nightmareB4macross Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 Does anyone one know why the seats ran instead of army green?? Also, doe the VF-1D have a second console for the second seat or was that a Hasegawa creation? From many various perspectives there seems to be a second console in the anime but not in the lineart. Quote
Chronocidal Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 Believe it is supposed to have a console, and I think there actually is enough room for a small one against the back of the pilots seat, but neither Yamato or Bandai included one. From my understanding, the VF-1D was a two-seat combat ready plane, compared to the VT-1 being a pure trainer, similar to how the F-5F would compare to a T-38. Quote

Expand Sorry for my curiosity since I'm not that well verse when it comes to real life fighter plane. When you say combat ready, meaning both seats have the ability to fly the plane? VF-1D have the same ability as the F-5F. Is VT-1 the same somehow since Misa was able to control it against the front seat pilot? Thanks. Quote

A lot of two seat aircraft will have backup controls in the rear, but some like the F-14 just have a completely dedicated back seat station with no controls to fly the aircraft. The VT-1 being a dedicated trainer would mean it has at least the majority of the front cockpit duplicated in the back, and the rear seat is elevated so the instructor can see out if he has to take over. It also had very little in the way of provision for carrying weapons. Edited July 30, 2021 by Chronocidal Quote

And yes, I always think of the rear seater have different console like the F-14's. I learned something new today. Thanks sir! On 7/30/2021 at 2:11 PM, vladykins said: What's this?

These are always works in progress...for example, I composed the pic before I remembered that there was a better shot of the original ARII boxart on MacrossWorld's old model kit gallery. I am sure you can do the same, I am just using basic tools that come free with Win10....I am sure others with access and knowledge of Photoshop or some other photo editing software could produce much cleaner shots....I just do it for fun, as most of my stuff is in storage...so I get to play with other people's toy digitally.....
