STEP BY STEP FIX YF-19 BUG:

PART 1-- LANDING GEAR:

1. BEFORE MODIFY

2. use modelling hand drill drill out some space that the pic show

3. see ~

4. FINISH!

Hayao. Can you post more pics of your gunpod fix?

later, my cam run out of battary, take it tomorrow~

someone editted that out quick enough....

ha ha, the "someone" is me...

forgot can PM u to talk about the price....

maybe u edit out the price too.

anyway, you better jealous the "someone" who can get it for free.

thanks for your post hayao, you always come through with the fixes/mods/tweaks.

if you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for your 19?

just hope what I found will useful for everyone

got my YF-19, then Fixed the landing gear angel problem and the gunpod positioning problem.

1. about the rear landing gear, actually , the production design are the same with the VF-0,

but yamato stupid haven't make room for the landing gear to rotate outward, so, just simply use a modelling hand drill to drill a little hole make room for it.

2. about the gunpod, the problem is the plastic of the handle part are too "elastic" and a little bit thin,

so , I took out my old plastic ruler then cut out a small strip , then stick it on the handle, make one of the corner become thicker to get balance.

just a few minute works and make it fine~

Thanks again, so..err.. when should we adopt "SDF-1"?

Just as honneamise said, it's up to u . If you want it is SDF-1, that's it!

(if anybody had the time th think about minor repaint jobs in the middle of all the Zentradi assaults)

I think they have many many times to do it, you can see even the two young bird- MAX & KAKIZAKI have their own special color VF-1A, so, repaint some few words just a easy job~

Sorry to bother you, can you explain the two versions, "PROMETHEUS" & "ARMD-1" ?

In the TV version, are Hikaru, Max and Hayao = PROMETHEUS? And Roy = ARMD-1?

When Hikaru took over Roy's VF1S, did he continue as PROMETHEUS?

Is "SDF-1" marking only used in DYRL?

Thanks for any answers!

TV VERSION, before episode 27, all of the them are belong to PROMETHEUS, but don't know after episode 27..

and about Dyrl, they are belong to "ARMD-1"after join the SDF-1.before that, they are also belong to Prometheus. this is according to the GAME OPENING SEQUENCE , MOVIE OPENING SEQUENCE and the hasegawa box art.

Where did you get the Hud decals from ?

maybe Takatoy sticker, I can't remember..

If just talking about decal mapping, most of the different are on the leg part.

1.The "OO1"on the tail fin are place on the top middle while Dyrl is near the back edge.

2. "PROMETHEUS" instead of "ARMD-1"

3. The "001"fonts side on Foot Fin is larger then Dyrl.

4. U can see a no."176" near the nozzle. the correct one on VF-1S is "313", This only apply on TV version Valk.

5. the fronts side on the leg near the nozzle, have a "VF" there, TV only,

and the black arrow on the head.

6. The "skull" badge near the cockpit ... It's up to u, haven't see it on TV, but I like it !

7. TV VERSION HUD PANEL

LAST ONE, red missile head.

and about the FP, I think it's no different between the two version, except the "PROMETHEUS" & "ARMD-1"

hope this can help u

sorry to hear Devin shut down your decal business,

I get a paris act decal form you when I haven't

get the Alps.

if anyone need waterslide decal in the future, maybe I can help.

actually, the decal works I just make for my own use at this time since I

get the printer, if anyone want to get help about this, pm to me,

but the point is, I'm can't take much time for this works,

so I just can provide limited production, but try my best

Concerns I have:

-I hope the macross kite is tampoed on because I dont know how they expect us to put a sticker on a place that opens up for tranformation.

but I hope they don't do that unless they can make sure the position can 100% ACCURATE ... put sticker by user , just one cut to make it seperate, not a difficult job

that last page I almost thought a -0A was breakdancing...weird.

that's the point ! the pic just want to show u the VF-0 have a very high "posebility",

even it's can "breakdancing"!

can anyone answer this? graham? someone?

the only purpose is for the back booster of the reactive armor~

And Kakizaki, did you use Yamato stickers or Takatoys?

this is yamato stickers

great! never seen this in HK!

You need Marlboro Milds, I believe they're blue so you wouldn't even have to switch brands.

They haven't ship the Milds Marlboro to HK. Even I don't know the blue one exceeded!

The stack of Marlboro Lights at the back of the pic! haha! Fits the colour scheme of Kakizaki!

interesting !

so:

HIKARU:

FOCKER:

KAKIZAKI:

MAX jump to another brand ...

I do hope so. Looking at the pics it looks like the tip is a dark color. Maybe Hayao had to paint the head laser white or maybe he added the dark spot at the tip....sure hope its white

I drill a little hole on the tip!

this time I try to weathering and add some "metal" feel on it, I don't know is it really success,

but still want to share what I do.

I using gundam weathering marker "bronze metallic" and "silver" (bove are water base) and tamiya weathering master <C set> (three color, include orange rust, gun metal and silver),this set is just like

a makeup powder set, have a brush to dry wash on the surface. will take some pic. tomorrow.

first, paint the "bronze metallic" directly on the surface, than wipe it by dry cloth. we will get a darker color but

have a shiny surface. than use the silver marker draw the panel line, also wipe out the exceed , leave the sharp silver line on it.

then use the brush put on the weathering powder, add the Gun metal first, than a little bit silver to

make it more metal like. the last use the Gun metal again to dim the silver color, and make it darker.

finish~

have some pic here:

Beautiful! It almost makes me want an Angel Birds. What exactly did you use to panel line your valk, Hayao?

using water base gundam weathering marker, draw it wilfully, finish the whole plane, then use cotton ball all a little bit water to wash the surface, clean and sharp penal line was done~!

Excellent work. Is the Hasegawa marking supposed to go on the gunpod as well.

The H's model not supposed to used the gunpod. so no decal for it.

but I will repaint the 1/48 gunpod in white , then applied the decal on it.

Are you going to make these decals available to the rest of us? I have an Angel Bird on order, and would like the option of correct decals

if any people need it, send me a PM, I'll reply for detail.

Excellent job.

Yes, the Hasegawa markings look so much better.

What type of printer do you use?

I'm using Alps MD-5500
