Sumdumgai Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Right, I got interested in finding out what the scale would be for different valks as toys at the 1/48 scale that some people are for, and others against. I've spent a bit of time going over the data at Macross Compendium, took the data provided and scaled them down to 1/48. You may use this for discussion (let's keep it clean and calm) and personal interest. My Formula was: valk size (length or wingspan or height)/.48 = x It is .48 to convert the meters into centimeters. I'm listing the VF-0, VF-1, VF-4, VF-11, YF-19 and YF/VF-21/22 with wingspans spread to their maximum Actual Size Fighter Mode: length wingspan height VF-0 18.69m no data no data VF-1 14,23 14,78 3,84 VF-4 14,92 14,28 3,72 VF-11 15,51 11,2 3,49 YF-19 18,62 14,87 3,94 YF/VF-21/22 19,62 15,36 4,04 Battroid Mode: Height VF-0 no data VF-1 12,68 VF-4 no data VF-11 12,92 YF-19 no data (VF-19F/S/Custom is 15.48 without the laser) YF/VF-21-22 no data Toy size (in cm) Fighter mode: length wingspan height VF-0 38.94 no data no data VF-1 29.65 30.79 8 VF-1 31 31 8 (hastily taken measurements of my 1/48 Max) VF-4 31.08 29.75 7.75 VF-11 32.31 23.33 7.27 YF-19 38.79 30.98 8.21 YF/VF-21/22 40.88 32 8.42 Battroid mode: Height VF-0 no data VF-1 26.42 VF-1 26 (hastily taken measurement of my 1/48 Max) VF-4 no data VF-11 26.92 YF-19 no data (VF-19F/S/custom would be 32.25) YF/VF-21/22 no data I did an excel sheet with these, plus some other valks (unfortunately most of them had no data). If you want, I could try to post it. Quote
EXO Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Check these threads. I converted the sizes for certain valks in them. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...T&f=5&t=820&hl= http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...=75entry39095 Quote
Sumdumgai Posted December 10, 2003 Author Posted December 10, 2003 Thanks for the link Exo! Exo's calculations on 1/60 scale YF-19 - 12.21 in or 31.01 cm YF-21 - 12.87 in or 32.69 cm VF-11 - 10.18 in or 25.86 cm My calculations on 1/48 scale YF-19 - 15.27 in or 38.79 cm YF-21 - 16.09 in or 40.88 cm VF-11 - 12.72 in or 32.31 cm Okay, the VF-11 would be practically the same size as the 1/48 VF-1, I want my VF-11 in 1/48 and not 1/60. Heheh, I could display them next to each other and have them be in scale! Okay, I know people scream in horror at the monstrous size that the YF-19 and 21 would be in 1/48, but the lenght difference would be something like 3-4 inches, but I don't see that as being thaaat much of a problem. Now, I'm not saying "skip 1/60s and go straight to 1/48s"! What I am saying is that they would not be so big that we could drive them around (maybe use them as short skateboards). They could be made in a limited way like the 1/60 Monster. If there are 1/60 versions released, then those who don't want the 1/48 will be sated of their hunger, and if there is a 1/48 version released afterwards, then us others will be sated of ours. Oh yeah, since I remember in the last MW Newsletter that Graham had mentioned possible candidates for future Valk release where the VF-4 and the VF-5000, here's the length of the VF-5000: actual size VF-5000 - 14.03 m actual VF-5000 - 29.23 cm 1/48 toy (smaller than the VF-1) *crosses fingers* Here's hoping for a 1/48 VF-4!
