Wish you Happy new year, everyone!

Sorry Guys, I did not update this on time. I'm busy with my work and so do my friend Mr. IO

He made some progress on this project in late November but was still stuck on the backpack's mechanical structure.
It was really hard to create a small transformation part for the backpack. The current structure is so frailly for transformation.

Now it can be compatible with the Fold pack but looks a little bit weird in Battroid mode.

Some progress

A prototype of back fast pack complete transform adapter, however it is frigile

and shoulder missiles with color

I would be interested in being able to 3D print it.

 

Thank you for you like it.

I was referring to the boosters not split vertically in half like the TREX parts but sounds like an even better plan to allow more customization.  

Decals for the boosters are a pain because it's mostly white markings so it's hard to print a set for yourself.

Yep, I'm considering make decals. And it make take several days for enquiry.

That's awesome, I'd love to print a set.  The backpacks, do they actually translate between fighter and battroid or do they have to be swapped out?

Sorry, it may makes you disappoint, the backpacks does not translate between the F & B mode. It needs different adapters. We think about several solotions of transform but the connection parts will be to fragile.

We will continue thinking about that.

Will there be decals included? I'd be down for a set.

Are these 3d resin or fdm?

Looks pretty close to the T-REX parts. I like the shoulder missile pod design and how it doesn't have those fragile arms. Also I like how the VF-25 boosters are one piece, thrusters are not on a ball joint,  and there is a hole to peg the front tip.

Emmm, we don't include decals now, but we will discuss about that.

The printing is not FDM, it has smooth surface.

The shoulder missile pod structure shows on the top area of those picture I posted. You could check that.

Well about the VF25 boosters, I personally want it to be a seperate structure, which the booster engine and missle pod could be  divided.

Therefore we could have more weapon choices such as those on the masterfile. 

However my friend's Rhino7 has some issues with modeling that. It claps when trying seperate.

So, you're going for a resin kit?

Those look pretty good, honestly. I imagine there'd definitely be some interest around here.

So, we think about selling print kits, as some parts may not suitable for resin copy.
And the price of resin material rises quite a lot this year.

I will continue contact some resin copy workshop to compare the cost.

Hey guys! 
I post on behalf of my 'Macross fan group' friend to introduce his works of YF-19 FAST pack compatible with Arcadia's YF-19.
He was inspired by the FAST PACK in 'MASTER FILE of YF-19' (page 061)  and wants to combine VF-19ADV's FAST PACK with it.

It was difficult to find the ADV FAST pack kit from T-REX, so he referencing Hasegawa's line art.

After he posted some pictures on Chinese social media, there are a lot of Macross fans shows interest. So he was thinking to sell the kit. It was a pitty that the FAST pack kit could not fully transform with YF-19, but we couldn't found a better solution right now.
If you guys also have interests please leave your comments. We also wants to know how many of your willing to purchase it.

Now the modeling is almost finished, several samples have been printed. Here are some technical details:
On the shoulder, it has a missile launcher similar to T-REX's design. It could transform with the toy.

The FAST pack on the back is fixed and used two kinds of adapters for fighter and battlroid mode.

The VF-25 style FAST pack could allow rotate the wings which DX VF-19adv can not. It also provides a pair of adapters to mount on the side of the wings in battlroid mode.

Thanks for watching!

Update on the first post

* Add QF3000E Ghost

 

The QF3000E Ghost is another minor aircraft in Macross. UNS deployed hundreds of QF3000Es but sadly they only appeared for a few seconds in episode one.

 

This kit allows open/close option of landing gears, air brake, missile bay, and arresting hook. The mold is mostly crisp and smooth, but it'll need trimming between boosters and nuzzles. It’s a simple and fun build overall.

 

It’s an unusual looking fighter, have fun!

May I ask the scale of QF3000? Is that 1/144 scale?

And where could find this resin copy?

Hi everyone!

Supposedly tomorrow finish the quarantine here in Mexico so hope the shipments stuck finally been released and delivered quickly 

but also remember this depends If the destiny already has open the customs offices and if there are flights available

 

Also to clarify about the reports of some missing parts:

This specific part it has to split in 2 so if you put it together can see is there in opposite case please let me know to send spares

All rght! Got it!

Thank you for responding my question. I didn't understand these two parts when receive it.

Awesome!

Learn a lot from your works!

@Xigfrid @Seto Kaiba

 I have digital version of that doujinshi book 1

And I have found the second book of that doujinshi on a porn website, XD

@XigfridI have found some product on Taobao(Alibaba), you may interested

the 1/48 cardboard material Hanger model in Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni

A 1/72 scale completed model of No.3 elevator platform on Nimitz, which I think the fall arrestor detail was wrong

Another 1/72 Nimitz elevator, 3D print or resin kit

The catapults were also make a difference in 3rd and 5th Episodes

And there have a more interest senario, when the body of human bird came out,  it get out under the Main island. That means it came though almost all the hanger and the carrier seems no danmage other than the hole.

You could also find the catapults have slightly changed compare to previous screenshot

Personally I think the total length of each catapuls should be same, eapecially the two in the front

About the Monster, I think there is no way to explain that other than 'bug'.

In Episode 5, the monster transported by the elevator in front of Main Island.

And it should also consider aircraft numbers such as VF-0A, VF-0D, Ghosts, helicopters, AWACS, and plane for refueling

the VF-0D takes a lot of space in the hanger as it can not fold its wings

In the animation, the VF-0S wearing reactive armor and push SV-51 out of the hanger, which means there should be enough height of the hanger, at least the height should be equal with SV-51 on its knees

And last, as your considering, the prototype monster should also be carried in this carrier.

I think the GA Graphic group should carefully consider the 515m length data, is not an absurd figure when producing the Masterfile

And the Cheyenne base behind the Main island should be 6 and in two lines

I have reviewed the 3 episode of MZ, and make some screenshots

P1 shows three Cheyenne stand in line; in P2, there is another Cheyenne behind the first line.

In P3 the first three Cheyenne was destroyed you can see the fire and smoke.

P4 makes an overhead view of the Island. 

Another great project! 

but I think your current model in SU is still smaller than the Asuka II in the Animation

Although the official setting the carrier as 276m, in my opinion, the parameter in Masterfile (515m) is more reliable

firstly, there should be a large part of the dock containing the 'human bird' body
