SebastianP 15 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Very nice execution! I kind of wish the VE-11 had a ventral sensor fin like the VE-1, RVF-25 and RVF-171 though, it just looks a little top heavy without one, but that's not a fault of yours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mintox 60 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I'm spewing I missed this. Now they are like mental prices on ebay. Just got to hope Hasegawa re-release them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kajnrig 267 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I thought this was a kitbash of a VF-11 and a VE-1, or maybe a custom job. I didn't realize Hasegawa came out with a VE-11 kit. Great job. Did you have to add the micromissile launchers, or did those come with the kit? (Also, wouldn't it not have weapons at all, being a VE and all? If I remember correctly, the VE-1 had custom Super Packs lacking missile launchers and a non-combat gunpod. Though the RVF-25 had its full complement of weapons, so eh...)

Though the RVF-25 had its full complement of weapons, so eh...) I used a few kits for this build, all 1/72 Hasegawa: * VE-11 Thunderseeker * VF-11D Thunder Focus * VF-1 Valkyrie Weapons Set. * VF-11B Super Thunderbolt * VE-1 Elintseeker The final two were used simply to pilfer the decals. I added the missile launchers because it looks cool! Maybe they've been modified with sensors or something :-) There's also a camera pod that goes along with the build. I'll have to get some photos with it attached the the undercarriage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maxoconnor 1 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Could you provide a list of the paints you used? I want to attempt this conversion and I'd like to use the same colors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I used the Mr Color paints recommended in the Hasegawa 1/72 VE-1 Elintseeker kit. 1999.co.jp has scans of model kit manuals where you can find the paints list. For example: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10020300/60/1 One exception is that I used Alclad paints for the metallics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
