1/72 Hasegawa SV-51 Step-by-step

[David Hingtgen]

Haven't seen an E, but F's have decidedly less obvious panel lines than ABCD's. Possibly related to all the stealth features they put in. All you really see are the rivets. Might want to totally eliminate the seam if it's easier--I mean they're nigh-invisible at arm's length at 1:1 scale. The only ones at all visible are the ones right on top of the spine, and the undersides of the wings.

Any more progress pics on this one? i just got my sv-51 yesterday and was wondering if you've encountered any major issues apart from the nose cone size?

Hi all,

Does anyone know of any good modeling books out there for the newbies to brush up their skillzz....??

[IIymij]

is this project cancelled?

[Stamen0083]

Jinnai is the type of person to incur damage to himself while doing everyday things. :-P

And he works and has school, so this project isn't likely to be complete any time soon.

[Jinnai]

Soon soon.. still recovering from a broken finger.

[Akula]

well, that woud definately put a kai-bash on medelling for a while... swift recovery!

[izzyfcuk]

come on Jinnai, how's your fingers? i want to see the bird!!!

[Stamen0083]

He's in the middle of moving, so modelling will have to be put off for a while.

Hi Jinnai .

I hope you can finish your sv-51 very soon .

I have a great interest in see it finished .

It was in this topic that I got my idea to do the gerwalk version . I was just waiting Hase to release the ivanov version .

My gerwalk is now ready to paint . Thanks for the idea .

Get well soon , and keep modeling

[Stamen0083]

Heh. He broke his hand recently. Again.

So now he has time but not the health to model. Let me tell ya, the guy he's building the SV-51 for is getting pissed.

[Akula]

sounds like he needs one ofthose everything proof suits...

[Gabe Q]

Did this kit ever get finished?

[Stamen0083]

Jinnai boxed some kangaroos and lost.

Holy... just look at the size difference of the vf-0 and vf-1.

Holy... just look at the size difference of the vf-0 and vf-1. 

Indeed, I was like, are you sure that's 1/72? I wonder if UN Spacy would have made the VF-1S bigger when they finally encountered the Zentradi forces. A VF-O would be about 1 1/2 times taller than a Zen-trooper, so I'd take it. Also, I'm taking it that an F-14 is longer in length than your VF-1A?

But then again I doubt that Earth was expecting these visitors.

Since the VF-0 series was a proof-of-concept series, refinement would naturely mean removal of excessive materials and technology's. They were still adapting the A.S.S. technology and adapting to it. It's like comparing VHS to DVD.
