HWR MKII Posted January 26, 2005 Author Share Posted January 26, 2005 That pic of the "dirty"19 is from episode 2 after isamu had done some extensive testing(what he did we will never know) so isamu was put in as a chase plane pilot flying a rocket boosted VF-11. Thanks NB4M the pic does help a little bit. i was going to detail it drawing from real world physical examlpes canopy frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACtually in the episode version he doesn't get to fly the YF-19 until after the VF-11 accident. IIRC that still is shown only in the movie version.

HWR MKII Posted January 28, 2005 Author Share Posted January 28, 2005 Jipe im leaving the cockpit tub dark grey because the LCD type display used on the walls wouldnt be on unless the pilot was in there and the acft was powered up. I am going to add more details to the cockpit still. I have already cut my canopy in 2 pieces and am adding frame rail details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWR MKII Posted January 28, 2005 Author Share Posted January 28, 2005 A shot of the underside for anyone who wanted to see it. The gunpod seems a little large to me but what can you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWR MKII Posted February 2, 2005 Author Share Posted February 2, 2005 One last time before the decals get here. if there are any details i may have overlooked or forgotten or you think might be good to add let me know because once the clear coat is on theres no chance to change it.

Jagull Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 is one of your legs twisted a bit? i test fitting mine and noticed the left leg (from back view) is rotated slightly to the left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 is one of your legs twisted a bit? i test fitting mine and noticed the left leg (from back view) is rotated slightly to the left I recently finished one for a customer. One leg was twisted slightly. I had to shim it with some sytrene strip to even things out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWR MKII Posted February 12, 2005 Author Share Posted February 12, 2005 I didnt have as much of a problem although i did true up alot of the mateing surfaces before i assembled them. i also cut off some of the locator pegs on the parts to fiddle them into place a bit more.

HWR MKII Posted February 23, 2005 Author Share Posted February 23, 2005 (edited) Well everyone i recieved my decals from devin today and they are great. i only have one gripe but its small the red on the fighting kite emblem looks to be on the orange side but other than that they are perfect and just wahat i need. theres also enough extra roundels and markings for me to reassemble my old VF1S strike in a low vis or enigma type scheme One last thing i noticed is that the instrument panel decal isnt on the sheet either. looks like i will have to go blind painting it. A BIG THANKS OUT TO DEVIN FOR HIS FINE WORK! Edited February 23, 2005 by HWR MKII Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagull Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 was your nose cone filled with pinholes/airbubbles? everytime i fill them in and sand the material down smooth, more of them pop up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWR MKII Posted March 6, 2005 Author Share Posted March 6, 2005 There were some but a good filler primer too care of it well enough. my copy had no air bubble problems at all. some pinholes but no bubbles. the thing for you to do is to get it as smooth as possible and appl a filler primer then wet sand it with a very fine grain sandpaper to keep more bubbles from appearing.

HWR MKII Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 I know its been a long while since i started this and alot has happened. I finally got a weekend to finish up alot of projects that just needed final touches. I present you the 1/48 scale YF-19. She finally has her decals. When it was complete it still looked a little clean so i gave it some postshading to make it look like Isamu had just gotten back from a tough days flying against Guld on the test range. I threw in a shot if it next to a 1/72 hase VF-1S for size comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadefalconguard Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Nice birdie, me want, me want. Nice work on the 19 great to see it finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWR MKII Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 Thank you jade. This was actually a fun kit to build even with the little problems it had. I actually enjoyed scratchbuilding the replacement parts. I would love to do anoter one but i dont think this kit will ever be available again at the price i paid for it. I have some custom ideas in mind, think RED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jardann Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 That looks really great! It sure is a big kit in 1/48 scale! You are certainly a master modeler IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishimaru Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 *dies* Thats one hell of a model I admire your work alot I wish I had your skill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWR MKII Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 Thanks guys. Keep an eye out here for pics of the YF-21 since that will be getting its finishing touches soon. I have most of the decals on it now i just need to do a little more postshading, paint the wheel wells,install the landing gear, and clear coat it.
