Swoosh Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 The paint job is perfect and it has very fine panel lines... except the nose is missing the Yukikaze symbol. The only thing other than the lack of Yukikaze on the nose is the stand is a light purple. The one on toysdaily got the yukikaze marking.... Quote
Fly4victory Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Aircraft like Yukikaze should be in 1/72 scale. Agree, I have the three of the 1/144 and really wish this one was 1/72. It would cost an arm... but a 1/48 with opening inspection panels and removable engines would be awesome. I have the digital camera charging and will photograph it tomorrow. Quote
ShadowerV2 Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Can't wait for them to make a Mave Yukikaze........ Now if they would just release the ARX-7 they showed the last time.... COME ON ALTER! BRING ON THE MAVE AND ARBALEST! Quote
Fly4victory Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 The one on toysdaily got the yukikaze marking.... Guess mine is a limited edition. I don't mine it not having the yukikaze symbol. I have a second one on the way. I ordered the one I have from HLJ... the second from a different store to see who was fastest. Both were discounted pre-orders as you can tell HLJ was the fastest. I just wish the nose number was not 503 or had someone other than 1LT Fukai as the pilot with the missing symbol. Quote

I just wish the nose number was not 503 or had someone other than 1LT Fukai as the pilot with the missing symbol. Ohh man it looks good but for $92 USD? I dunno... Seems way too pricey. Even more so with the prices we pay for a 1/48 yammie. Then again, I paid $100 for the CMs Brave Patlabors... Quote
Dobber Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 I had 1 of these on early bird with HLJ, but I canceled it cause I just couldn't spend that much on a model of that size. Now,if that darn Platz Sylphid would just be released I'd be a happy camper! We've been waiting and waiting!!!! Chris Quote

Then again, I paid $100 for the CMs Brave Patlabors... Completely, understand! This is the only non-Macross, non model purchase that survived the cut backs. I canceled the CMs ride armors, Tread,and that new Ghost in the Shell Gig with the Major figure. I did get the MH Stick but not the Ray. I looked at the bigger Patlabors and they are nice but with price of everything going up so many things have to fall by the way side. The ax almost fell on the FFR-31 also. Thankfully there was time after the release of the 1/60 YF-21. Quote
Scream Man Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 this wasnt on my radar till i looked in here, but now Im trying to decide if i can fit it in now, or wait till later and hope i can still find it in a few months.... Quote
Dante74 Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 I canceled my pre-order too a couple of months ago. Just too expensive for a non-macross purchase. Quote
Godzilla Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) Damn it, I cannot get the song RTB with the whistling at the end of the last episode out of my head. Now I want that Alter FFR31MR/D Super Sylph. Must resist... Ugh. EDIT: Hit the reply button too fast before I finished my post. Edited July 2, 2008 by Godzilla Quote
CAIN MKII Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 this wasnt on my radar till i looked in here, but now Im trying to decide if i can fit it in now, or wait till later and hope i can still find it in a few months.... Wrong move bro Quote
nephilim321 Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 does anyone know if alter is planning on making additional fighters from yukikaze? Quote
Fly4victory Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 does anyone know if alter is planning on making additional fighters from yukikaze? Thats a good question. I have a feeling that I am the only one that bought the first one I hope it is selling so more are released. Quote
Vifam7 Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 I broke down and purchased Alter's model at HLJ. Yeah, I hate the scale that it's in and the price is insane. But it just looks so darn good. I can't help it, I'm a sucker for cool looking aircraft. Quote
Dobber Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 If anyone is interested in the Platz 1/72 Mave Yukikaze (I believe is OOP) kit I have one unstarted and still in it's box that I 'd sell for less than HLJ price + shipping. If anyone is interested PM me I'll send pictures if you need them. Chris Quote
CAIN MKII Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 I received my Alter 1/100 Yukikaze model today. It's perfect. The crisp details and fine markings. The very precise painting. It's a high quality model worth the price, believe me. My highest recommendation to every yukikaze fans and fighter lovers. I really pray for Alter to make a Mave model too. PS:Mine got the yukikaze marking on the nose alright. Quote
Fly4victory Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 PS:Mine got the yukikaze marking on the nose alright. Cain, glad that your has all the markings. I have to wonder how many are missing the nose markings. Either way, I canceled my order for the second one and replaced it with a Ride Armor and some DVD's. Quote

cowie165 Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 So bummed that HLJ is out of 1/100 PE for the SuperSylph After waiting for months it has now been removed it from my last order - the product has been discontinued! :( Quote
Steve68 Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 I'd be a little more excited if they announced a 1/48 scale. I'd kill for a 1/48 Mave. Quote
CAIN MKII Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 1/100 Mave toy from Alter was announced at WF. Freaking awesome, Can't wait to place my pre order with HLJ. Quote
electric indigo Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Only a poster with an illustration was shown at WF. Quote
Tober Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Is this it? http://www.over-drive-inc.com/overdrive-bl...8/08/023-82.jpg Does the Alter SuperSylph come in two color schemes? ( I don't know much about Yukikaze ) Quote
CAIN MKII Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Yes This is it. I'm drolling all over my keyboard. The wait is killing me. I hope they will include the jet ram pack and some missile upper receivers. And no, the Alter Supersylph doesn't come in another color scheme. Geez man you gotta watch this anime ASASP, the planes are awesome. Quote
electric indigo Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Some progress on my Supersylph prototype mod: Quote
diabloM Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Is this it? http://www.over-drive-inc.com/overdrive-bl...8/08/023-82.jpg Does the Alter SuperSylph come in two color schemes? ( I don't know much about Yukikaze ) cant wait to get my hands on it~! Quote

Tober Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 And no, the Alter Supersylph doesn't come in another color scheme. Geez man you gotta watch this anime ASASP, the planes are awesome. So what is the version on the right hand side of that picture? Is it a custom or something else? I like the designs alot but have little time for watching anime. Quote
Valkyrie Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Looks great! Now....where the fart is the Platz Sylph!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chris Patience... They're only 8 months late. This is barely an average delay for Platz. Quote
