joscasle Posted April 19, 2021 Posted April 19, 2021 What's the color of the super pack for the TV version? I will build the canon fodder, I know the Hikaru (ep27) it is more like a light green , but the canon fodder is more blue. But what blue. Any idea/help? Thanks Quote

Thanks There should not be any difference.....if you are basing colors on what is depicted on screen, then yes, due to animation inconsistencies, you will find a wide range of colors for almost any mecha and accessory shown....otherwise, the fast pack colors for TV VF-1's should all be the same...unless it is for M&M, which are painted in their custom colors.........same goes for movie SSP IMO...the colors as depicted on the IMAI Super VF-1S boxart oil painted illustration are my definitive TV Fast Pack colors....

joscasle Posted April 19, 2021 Author Posted April 19, 2021 what color is that in your opinion? blue or green? Quote
jvmacross Posted April 19, 2021 Posted April 19, 2021 I see more green than blue...but it definitely is not devoid of some blue....you would need to mix up the colors to get the right shade... To me the TV supers have a Military green look to them...at least on that particular boxart Quote

Gabe Q Posted April 20, 2021 Posted April 20, 2021 I have the 1/55 TV armor and I think it's too lightly colored. The Arcadia TV armor I think is colored just right. Of the two Hasegawa armors, I think the one on the left is the perfect shade. I mixed a custom color after much, much experimentation. I wasn't happy with the Hasegawa color callouts for the TV armor. Anyway, I hope this helps. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 A bit late, but I agree, the Arcadia color is perfect, so Gabe's custom-mix that matches that is gonna be as good as it gets. (and it's a "simple" mix too, there's so many that have like a 14:19:26:3 ratio....) Quote
joscasle Posted May 4, 2021 Author Posted May 4, 2021 Hi, some time ago (like 8 years lol) some told me to use Model Master RLM24 Dunkelblau, the shade is very similar. Gabe's custom mix looks really nice. Quote
joscasle Posted May 5, 2021 Author Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) Gabe's mix test. Looks really nice. Don't have Tamiya blue, I use gaianotes blue. Really happy with the results. Thanks a lot Edited May 5, 2021 by joscasle Quote
jardann Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Ha ha! That old Imai box has two completely different colors for the fast packs right there next to each other! I think they both look good, and would love to see a build that uses the greenish hue. All that being said, Gabe's blue mix looks just about perfect! I don't think you can go wrong with it, and I'm definitely going to have to steal that formula. Thanks for posting it, Gabe! Quote

Goodman Models Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 those above examples look great! Don't forget to consider that different planes would have different degrees of weathering or variations from the factory they were produced at, so it "realistic" to go with a shade/colour that looks pleasing to you!

Great compromise between some of the box art examples. Hope you don’t mind but I’ll probably use your formula. 😊 Edited October 10, 2021 by lochness Quote
