I would say a salt wash plus putting it under direct, bright, sunlight. Despite the protests I already posted many pics from indoors/outdoors night-time, etc... and the damn thing never looks the same even in the same scenes. I think it's still darker than the base color should be but I'd bet a particular kind of weathering is probably what would bring out a more accurate color.

I wonder if you could approximate the weathering by approximating the conditions?

Mask off what you don't want weathered (canopy and tampos etc.) then run a saline solution through an airbrush and shoot it straight down the nose and wings while adjusting the mix and pressure etc. That would approximate salt water vapor traveling down the aircraft at (relative) high speed. Might take a while but then so would weathering under actual circumstances.

It would be kind of like taking a pressure washer to your paint job. You'd have to be careful of course.

I think it's almost impossible to release an anime accurate color of VF-0D, unless it comes with some weathering.

The main problem is not the color but the weathering itself IMO...

We only saw VF-0D's color which was already hardly washed and weathered by mission conditions

Yeah, I think we can just assume that the color we're getting from Arcadia represents a minty new VF-0D fresh off the showroom floor.

I think the salt wash on the darker blue would probably be the best way to approximate that look. Makes sense considering that the VF-0D we see is carrier based.

Thanks for the early pics! Can't wait for mine now!

But that over-opened wing pose is damn ugly!

Agreed. Ol' girl wasn't meant to spread her wings.

I like it! Waiting on payment request from HLJ....

Jebus. How did I miss the boat on this one?

Got pics of the Musha Gundams?

Wow, sorry I missed out on this since I commissioned the Cap to make that conversion kit and donated that very VF-1J as the guinea pig. I coulda had it back!

SOLD!

Bump - and since someone asked, here's a pic of the wing joints showing no stress marks, just dust and a tiny paint chip.

Bump

Decided to let this go. I've never transformed it. Simply unpacked it and displayed it in fighter mode. Box and all accessories are included.

SOLD

PM if interested and thanks for looking!

(crappy cell phone) Pics!

Still looking.

Like the title says. If you've got one, drop me a line.

Want it now. NOW!

Excellent transaction and item with aaajin!

Received! Thanks!

Payment sent!

PM'd

Wow, Millia looks, dare I say, sexy?

Good luck with the sale.

The inset pic at the bottom right looks like it might come with a protoculture city miniature??

So, it fires nothing? Hell, at least build an airsoft into the thing!

If this is a VF-0D, I'm on it.

Locked!

It's hard to tell from the pics if they've managed to streamline the fuselage more than the original Yammie model. That was one of the major issues with the original for me anyway. The 19 is so streamlined but the original toy was way chunky. Nice to see they've integrated the neck cover in fighter mode. No more making them out of spray can lids like back in the day .

Take my money now! and bring on the SMS variant!!

Best is to mix and match... 2x2.5" rods + 1x4" rod... 2x4" + 1x6"... You get the picture...

I wish they would offer that as an option. I'd love to be able to buy the stands and arms a la carte.
