Mommar Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Anybody have a notion on the pre-order date? Sunday night/Monday morning maybe? Quote

I have a vague memory of someone attaching the lil drakkens to the missile holes under the wing. If so maybe the kairos could do the same Quote

But if they want the 31A to be configured like the other 31's with the Lil drakken on the outside of the wing someone will need to make a special custom clip. Quote

However, the clip that came with the VF-31F's or the LilDraken's set is based on the wing shape. Someone needs to make a custom clip first based on the VF-31A's delta wing shape.

Or come up with a better solution because that clip is honestly a POS. Quote

seti88 Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Since those lil draken clips enable a hardpoint on the wings, theoretically anything can be put on the wing tips...the lil drakens are a "lil" too large for the 31 IMO. Hmm, would any armaments from the DX 19 look nice clipped on to the wing tips? Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Not mine. I think the DX YF-19 has similar missiles. I never opened mine haha Edited January 24, 2019 by spacemanoeuvres wrods Quote
Saviant Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Would like to know where those missiles come from as they look sweet on the 31A Quote

Lolicon Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Did anyone ever make a Shapeways DX hardpoint for all those extra missiles from the YF-19 set? Be nice to use all those extras on other valks. Quote

Chronocidal Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Those ones are by someone else, but Xigfrid has similar missiles in his shapeways shop. Personally, I've got my 31A loaded with all the longer dual-packs of sparrow/amraam looking missiles from the YF-19 set. They look beautiful on it. The belly pod though looks like one of the ones that came with the Yamato/Arcadia VF-0s. Edited January 24, 2019 by Chronocidal Quote

Xigfrid Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Not mine, I confirm. Hey, that’s the first time I see a physical model of the larger central container outside of the Master file, although I was thinking it was larger. Btw, I need something to store and hide the pods and ordnance, I got too many I think Quote

I think that your right. The valks that had randome are: VE-1, RVF-25 + RVF-171 (both Luca's units) and Chuck's VF-31E. VF-11C Super Thunderbolt should be in the list as well as it includes the randome as well - http://www.macross2.net/m3/macross7/vf-11c-radome.htm Note: I think the Master List of Macross Mecha needs to be updated to include the Delta valks.

That top right 31E pose looks as if it was halfway through a VF-1J DX transformation and with detached legs! Yeah that was an iconic chuck pose, with arm cannons blazing, wasn't it? Basically the only weapons he had at his disposal.... 1. Just realised so its 23760k yen with radome and no gun? 2. Hmm assume that the radome is detachable, and it would be able to be mounted on any other 31 fighter...am thinking 31A/E version?! Then we can have a 31E/A version too!

Sanity is Optional Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Just now, Bolt said: That would be sweet! But not sure it is detachable.. The pod is fully detachable, just like every other VF-31. It's a unique pod though, no drone charger or gun, just the radar dish. Quote
Lolicon Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 27360 appears to be the price with tax, with msrp of 22000. Slightly more expensive than the others due to the radome. Quote
no3Ljm Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 So based on the photos, I noticed that the Radome when folded is not flushed to the legs. It protrudes a little bit unless you use the landing gears. Quote
