Benson13 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Blang blang! I wonder if the next step is to put 24 inch rims on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Cool, photo etched inner frame. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefuemon Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Cool, photo etched inner frame. Actually, that's the whole model, not just the frame. Looks kinda cool, but probably a real PITA to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasabi-san Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 It'd be nice to get one, just for the cool factor. Bet they're going to cost though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) That looks like a biiiiiitch to build! But I want one! No 1:60 though??? COME ON!! Edited June 27, 2012 by derex3592 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 where's the don't like button? Stop wasting our money! Give us the Phalanx or the Britai Softbi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrinG Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Where is that dang Phalanx?? I want extras included with it, especially after all this wait... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wm cheng Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Wow, kind of interesting to do a complete cut-away - but it must be a bitch to build... I wonder how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetarB Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I like how there's a big don't photograph sign on the bottom of this photograph. Not sure I like this one. This kind of treatment looks astounding on WW1 aircraft, where the build works really well. Here, not so much - for me at any rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reïvaj Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I like how there's a big don't photograph sign on the bottom of this photograph. But it comes from Yamato’s blog! I’m pretty sure Yamato staff is allowed to take pictures of Yamato stuff Back in topic, I like the idea but I'm not interested if it's not 1/60.

Valk009 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Awesome kit, if Yamato will ever get around in producing it! It will be a real pain to build it, virtually no mistakes allowed when bending those brass parts, any re-bending will either snap it in two or create uneven surface. Another downside, it will look shiny only for a short time, a little oxidation and it will turn dull and agian almost impossible to clean! Even after all these issues, I still want one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I want one!!! It'd be great if it was 1/60 but I guess 1/72 will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasabi-san Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Going dull...would clearcoat stop the oxidation if applied lightly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wm cheng Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'd spray it some kind of aircraft metal frame colour - it would be pretty hard to glue and file and keep the brass clean and have the same sheen throughout construction. Maybe we could wire up the internals and create a cutaway or combine it with a 1/72 Hasegawa model for the skin in some areas - that would be a huge project!

MechTech Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Now I have a place to install those overtechnology turbines I've got laying around This would be PRIME to do a detailed buildup - or lose your sanity over - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechTech Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 It does look pretty cool, but I still think its missing something like the internal guts. - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahab Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 I agee. I would be a good kit to cannablize, though. Dioramas depicting valk in various levels of construction or repair.... that sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vi-RS Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I'd say yes if this came from Hasegawa, but it's all wrong in scale considering it's from Yamato. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
