More decals and more to come.

FEP-1.tif system command.tif

Hello and happy new yeah to all. here are some decals iv'e been working on. I have more to give (Cause i love you guys) but the size limit on the website was reached. I still have Apsaras and the right side of Cyun Yan. These pics can also be used in 3d programs to decorate your yukikaze 3d assets with the alpha channels. Remember to use the 'print scale' not the 'size scale'.

The tiffs carry the alpha channel which is why they are larger in size and there is very little compression compared to PNGs

Also when placing decals, the nose of the subject on the decal usually always points forward. e.g. Minx dress will flow backwards to the back of the jet.

I honestly hope the website doesn't change the format of the pics after i post them. It is possible they may not show up on the site, but once downloaded to your computer they should appear again.

I think................

any issues please let me know.

Posting now...

Found this recently online. I believe they are still for sale as of Nov 25. the Fairy logo looks great etched in stainless steel.

The woman represents no. 506 super sylph in the intelligence gathering, Special Air Service of the FAF. Code name MINX. her open and alluring posture represents her names meaning. The tarps unit attached to her, is a reminder that despite her alluring curves she is a deadly threat, ever vigilant and ever watching. Sealed with a kiss for luck or the kiss of death.

If anyone would like this as a decal i'll put it up

Okay don't be too harsh on my artwork. I know there is no official  Super sylph MINX motivator on unit 506. But if there was and General Booker had a soft spot for this one as kind of the squad mascot. would he send over to System command and commission some art for the inside of the vertical stabilizers? it's a fan fiction what if.

So this is what it means-

I downloaded my copies on books for iPhone shouldn't be to much of a hassle to find them.

Is Yukikaze on any streaming service? 

Graham my man!! Longtime no see. You look great. 
It’s rare now days. Getting a copy of the series is most affordable on the second hand market, as the company Gonzo and flying dog was dissolved into Bandai visual after going bankrupt a few years ago now. Are you asking because you are interested in seeing it for yourself? When the series first came out the novels hadn’t been translated yet so the series was all we had which was great. But it was when we could finally delve into the books that Kambayashi’s genius was revealed. To see the series you should watch the videos, then read both English novels, then watch the series again. But I warn you, just like the librarian in the never ending story. You’ll never be the same…..

Yeah there is a couple. The Cyun yan or translated spring swallow,  Carmilla, Zouk, and Apsaras. there is no art for any others and possibly isn't meant to be, besides Yukikaze. but I am currently working on a decal for minx as this is the unit in episode 3 guarding Banshee 4.  and affectionately named in honor of second lieutenant Anastasiya Kovalevskaya. the Ukrainian long haired blond of the unit.  Will try to make it ethereal and sexy at the same time as it goes with the fairy theme and will pair with Carmilla. then i will colourize Cyun Yan. The others are in colour so we have the correct look for Zouk and Apsaras. Iv'e been researching Japanese Spring swallows and they have a red patch on their neck with a black and white body. And if i'm feeling generous will post them all here with an alpha channel. by the way; Open carmilla in photoshop and print from there as i noticed it is quite ugly on screen on the forum, but will print very nicely as i said previously. adjust the size of the print in the print settings by percent. Don't shrink the pic itself and it will turn out sharp and crisp. For those with white ink printers (If you have one I most likely don't need to tell you anyway) but make a copy of the decal that you can completely desaturate to pure white. Then print that out and lay it down first so that the colour decal is bright with the true colour when laid over the top. enjoy!!

Still trying to wrap my head around Yamashita's crazy shapes.

Such fantastic photos. Is this your work? and is it the 1/72 Platz resin model

It prints out nicely as a decal and has an inbuilt alpha channel. noticed you were going to do one yourself. this is from the Fairy air force at war manual.

Very excited to get mine.  Thanks for sharing AN/ALQ128

Also did anyone catch this last week.. brilliant price for the size.. the lights light up as well.

Also up for pre order at HLJ right now. 
we are really being spoilt This year with Yukikaze merchandise. 

Looks like the Bandai Yf-21 came out this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sadly i missed out on this one. I'm interested if anyone ended up getting one if It comes with a canopy replacement for Battroid mode as I read it comes with one but I haven't seen a photo yet. when they finally arrive could someone post a pic just so I can wallow in misery some more. Ha ha.

By the way Sparrow S.A. is such an awesome Modeler. We should invite him into the  Yukikaze forum! Anybody on X that speaks Japanese that could do That?

Hello to all that are interested in acquiring the book I have translated it for you and given you the address

Love to see a photo of your Banshee 4, have you finished it yet? only took me 15 years. Ha ha!

Has anyone ever made a proper cockpit replacement for that all-resin-one-piece cockpit that we can't ever paint?

Yeah almost done . will send you a pic once i've painted Jack.

Damn, that's pretty tempting.
At least this one won't have another crappy cockpit 😄

Well said Valkyrie. Platz if your reading this, an operable cockpit please. Oh and 2 pilots.

Final mission Mave just came out last week

How about a blast from the past.

Remember these that almost came out! 

Oomoolie toys was going to release these along with the Banshee 4.

It is possible that Platz just used their image from the 1/144 kit.

It’s totally possible.

Snakerbot I know you just put the link in. Did you notice as well?

Have you just seen hlj? There will be a Jam sensor jammer 1/72 version of the Mave coming out in Dec. the most interesting part is that the picture shows the ram jet pheonix mark 11 engines!!!!!!!!! Will we finally be getting Mave’s final version in 1/72 or is it just a picture placement mistake????????? Please let this be real!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow they are very cool. I can definitely see the xwing tie fighter colours there. Yeah rest of the mesh is done not too much to go. Have designed a lot of ground vehicles and Bax heavy armour for my upcoming story.
