Though note that some of the numbers that appear on the starboard side appear backwards as I think the style should have been slanted backward instead on both sides of the tail. Eg this number 2 is backwards

$AUD30 looking for a quick sale.

Hi all,

Been clearing my stash of old kits and came across a whole bunch of Macross Zero kits. I bought multiple incase I screwed em up. But now its time for me to part with them.

I have VF-0A and VF-0D kits for sale. Shipping from Sydney, Australia. PM me if anyone is interested.

Honey, lets play Macross Delta tonight. I'm going to be the Elysion....

I saw it and thought the same thing, but left it alone knowing David was the right person to have the first word. I think one of the reasons is that probably SEABEE5150 was influenced by the German or French (?) use of "Marine" (related to the Sea, as in "maritime")to mean Naval Force (Navy)

But his avatar is that of the Navy squadron he did. I hope to do one in VF-103 too but will prefer to go for the low vis scheme.

That looks fantastic

Here are some full colour pics. The green looks a lot better in sunlight.

That looks rather good, an interesting take on the custom scheme idea. (I am thinking about a pre Falklands Fleet Air Arm scheme personally) Perhaps some red or white lined boxed areas around the flaps or other components of note might brake up the large areas of flat green, examples of these can be seen on lots of Japanese planes of this period. Another idea would be to drill out the holes in the wind break behind the cockpit as this can add a lot of depth and interest. Anyhow great idea nicely executed, keep up the work!

Weasel

Thanks, yeah I'd like to drill holes on the speed break.The red boxes would have been a great idea. I decided not to do it because of the amount of masking involved to paint them and I thought they were 'areas you could step on' which may not be the same. But if I could make/find some decals to do it, I sure would add them on. One thing I do regret, is not being able to find some tail marking decals of some of Japan's top zero aces, like Saburo Sakai and Nishizawa. I would have loved to put some yellow numbers/letters from their aircraft on the tail. But because I couldn't find them, I just resorted to the F-15J Senkyo 2002 tail art.

I'm hoping to do a VF-0A in F-14D scheme of VF-2 as the next model. At some point, I also would like to do one in a British Harrier scheme, but more like the modern RAF Harrier colours.

WTF??? PEOPLE!!!

No comments, no suggestions!!!???

A simple and needed help, related to macross in the end, gets no support; yet theres almost a daily thread talking about the painted letters in the zillion produced VF-1 1/48, or those about Sheryl's tits vs Klan's

For heavens sake......

Maybe you should ask your local dept store or bedding related store?

When you're ready for the macross part, others might help out. Though with bedding.....isn't for little kids??

I have the feeling the paints are too thick

some panel lines would be really great

The green turned out darker than I expected and makes the panel lines harder to see from a distance. Though because I want this to represent a newly painted once off scheme, I kept panel line washes to a bare minimum (under the nose and underneath mid fuselage ) and no weathering.

Thanks guys,

This would be one very expensive Kamikaze should it ever had to resolve to that!

Here are some more pics closer to finish. I still have to finish the gunpod, do the head, add on a coat of clear acrylic and then add on the lights.

Almost finished this VF-0S in Japanese colours. Took some pictures and thought might as well put some up here.

Anyway, I was inspired to do a scheme that is similar to the Japanese WW2 A6M5 zero, an iconic Japanese aircraft that the Japanese took great pride in.

Since one of the companies that contributed to the VF-0 was Japanese and the VF-0 sharing similar name to A6M5 Zero I figured it should be fitting that the new Zero mark the occasion with its predecessor's scheme. Decals used were from the VF-0S and F-15J squadrons that took part in Senkyo 2002.

Amongst other things, I still have yet to do the head and haven't finished the gun pod.

I've also decided to leave the conformal fuel tanks off and display it with the FAST pack later. Also modified the pilot by re-attaching the arms and legs and using the head of a standing pilot from the Fujimi 1/72nd Kit.

I learnt many things doing this one. Tamiya Masking tape leaves quite a bit of residue on gunze gloss paint that i couldn't really get rid of despite trying out Zippo lighter fluid and WD40. In the end, I had to repaint the surface masking off the flat colour(white). Anyone have any alternatives to this?

Also I'm not sure if other people experienced this before but when I tried to paint flat paint over gloss surface, the flat paint cracked. In the end, I had to use thinner to rub down the gloss paint so it gets back to the primer level and paint flat from that. Any tips in that area?

Anyway, here are some photos.

Thanks!

I've put my pics on my photobucket site. there are just a few extra ones.

VF-0A Phoenix Normal

VF-0S Phoenix Commander Version

I'm hoping to have these displayed in a diorama of them flying formation. Though i'm looking for suitable diorama bases that depict the Pacific Ocean.

Worst case, i'd have to try and make my own with resin

amazing work....did u use the same grey as the vf-0S or was it a different grey?

Thanks! It was a different grey. Well, not even grey really. I tried to get as close to the instructions and as close to the box photos as possible. Which, according to the instructions, was 70% white and 30% hemp. But i think i ended up using a bit more on the white ratio and less on hemp. Though the VF-0S was just H311

that is looking very nice, good work!

i oso like the rabbits scheme that you choose,

a good break from the typical skull scheme

i plan to do a VF-25G in the VF-0A scheme soon,

will definitely refer to ur work when i get to it

Thanks! The scheme is straight out of the box. Though they added the white rabbit in the area just behind the cockpit. I thought it would look better with it. If only these characters had a bit more story instead of just getting shot down lol

I just finished the VF-0A though I still have to do the Tail Lights and the Gun Pod

Great work, though the problem you have with the front landing gear is that it cant take off using catapults anymore. How did you do the leading edge?

Great Work!

Just a question about the wing lights, did you spray on the clear colour? or do you hand brush it?

That looks fantastic!
