Bolt Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Those are interesting schemes. With the white background, it's hard to get a good idea just how they will look. But i get the idea I usually prefer custom schemes, will undoubtedly be doing that to one of my Rau's . Finally just shipped my Max Rau, YF-19 Battroid and Plamax VF-1J. The shipping was ouch...

KOG Water Dragon Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 10 hours ago, Urashiman said: New stuff! Unexpected. I wonder if there's hope for gerwalks of their other 1/72 subjects. YF-19, YF-21, VF-11, VF-25, VF-31, etc. But of course the near future will probably bring a string of VF-0 gerwalk variations. Interested to see if they can do VF-0A or VF-0D gerwalk. The 1/48 YF-19 with fast packs is a little less surprising, and also a little less interesting. But I guess easy for them to do since they have done the fast pack parts recently in 1/72. Makes me wonder if they'll re-release the 1/48 yet again with a fold booster later on. I'm kinda interested in seeing the 1/48 fast packs kit painted up in an alternate squadron scheme.

We just got the YF-19 battroid so maybe a gerwalk is feasible a little down the road. Edited September 4 by KOG Water Dragon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. I think that as long as there’s an interest in the battroid mode, they’ll do the more risky gerwalk of each of these. And Hasegawa loves to milk a mold, so we’ll probably see some vf-0 stuff then vf19/ YF19 items and they’ll hopefully go through their extensive catalog. I’d like to see an armored VF-11 one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to see an armored VF-11 one day I'm a little surprised they haven't done more with the VF-1 gerwalk, to be honest. I would have liked to see alternate livery versions like they've done with the fighters. Had also hoped for VE-1/VT-1 gerwalks. An armored VF-11 battroid would be really nice, but I'd like an armored VF-31 even more. But we need the plain VF-31 battroid first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 I'm all about the VF-0S Gerwalk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geck Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Well...at least they aren't abandoning 1/48. Still hoping for something new in that scale like a VF-0 or VF-11. A VF-25 would be a dream. The YF-19 fast packs are nice...but I've already got 2 of those to build as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kajnrig Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 I'm sure everyone's already seen them, but just in case, store pages have additional pics of new runners/parts: VF-0 Gerwalk: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/11120966 YF-19 w/ FAST Pack: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/11120943 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Nice to see they are still making models for Macross Zero! Odd though that the VF-19 Fast Pack - has no boosters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got 3 (vanilla, Lightnings, Ravens) but I'd gladly take another if they released their Dullahans version in 1/48. My primary hope for next all-new 1/48 fighter kit would be YF-21 to pair with the YF-19. Anything else after that is welcome. VF-0, VF-25, and VF-31 all make sense since they can be milked as several variants. But imagine the shelf space needed to display all 4 main VF-25s or all 5 main VF-31s... 1/48 VF-0 would be fun but I'd mostly be interested if they did VF-0A or VF-0D. I do wonder if VF-11 is popular enough and milkable enough to warrant a 1/48. Thought a 1/48 Super VF-11 would be really cool.

505thAirborne Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Dear Hasegawa, let us know that a 1/48 YF-21 with or without fastpacks is in the works & I'll grab that 1/48 YF-19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 It's certainly well past time we got a 1/48 YF-21, considering how long the YF-19 has been around. Granted the YF-19 is a much more popular Macross YF/VF, but it's really a good time to finally add the 21. And considering how many different VF-11 variants Hasegawa has released, I'm hoping they do jump on the batroid version soon. The armored version would be super cool. I see Mercy Rabbit is doing the art for the VF-0S gerwalk. Should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 With the YF-19 fast packs coming in 1/48 I REALLY really really really really really really want that YF-21 in 1/48. Plus they can recycle the molds for the VF-22 *huffs hopium* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they can recycle the molds for the VF-22 *huffs hopium* I'm right there with you, but considering how many re-issues we've seen of the YF-19 since it released, I'm really thinking they just can't financially justify making the YF-21 in 1/48. I'll remain hopeful, especially considering the anniversary year, but I'm just not really expecting anything this far along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMBounty_Hunter Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Huh, neat! It's minimal new tooling but still something actually new! Guess we'll have to wait until next year for a 100% new kit to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpacePirateNeko Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 (edited) blaaaaaaaaaaaah can we just get a new 1/48 already. Seriously the 1/48s are usually the same price as some of the bulkier 1/72 models here...so its not like its a money loss Its a crime we dont have the 11 and 21 in scale. Especially considering the number of variations that can be gotten out of em...but i guess we havnt even gotten many of the 19 variants either. As for 1/72 i really wanna see the rest of The Ride variations Edited September 8 by SpacePirateNeko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pengbuzz Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 (edited) Actually, I'd love to see a diorama of the SDF-1 Bridge (both SDFM and DYRL versions). Just the part where Global, Misa and the rest of the bridge bunnies are, I think that would be a good one at say, 1/72. Big enough for some serious detail but not too large to take up a ton of room.

KOG Water Dragon Posted September 10 Author Share Posted September 10 This might be the first Hasegawa box art I really don't care for. I don't think it's the most flattering angle for the YF-21, even if it's rendered well. And the bright acid green background isn't super exciting or visually appealing. Sorry, this is one I wouldn't want a poster for. Unlike a lot of the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it works pretty well for the fold effect, but I do think other boxes have more dynamic pictures, just this one serves the purpose well for what it’s trying to convey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pengbuzz Posted Wednesday at 11:18 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:18 PM Might be worthwhile to paint the internal parts of the fold booster with glow paint (the kind you leave in the light so it absorbs it and glows when the lights are off).
