Firefox Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 Hi Did anyone make it or willing to make custom decal for VF-1 2500th Anniversary, like the picture shown below? Quote
Jawjaw Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 That would be one tricky decal since it covers the entire back and wings of the plane. I think it would be easier to mask and paint something like that. Quote
Neova Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 You have anymore close up detailed shots of those decals? Anasazi can scan them and make the sheet for us. As for the confetti camo, while a lot of work, i would say a custom masking it would give the best results. Quote
hellohikaru Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 What is the 2500 number for?? 2500th VF-1 constructed by Stonewell-Bellcom/Shinnikasu(spl?) Quote
Blaine23 Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 2500th Anniversary? I knew Macross was an old anime, but... wow. Quote
Skull Leader Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 It was the final VF-1 to roll of the assembly line at SW/BC Quote
Anasazi37 Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 While I could make decals for the entire valk, it would look MUCH better if the major work was done with masking and airbrushing. In my experience, covering large areas with decals generally does not work very well. I believe DOM made a 1/60 version a few years ago that sold for quite a bit on eBay. It was a real work of art. I could make all of the detailing decals no problem (if I have good enough scans of the originals), but there's a hefty waiting list for custom projects. Right now it's about six months.... Quote
Firefox Posted June 23, 2004 Author Posted June 23, 2004 Oh! I don't mean the entire thing. I mean the 2500th Valkyrie at the canopy and the companies logos on the tail fins. I attached here are those logos. Any chance of making them? Quote

I already have the company logos scanned in at high res from another decal sheet. The valkyrie logo will take some work, but it shouldn't be too bad. The only hurdle is *when* I'll have the time to do it. I have quite the backlog of projects. My best guesstimate is at least a month or two. Quote
Firefox Posted June 23, 2004 Author Posted June 23, 2004 Thanks! It's OK for one or two month. I'm currently masking the VF-1 and start spraying. To my speed I think I need at least two month to complete the spraying. Please let me know if you've done it and the cost($) of it Quote
ChristopherB Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 Welcome back Devin! If I remember correctly, the sponsor and logo decals were available via one of the Macross Decal Option Sets, or perhaps one of the clear valkyrie decal sets. Perhaps that is what you are referring to when you mentioned the scan you made. Yes, the one made by DOM using a Yamato 1/60 was absolutely amazing. It did indeed fetch a very good price. Sincerely, Christopher Quote

The scan of the sponsors I have is from the Macross Option Decal #2 set, where they appear in dark purple. I know that there are a few other Option sets floating around out there, including the Minmay Guard one, and one of them might have the 2500th valkyrie logo. If so, you might be able to track one down, Firefox. I'd suggest posting something in the Wanted forum, but let me know if you don't find what you need. Quote
Firefox Posted June 24, 2004 Author Posted June 24, 2004 Hi Anasazi37 I found only 1/72 scale. Besides, they don't have the 2500th Valkyrie logo, just ther sponsors' logos. I would need the 2500th Valkyrie logo, the sponosrs' logos and the U.N.SPACY words, the rest I could take care. If you could make a 1/48 one, it would be a very big help. Thanks! Quote

Oh, you want it in 1/48. I didn't realize that. Sure, I can help you. I'll add your project to the queue and PM you when I get closer to being able to start it. Quote
