    VF-22S Conversion Parts for 1/60 Yamato YF-21

    in The Workshop!

    Posted · Edited by PsYcHoDyNaMiX

    Okay to clarify about the bay doors. These will most likely be either snap on or magnet assisted panels in which the existing fast pack bay doors for the 21 will not attach to. The 22 bay doors will be replacing the 21 fast pack bay doors. Its up to you guys if you want to add on the fast packs for the rear tail fins (arm blades). Yes the VF-22 has never been seen with a fastpack set on (one can only imagine!).

    If I'm not mistaken the VF-22 actually stores its gun pods in the bay doors; unlike the outside of the YF-21. I most likely will not be able to include that feature in the VF-22 conversion because there is quite a bit of anime magic involved for stowing the gun pods. I could modify the VF-22 bays for the feature, but then the bottom of the fighter mode will look quite awkward.

    What I can do (which is definitely not lineart or anime correct) is to include the slots for attaching the gunpods onto the VF-22 bay covers themselves. Kind of like the actual (non-fast packed) 21 doors. These slots will either go on the inner-side or the outer-side of the VF-22 bay doors.

    Hope this insight helps.

    VF-22S Conversion Parts for 1/60 Yamato YF-21

    Alright, I've said I will do it and I've already put the project in motion. I have the necessary supplies to start the prototypes and I'm going to put out the idea of my progress. I would like to hear a little about what fellow MWers think (no flaming please).

    For the face of the VF-22... I am going to make it an attachment once the YF-21 has been converted into battroid, one could just attach it on maybe via clips or magnet(s). The reason being is that there isn't much clearance for the existing face of the YF-21 as it folds under the top part of the fuselage/battroid hood while converting it from battroid to gerwalk/fighter mode. I could just an entire remolding of the actual faceplate, but the VF-22's face protrudes out just a hair more and I know it will still clip the bottom stem of the antenna.

    The canopy of the fighter will entirely replace the current one, so some disassembling will be required.

    The bay doors for the VF-22 will most probably be a fastpack attachment like the current ones for the YF-21. Due to the force/stress that the existing bay doors themselves (not the fastpack attachments) undergo I feel this would result in a longer life span for the custom VF-22 bay doors (less cracking, chipping, etc.). I am hoping to make them sit a bit more flush when attached to the YF-21.

    I will post up some progress pics sometime soon...

    Woah... The Revos for the 19, 21 and even the Regult are hot.

    I think they put a pin point barrier on the 21's tailfin on it's forearm as well for that battle scene.
