hehe! but not on absolutely everything but it works so well on certain odd ball planes. For example, I wanna get my hands on a Spitfire kit and have it painted up in the former Soviet colors as they used in WW2.

Its gonna be more crisp and less floppy and a joy to own.

Until the legs fall off.......

Absolutely going to preorder one and then repaint my Yamato ones in Soviet colours.

Sort of did

 it years ago

 

[Mommar]

Still just renders?  That sucks.

[Sandman]

This is probably why Arcadia has been bumping up the reissues this year. The Sv-51 is probably a long ways off still.

[technoblue]

That makes sense. I hope they do take their time to make the updated SV-51 as good as it can be. No QC issues, please.

At least the renders show correct armaments (two cannons and two missiles, not four cannons).

They're going to have to make a lot of improvements to get me to buy another set, I think.  My originals are just fine as after I did some work to tighten the wing hinges.

The lift fan is at least an interesting thing, but I put that at the same level as the airbrake on the 1/48th VF-1 on the "unnecessary detail" scale.

 

[seti88]

Will be watching if there are pink missiles.

[sh9000]

I still have the Yamato SV-51 Ivanov, Nora, and CF unopened.  I think I'll pass on Arcadia's.

[M'Kyuun]

I still have my Ivanov on display. I'll wait to see what improvements are made over Yamato's before I commit to a second. For starters, hopefully ratcheted hip joints and better weapon mounts. I never could get the FAST packs to attach to my 51's wings.

[Slave IV]

I'll get this when it comes, no rush. Actually Arcadia, please take your sweet time since I have plenty I need to buy from you in the near future.

Four Cannons?

[Zx31]

Maybe they mean the rocket pods?

He meant to say Missile/rocket pods. 

[Chronocidal]

The Sv-51 was shown mounting both two and four pods, at various points in the series.

On the other hand, the tan one was only supposed to have one cannon mounted in the intake fairings, but since the D.D. and Nora molds used two, the CF got a free upgrade.

I was close. 

[David Hingtgen]

Corrected correction:  drop tanks with micro-missile launchers built in.  They are shaped very much like the F-5's tip-tanks.

Can we please go back to being annoyed that this is still only in renders now?

I think we should get a jump on things and start complaining about the premium finish version.

Looks like the color for the canopy is not anime accurate. PO cancelled.

so we will hit the same decision point again come preorder day..should we wait for a premium version?

 

[derex3592]

wrong shade of black..NO SALE...

[no3Ljm]

Thinking if I should order two of this, if ever.

I have a feeling this will look good on a Kei Nagase Ace Combat scheme.  

 

[valhary]

I hope arcadia make a micro site to follow the development of this bird as did with the yf 19

I agree. Would be nice to have that.

But since I can't understand the whole Japanese texts on the micro site or even the blog update, I rather prefer photo updates instead. I'm sure a lot of people here will agree and prefers photos than texts. 

 

[Chronocidal]

I am hoping they'll highlight the improvements over the old mold, because I'm actually curious what the demand for this will be like.  Much like the VF-0, barring any structural improvements, the only thing to really improve visually is the molding quality, and finer details. 

With the VF-0, we got the VF-0D first, so I feel like the new VF-0A/S were more a byproduct of that.  The Sv-51 probably needs some posability and playability improvements (tighter joints, better mechanisms, that sort of thing), but from a display perspective?  I'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between the old and new VF-0s displayed on a shelf, and I feel like this is going to be the exact same way.

[Sildani]

Wouldn't that mean they got the shapes and general proportions right the first time then?

Yes they did, but that's about all you can say positive about the current SV-51 toy. If you're looking at it from ten feet away it looks fine enough but if you actually get within arms reach of the thing it's just a mess of massive panel gaps and crude surface detailing.

More importantly though, The articulation on the SV-51 sucks; nothing locks together properly in any mode; and the whole thing is just a big, floppy mess.
