imode Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 I'd say the chances of seeing anything other than VF-1's in 1/48 = slim. Sad, but I know it to be true.
GreenGuy42 Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 (edited) Well, there goes a good number of recent posters... At least it'll cut down on the long, rambling posts in the toys section... -groan- Edit: Can we PLEASE pin this? lol Edited February 3, 2004 by GreenGuy42

Chronocidal Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 Actually, it's about the same size as an F-14. That'd make it about 16 inches long, I think. Maybe a little less. Not that big really, in terms of models. Realistically speaking, it would make a nicely sized model, even if it was just in fighter mode (I prefer that to the other modes anyway). A Hasegawa 1/48th F-14 runs about $60 these days, I'm guessing something like this would probably sell for a little more just because of the name. If demand was high enough, I wouldn't put it past them to make one. Personally, I like the designs of the planes enough that I'd buy them, even if I had no idea what Macross was. Heck, I've done it before, that's how I got my first Valk. Even if they never actually make a kit of it, I intend to do my best to find a way to make one, even if I have to digitally scan every piece of the model, scale them up, and reproduce them somehow.

Roy's Blues Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 I found that pic in the old boards, sorry no scale reference shots. Hey... it was just to give us some hope anyway
Mechamaniac Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 Just in case anyone was wondering how big a YF-19 in 1/48 would be ...... Well, here is how big it would actually be.... Fighter mode: Wingspan: 11.2 meters - 36.75 feet Overall length: 15.51 meters - 50.89 feet Overall height: 3.49 meters - 11.45 feet Battroid mode: Overall height: 12.92 meters - 42.4 feet Converted to 1/48 scale Fighter mode: Wingspan: 9.19 inches Overall length: 12.72 inches Overall height: 2.86 inches Battroid mode: Overall height: 10.6 inches.

As much as I would like those to be the stats (as it would put an end to it's too big debate) they don't appear to be right. Here's the stats from the Compendium DIMENSIONS, EXTERNAL: Fighter mode: Wing span: fully extended forward 14.87 m [14.89 m] Length overall: 18.62 m Height overall: 3.94 m

I dont normally use the compendium since I find it nebulous and hard to navigate. So, here they are revised. 15.25 Inches in Fighter mode 12 inch wing span 3.23 inches high. Still not all that big IMO.
Knight26 Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 The only thing I am really disappointed about is that there won't be any 1:48 scale two seat VF-1s made. I was hoping for a good VF-1D, actually I was hoping that the low viz would have been a VF-1D instead of a VF-1A. Hey I loved the low Viz, but it would have lent itself perfectly to a VF-1D. Is the reason they are not making any 1:48 two seaters because of all the problems is with the 1:60s? If so, I'm sure they can figure something out, heck make it a limited edition special paint job. I know you must all think I'm crazy, I'd love to the Macross Plus VF's in 1:48 as well, but would the lack of at least 1:48 VF-1D seems very odd to me, as most of the toy is already built and only a relatively small redesign would be required. Guess I wil have to wait for a custom conversion kit. BTW sorry about the relatively long post, been on a writing streak lately and can't help it.

Graham's words were (and I quote): "Chances of 1/48 two seaters are very slim."
EXO Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 Graham also said not to take his word like it was gold...
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 I too wanted a military low vi VF-1D since it reminds me of VF-101m Grim Reapers tomcats. Not to mention I love 2 seaters.

Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 Graham are BIGGER macross plus toys possible at ALL? I know you ruled out 1/48 but 1/60 and 1/55 are still NICE scales to make them in dont ya think? Then if yamato makes them in 1/60 scale, and a the bigger perfedct trasnformation VF-0 in 1/60 we can all stop bitching and have a line in SCALE!
EXO Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 ...we can all stop bitching... somehow... I doubt that...
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 yes maybe ur right but i just want bigger toys damn it
