Guppy Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 Anyone out there got any good line art scans of the 11-c or other 11-b type variants? I have an extra yammie 11b I'm gonna customise. The only pic I can find is of the 1/144 Bandai kit: http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?BAN46230 Also, if anyone's pulled apart an 11-b to customise (besides repairing the hip joint) I'd like to hear your thoughts/suggestions!

RichterX Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 I didn't notice before how difficult was to take a snapshot of a VF that most of the time is just exploding... Quote
UN Spacy Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 My bad.....I thought you wanted the Full Armor variant. Quote
Wabbit Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 Newbie-question: What is the main difference between the B and C variant? Quote
mechaninac Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 (edited) VF-11B is from Macross Plus and VF-11C is from Macross 7, other than that... Edited July 6, 2004 by mechaninac Quote

Anubis Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 (edited) VF-X-11: Prototype version. Two produced, one equipped with fold booster.VF-11A: First manufactured version (produced in small numbers). Short barrel on anti-aircraft laser gun and two windows on main sensor mounted on head turret. VF-11B: Version in UN Spacy service in 2040. Lengthened barrel on anti-aircraft gun, one window on main sensor, and increased engine thrust. Deployed on 37th long-distance immigration fleet. VF-11C: Version with enhanced navigational electronic equipment. All VF-11s in 2040 were in the process of being upgraded beginning with the first squadron. VF-11D: Two-seater version. VF-11D Custom: Custom two-seater version manufactured by Shinsei Industry and the Macross 7 Project M Special Technologies Group in one lot of approximately 20 craft with enlarged canard wing, enhanced engines, VF-19's vernier thrusters, and space/atmospheric sound booster FAST Pack. Deployed in Jamming Bird force. VF-11MAXL: Version with FF-2099A engines identical to the VF-16's, strengthened overall structure to tolerate the engines' thrust, and redesigned modified delta wing for increased fuselage strength and aerodynamic characteristics. A limited number of these special reserve fighters exists, all manufactured to order by the pilots. VF-11MAXL Custom: Custom version manufactured by Shinnakasu Heavy Industry and the Macross 7 Special Technologies Group with internal sound system, speaker launcher pod, and FF-2099A engines similar to the VF-16's. C had a navigation system upgrade, about the only difference from the B. All existing VF-11 A/B's were to get the C upgrade. Also of interest is now the MAXL has a separate entry in the compendium finally apart from Mylene's custom. Edited July 6, 2004 by Anubis Quote

Guppy Posted July 7, 2004 Author Posted July 7, 2004 Myerjesse - I'm reading your post now.. don't know how I missed it! You are really going to town on your 11b - my ambitions are much lower - I'm just gonna dissassemble, strip, prime and repaint with an airbrush. If I come across any cool paint variations I'll send 'em to you. I have a Hasegawa option decal set (http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?HSG65757) so if I go with a straight 11c black&white paint sheme I'll spruce it up with some squadron decals. I AM thinking of modding the 11b gun to make it like the 11c but as far as the other cosmetic changes go I think I'll just skip it. It could end in disaster. Let me know if you had any probs disassembling it! RichterX - Thanx for the screenshot - That will help! Maybe I should make one with burn marks from getting blown up.. If anyone has Macross7 Art books I'd be much in debt for a scan out of it! Quote
Graham Posted July 7, 2004 Posted July 7, 2004 Heh, I keep promising Guppy to scan him the VF-11 color squadron pics from TIAS Mac PLus, but I never seem to have the time these days Graham Quote
Uxi Posted July 7, 2004 Posted July 7, 2004 I WISH Yamato would just do a white VF-11C version (VF-X2 if not M7)... As well as a VF-22S. Quote
Guppy Posted July 7, 2004 Author Posted July 7, 2004 Heh, I keep promising Guppy to scan him the VF-11 color squadron pics from TIAS Mac PLus, but I never seem to have the time these days Graham Yesss..... that's right! LOL! That's why I posted this! And sebastian as well, he is full of empty promises to scan me pics! But I guess it's fair. I've promised to send pics thru for the custom section and haven't got around to it. Quote
Myersjessee Posted July 7, 2004 Posted July 7, 2004 Guppy, Sounds excellent...I can't wait to see it! Im going to do mine in a military scheme...not sure which yet though... Quote
Guppy Posted July 7, 2004 Author Posted July 7, 2004 Guppy,Sounds excellent...I can't wait to see it! Im going to do mine in a military scheme...not sure which yet though... I did miliary looking vf-1's in medium blue and khai type green and they looked pretty good. I used Tamiya paints - they do a lot of military variations. Just save your sanity and avoid a camo scheme! Like u said in your other thread.. I'm bad a multi tasking too. I have 3 MG kits to finish painting, then a PG zaku to do, then I'll get onto the 11-c job! Maybe I'll have something to show by 2005. One last query to anyone who knows.. the 11-c gunpod seems to be a lot more cylindrical than the 11-b - the front half is basically a slimmer cylinder than the back half. Am I right? If that's the case it would be pretty easy to scratch-build one. Quote
