Bolt Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Awesome! I was looking at hlj yesterday and was quite depressed Quote
Chronocidal Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) I'm still waiting for them to pick up the ball and make a 1/48 YF-21 to match the YF-19. Dropped a backorder for that 31A kit though, I missed out the first time. Edited April 5, 2020 by Chronocidal Quote

Actually I'm comparing YF-21 to real life YF-23 to see what can be done to model YF-21 out of this. And there is a 1/48 YF-23 :D Quote
LRS Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 Did Hasegawa ever do a vf-4? Seems like an odd omission since its such beautiful plane. I know wave did one but its proportions look off to me. Quote

I know wave did one but its proportions look off to me. If they had, I would be drowning in a pile of them right now... The wave release is a VF-4G [same as Yamato, Arcadia, and the Bandai HMR], to date the only place to get a VF-4A [the proportions seen in FB2012] is the garage kit market. Thanks to @jvmacross for the scan from the VF-4 Masterfile. Edited April 21, 2020 by slide Quote

kajnrig Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Would there really be that much of a difference between the A and G? They're not a Hornet/Super Hornet situation... right? Quote

They're not a Hornet/Super Hornet situation... right? Well: IF this Masterfile pic is to be considered Canon, that wing is about 30% bigger surface area, and the engine nacelles are larger as well. The Canards move forward, and I would assume the Vertical/Ventral stabilizers got bigger in proportion to the wing increase [but I can't tell from this angle] the main fuselage [from the top-down silhouette anyway] seems to stay pretty much the same. So bigger engines [need more fuel], bigger wings [to hold more fuel and possibly more munitions], and some tweaks and alterations to the positioning of things to keep it balanced... Sounds like it's totally a Legacy-Vs-Super Hornet situation to me... *edit* oh, and the head-units are different Edited April 22, 2020 by slide Quote

Well technically not available yet, the official release date for this kit is later this month unless it should get delayed. Keep an eye on that link and it should be available and easy to acquire.

Thanks to @jvmacross for the scan from the VF-4 Masterfile. Hey - nice info. Do you have the Master File? If yes, could you provide me with a higher resolution picture of the comparision and the side view of the VF-4A? I'd like to make a 3D model of that. Quote
