Vermillion team paint scheme

[astromanED]

Where oh where can I find the paint scheme (detailed mind you) for Ben and Max? All I come up with is max's all blue white stripe scheme and a mass production sceme insted of Bens. I'm trying to nail these down with out making a bunch of screen captures (translated: I'm being lazy) any direction will be appreciated.

holy crap... someone else built a kaiyodo small scale VF-1.. I wonder who's that is...

[astromanED]

Thats me. I had posted it on starshipmodeller when I first finished it. I think it may have been cleaned from that site though

The Max you have pictured is from the Macross Movie Do You Remeber Love. In that movie Max is blue and Kakizaki (Ben Dixon in Robotech) is green. The schemes are identical, just substitute the blue with green.

In the TV series Macross, Max and Kakizaki share the same exact scheme again, only Kakizaki (Ben) is tan.

There are differences between the TV and DYRL schemes, so hunt around a little for which version you want to do. Look at the old VF-1A kits from Imai and Arii for the schemes. This site has both instruction and box art that lists both Max versions.

BTW, Kakizaki (Ben) paint scheme is totally different than the mass produced scheme.

I pretty much got the color scheme down now. I'm going for the mostly white Max. Now what I need is all the little bits and pieces like arrows, and danger markings. I was thinking about copying all the little bits from the DYRL models, but leaving out the skull and crossbones and most of the color markings. The model I was showing was just to show off and had nothing to do with the thread itself. As far as the ben dixon scheme, it is identical to the max scheme just a light grey brown or some thing. Anyone have a dead on color match? THANKS everyone for the info. what a great community, eh?

these details are what I'm also looking for

[Gerwalker]

For those details you must use the Hasegawa decals/instructions (look for them in the main site) The Hase kits have a ton of stencils and warnings markings and AFAIK they are canon. One detail that belongs only to the DYRL valks is the warning red "V" in the intakes.

BTW:

And make yourself a favor: take a couple of minutes and learn the Macross names of the characters you are refering. There are some people in these forums that are very touchy with the Robotech names

Max = (Max) Maximilian Jenius

Ben = Hayao Kakizaki

Rick = Hikaru Ichijyo

Roy Fokker = Roy Focker

As you can see just a couple of first names differ.

No need to offend. I much prefer the macross stuff to the robotech stuff. As for the names? The diorama I'm putting together is robotech specific, thus the naming. Thanks for the "V" tip.

[Agent ONE]

If its Robotech specific why the DYRL paint? That never existed in RT.

Sorry if you already know the names and so. Just wanted to save you from a flame war...

What diorama are you putting toghether? What models you are using?

There used to be a decals sheet from Wave with a lot of stencils and markings for valks, destroids and zentradi in three different scales. Nowadays they are hard to find and the Hasegawa decals are the best for 1/72 valks.

First let me state that earlier a posted "no need to offend" what i ment was I didnt mean to offend. SO let me explain my idea. Well, its gonna be a standard three valk thing from the episode "Blind game". I'm gonna mount it different though, instead of a "place on the mantle" piece I've been thinking of turning it into a wall hanging. Now, I do prefer the macross valk paint, but I could'nt resist this configurition. I've never seen before. Its pretty bizarre, I know, and I'm sure many will think I'm crazy, but I can't pass up doing the bizarre.
