@Darotower Now that is one impressive collection! All you're missing is an Alaska Base VF and you'll be solid. B))

The All the grey VF-1A is the VF-X correct? 

Yeah, you're right the grey VF-1A is the VF-X

Wow, nice collection @Darotower

EDIT: Is that a custom grey low-viz in the middle, 2nd last row? I thought Yamato only released that in 1/48 scale?

Thanks! No, the grey VF-1A is the VF-X

Nice! Sure wish Arcadia would do reissues of Valkyries like the VF-X, Cavaliers & Roy's Low-Vis VF-1S.

Iron Man landing pose? Black Widow heroic stance?

No, its Roy saying "Oof! Slipped on some oil & nearly fell flat, lucky I didn't damage the pitot!"

Oh nice. You put the double stripes on the non-centered head lasers too and even managed to get the curved line on the circular part. The whole thing looks great with the extra decaling. 👍

I know, right? All Bandai had to do was print a few more (major imo) details and it would have really made the HMR 0S stand out.

Good catch @MacrossJunkie! Thanks to your idea I managed to get some more details in.😉

🥸guess I need look at the picture better.

Either way, the colors do look washed out.

Yeah I usually brighten up the pics.  Here it is less brightened.

A perfect example of not trusting any image you see on the internet to judge colors of anything.😉

Unless you know how the image was processed and have a properly calibrated monitor for that image, it won't do anything but frustrate people who are particular about color matching.

The other issue is the colors in the anime. The darker colors are the shadow and if you look at the areas where it’s lighter it matches better. Anime and comic lighting ccolors are pretty confusing and Bandai probably matched the lighter orange rather than the darker. The tan parts should be less yellow and more gray brown though

That doesn’t match. I was using the lighted areas as a reference.

No offense, but this is not applicable to Arcadia's VF-0D, right? :spiteful:

Color is always a hot topic at MW aside from lineart accuracy and perfect transformation.

Yeah, it's just always funny to me that people are using different monitors, differently lighted subjects and different frames of animation or other source material with no idea what processing or degradation there is to those sources to compare or often criticize the color of some toy. Its just a peeve of mine since properly calibrated monitors and reference source material is a basic need for any significant color criticism. I just like to enjoy cool pics like above and leave the color issues to color scientists with the proper resources.
