Graham Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Guys, A while back (I forget when), Model Graphix (or it may have been another magazine) printed an article ofn a transforming VF-4 kit. I forget if it was the old Studio Half-Eye kit or an all new scatch-built kit. Anyway, I need some high-resolution scans of the article if anybody has it. Especially interested in pics which show how the kit transforms. Thanks in advance, Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boinger Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I don't have any Macross Magazines with the transformable VF-4. But, I will look through my Macross picture collection to see what I can find. That's all I can find on my computer, but I'll keep looking for VF-4 model transformation pictures.

Valk009 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Graham, you should maybe try and PM VF_1S, aka Patrick. He built a S.H.E. kit and has many pics of his kit in all three modes, possibly also the transformation sequence! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightmareB4macross Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 VF-4 The lineart with the Super Parts looks eeriely like the pre-cursor to the VF-25 Armor Packs. Will this come with Super Parts??? Pulling off the slender look of the fighter is going to complicate dimensions of the battroid. I for one wouldn't mind a slight thickened version of the main body. If Yamato sticks too closely to the lineart, the battroid thighs will look too thin and awkward. Just my opinion. So, when can we see the first renderings???

Talos Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I don't have too much to add to this. The VF-4 was one of my first Macross profile works, so I've gone back to the TIA Macross Plus Movie Edition version, which I like better, proportionally, and tweaking the shape and details to better fit the original design. I've updated it since then, but this is the newest one I had on hand. I've since done a new cockpit interior, moved the forward fuselage missiles back some, and started tweaking the tail shape, since I intend to do both the original swept one as well as the TIA straighter one. I also intend to do the VF-4xL versions, with lacked arms, and draw the boosters and alternate weapons pods, so I had to draw the inner wing areas (still unfinished here). I can't really comment on the battroid mode that much, but if there's any help I can offer in the fighter mode, I'm more then happy to comment. So much more left for me to do to finish my line art...

Jasonc Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 If Yamato makes this, this will be my first multi purchase of one expensive item (I think). It's just too badass not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Cliff Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) This thread is interesting, I'm gathering info for a sctratchbuild project, a non-transformable VF-4G (Fighter mode)in 1/48... I think I'll have to "invent" some parts, like the landing gear wells and some cockpit interior... I read somewhere that the VF-4 screen was retrofitted to VF-1, creating the "Block 6"... I'll assume that this screen wasn't the only thing retrofitted, but main controls and ejection seat as well... Let's see what happens.

Ghost Train Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 This is a good vibe, but I got a feeling we have to wait until after the VF-17D/S, VF-19P/S until we see this one, so it seems my gut feeling tells me that if said plans to exist... it's lined for late 2012 (hopefully before the Maya Nibiru Zombie Stock Market Crash Alien Invasion Apocalypse of late December) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Train Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Oh believe me, the significance of a 2012 launch date did not escape me. But the connection between real life dates and fictitious events have zero meaning to me. I'd rather have my toys sooner rather than later.

Raptor One Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I would assume it's because he's asking for pictures of a model kit. It's not like this is an announcement thread. I can't wait to see what Yamato would do with the VF-4 though. It's not really one of my favourites overall but I love the fighter mode. One step closer to a 1/60 VF-9 (Hey a brother can dream) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's posted here because there are no toys of it that I know of that are anywhere near yamato's standards. I hope it's a completed toy.....
