wolframbane Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I wanted to work on coloring some orthodic views (fore, aft, port, dorsal, ventral) of the VF-X-4 or YF-4 (the prototype for the VF-4 Lightning III). Would anyone have any good quality profile images of the VF-X-4, or even rougher quality images that could be retraced? This would look incredible with the color scheme of Skull-One. Note that there are notable stylistic differences between the VF-X-4 prototype and the later production VF-4 Lightning III. Here is the one good image of the VF-X-4 top view I have been able to find online. I have cleaned it up and enlarged it a bit. Now we just have to either find the side and front.

hellohikaru Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I seem to recall someone made several views of the VF-X-4 a couple of years back if i am not senile yet. The person made several variations of the nose area for it. A search can't seem to locate it though. It could be in the old boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gammera Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 basicly chop a vf-1 up and arrange all the parts in a VF-4 config. I have a pic (somewhere) but no orthographic views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chthonic Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Where did you find that one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolframbane Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 The image that i found was from the Mecha Size comparisons on robotech.com, which i cropped, enlarged and cleaned. The same image is used on the cover of Robotech Sourcebook #1 by Wildstom Comics. I am trying to design my own side view, and then extrapolate to the other views. After comparing the VF-X-4 images to the VF-1, it would seem that the cockpit section is very similar (except for fins and the FLIR), so I am going to expand upon it and try to create the VF-X-4.
