyrie's.

Expecting any VF-19F or VF-19S before September 2011 should be a bit of daydreaming :D

Why not? They've already got the majority of the fighter produce-able.

VF-19P is too cool to pass! It's the ultimate GT(Grand Tourer) of Macross figthers. You travel from planets to planets and sign your songs... what can be better than this :D

I am totally down with the P providing the speaker shoulder clips are detachable. I don't mind the integrated ones on the Kai, but find the ones on the P to ruin the effect. The ventral stabilizer fins being added back into the design really make the fighter mode "pop" with the classic Valkyrie flying towards/away profile.

Not particularly interested in the VF-19S "test". Being somewhat of a completionist I would probably buy, but it is kind of a dull scheme (P looks similar but better) and is shown doing very little.

If we could remove the shoulder fins I would be all over a P version as well.

Oh, before it's forgotten. Graham, don't let them forget that the S/F/etc models have aux intakes built into the LERX. I don't see them on that P image, but they're definitely there on the others. Irked me a little that the Hi-Metal left those off.

Granted.. adding that would require one more new piece for those versions, but as long as they're making molds for the new head and wings and such, I hope they can find room for new LERX pieces.

As for the P.. I actually don't know if I'd ever seen one in color before, and I love it. I'd definitely pick one up, especially if the little shoulder fins are removable since I think they just break up the clean form of the plane. I love having the ventral fins back too, they just look like they belong.

I still want to see the white with black stripes one from the master file most of all though, especially if they make one with the mid-sized wing. The wing isn't likely I know, but I can't imagine it'd be too hard to scratch-build one from spare model parts.

Freaking awesome if we got all F/S/P versions! (I agree on the detachable shoulder fins for the P version)

It would be a perfect moment to release a VF-19a properly (1/60)!

Posted

Oh, yeah. They should put the console display in the sticker sheet as well as tampoing it on, so that you can put it on the Fire Valk.

Posted

This will be the one that I will be getting.

I'm amused in thinking they could potentially make FAST Packs for it.

Count me in for a P with removable Shoulder fins. Graham maybe you could suggest this.

i prefer the P variant too. I remember Graham saying "patience" or "be patient" when asked about the 19P a week (or 2) ago. that I will do... :)

somebody should really change the thread title to include the VF-19P.

Posted

Yeah, I remember that too, I just want Graham to suggest the removable shoulder fin idea that someone suggested. :)

Well, if you consider the fact that the P's shoulders should be identical to the F/S models' (unless of course, it uses the same speaker shoulders as the Fire Valk, which, in that drawing, it actually looks like it does), it makes perfect sense to make the fins removeable, both for financial reasons, and making fans happy.

Make a single mold that can do any shoulders not used by the Fire Valk, and give it a missing section on the top that can house a variety of attachments. Then you make a set of blank panels for the S/F to use, and a set of fins for the P, both of which slide or snap into the shoulders, and just include a set of blanks for the P as an extra.

The kicker for this is that if you make the attachment point beefy enough, the spot those fins are located is also exactly where the fast packs attach. So, there's already a perfectly good reason to add a removable panel to the shoulders, or at the very least, leave slots to add extra attachments. The removable panel is a little more complex, but it would look better. All they have to do is make a set of fast packs that attach in the same spot, and rotate upwards for battroid.

Note... I really could care less about those fast packs, they're pretty darn fugly. But if the potential to integrate their function into the shoulders gets me removable fins on the P, I say bravo! ^_^

The F/S types have different shoulder pauldrons from the P type. The shape is similar but the P has different detailing like the sensor/jewel that is similar to the VF-19 Kai's shoulders.

It looks to me like the shoulders on the P are identical to the Kai's, apart from the fact that they do not open to reveal speakers.

But yeah, I agree the speaker things should be removable. By the way, in Gerwalk mode those speakers are supposed to be twisted perpendicular to the shoulder, oddly enough (i.e., the speakers are facing outwards, to the side of the valk). post-1318-0-74597900-1307154387_thumb.jpg Which means that they should be on some sort of connection joint anyway, which might as well just be a simple friction peg-and-hole deal.

EDIT -- Also, I hope jvmacross doesn't mind me putting up his pics here, but they're so pretty:

me too. This and a future redone yf-19 v2 make me excited. I have zero interest in the boosters. Instead yamato should give us vf-11c armour. (this is way higher on my wish list)

What's the deal with the red one???

It's the VF-19P covered in space whale splooge blood.

Posted

Blood? Aren't they supposed to be made of energy or something?

I really don't know, but apparently if you hit them with a reaction warhead they spew read stuff that looks like blood and can conviniently convert a VF-19P into a Fire Valk.

also:

the resulting injury caused the great beast to send forth a spray of pollen that stained the Battroid red (Macross Chronicle, Issue #22).

"pollen" :rolleyes:

Posted

Nah, to discuss the F/S in the Fire Valk thread would've derailed the Fire Valk thread, so I made this one...because the F/S Excaliburs rule.

Ahhh nevermind, I just found the G-man's comments on the other thread. Good news indeed.

"pollen" :rolleyes:

Yeah, I keep saying to people that it's not blood. Those tiny little baby whales near the end of the episode come from somewhere.
