Valkyrie addict Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) As seen here: I've always like the simplicity of that particular VF-1J seen in Macross Plus. Made from an assembly kit, took me about a week and a half, mostly assembly and decal placing, very little painting required. Easy custom. Since that is the only screenshot available I used a VF-1J Hikaru as reference, red scheme into black scheme. Surprising how such a little detail as color can change the appearance so much. EDIT: LINK TO PHOTOBUCKET ALBUM HERE: http://s139.photobucket.com/user/cyclosporine/slideshow/Macross/Yamato/VF-1J%20Macross%20Plus Hope you liked it. Thanks for watching.

Benson13 Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Dude, love it. You're right about the simplicity. Quote
CoreyD Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Real nice. I'd buy one as well if it were sold with that scheme. Quote
UN Spacy Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Awesome work...but it needs more red paint. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FF9ZRnwAig Quote
Murphy Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Looks good! I was actually contemplating of doing the same thing, except I was going to take my extra Hicaru 1J and painting the red stripes black. Quote
Gian Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Awesome rendition! I'd buy one if arcadia made that too. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted June 20, 2013 Author Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Yep, along with the VF-1A Alaska, this are great milking opportunities for Arcadia. I'm really digging the whole assembly kits and doing obscure valks, so many are seen all along the series. Already got my next kit in the table for my next custom. I hope Arcadia continues releasing this kits also but fix the missing waterslide decals 2 vernier thrusters. Awesome work...but it needs more red paint. I seriously considered doing that but decided not to. Edited June 20, 2013 by Valkyrie addict Quote
eriku Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 That's beautiful. I'd like to do that with my 1J kit but my painting skills are lacking to say the least. Quote
danth Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Looks killer! I hope you're reading this Arcadia! Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Very nice. Love the clean look and like a few others have said if Arcadia made some of these obscure schemes they'd be a "buy" for me too. -b. Quote
xrentonx Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 I like that a lot! The simplicity is really awesome! Quote
Valkyrie23 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Great job! I have one of those VF-1J unassembled kits in the closet, too.... Quote
Deadeye_281 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Looks great...just needs some paintball splatters on the chestplate. JK. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 As others said, it looks awesome, very clean buid!!! Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) looks great with that simple scheme. am i wrong or does the screen capture pic not have a head stripe? Did you decide to add that yourself to match hikaru's 1J? oh and i agree....if arcadia made that, i'd buy it! apparently they have the M+ license! woot! Edited June 20, 2013 by Mechapilot77 Quote
505thAirborne Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Always wondered if someone would make this VF-1J, you sir are awesome for doing so!! Clean, simple and the VF-11 pilot is a nice touch. Quote
jvmacross Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 very nice....looking forward to your next VF-1 scheme! Quote
caslon Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 It looks magnificent!! were you using the decal which I sold to you previously? hehe... Quote
connor99 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Excellent work there, Valkyrie addict! I'm not a big fan of the 1J's, but if Arcadia were to put something like this out in the market...I think I just might get me one. Quote
Lupin The Third Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Macross Plus? I must have the wrong set of DVD's because I've never seen that segment in Plus...Nice mod though! Edited June 21, 2013 by Lupin The Third Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Thanks, I'm happy you all like it and I too agree I would buy one if Arcadia made one (even if I have this one already). looks great with that simple scheme. am i wrong or does the screen capture pic not have a head stripe? Did you decide to add that yourself to match hikaru's 1J? Yes, eventough is not actually painted, I decided to add the black stripe, it looked too plain without it. the VF-11 pilot is a nice touch. That's one of my favorite things in it. It looks magnificent!! were you using the decal which I sold to you previously? hehe... Nope, haven't used them yet but already have plans for them. I used the waterslide decals that came with the kit and a bunch leftover from a previews kit. Macross Plus? I must have the wrong set of DVD's because I've never seen that segment in Plus...Nice mod though! It's on Episode 2 right after Isamu gets the YF-19 and does the dynobird drawing in the sky. More pics, this kit is very fun. Since there's no 1/60 Zentradi battlesuit, Millia will have to step in Photoshop to the rescue: Oh boy... BTW, if you looked closely on the 19, it's sporting VF5SS awesome arm replacement fix, thanks VF-5SS. Edited December 15, 2013 by Valkyrie addict Quote
BlueMax Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Great job! And I like the re-creation of the scenes very much! Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 That is so awesome!!! I want to pose my Valkyries now Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Nice, If I was Arcadia, I`d release it and the other variation from the PS2 game by Bandai/ Sega AM2. Quote
ErikElvis Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Simple but very cool! Battroid looks sweet! Quote
