Graham Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Anybody want to make a guess what the plane in the foreground is? I'm guessing a UAV. Looks to have forward swept wings and canards. The plane in the background is obviously a VF-0. This pic is from Macross Zero episode # 3 and was scanned from the November 2003 issue of Hobby Japan.

Yohsho Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 guess UAV, there's a bunch of smaller versions that look like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMax Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 The Kanji seems to suggest UAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 UAV. Early version of the Ghosts the SDF-1 was supposed to have, but we never see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewilen Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 (edited) i can't read kanji but the katakana at the beginning of the second line says "GO-SU-TO", i.e., Ghost. Also, compare the pics at Nanashi's. Click here. The QF-3000 is a lifting body, while the picture seems to show wings. But otherwise the profiles resemble one another.

Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 ik am thinking prototype ghost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Ghost prototype . It's actually confirmed in the caption in japanese: Mysterious craft(s) seen on the deck of the Asukua. Seems like a prototype of the UN Forces unmanned fighter Ghost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 i agree with the others, i say it's a ghost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Focker Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 It literally says: "Enigmatic craft seen on the deck of ASCA. Prototype of the Unified Forces' Unmanned Fighter Ghost." There was sufficient Kanji and Katakana for me to figure this one out...I'm Chinese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Valkyrie Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Hmm..... it looks like Firefox MIG-31 from the side especially the cookpit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis! Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Definetively a Ghost prototype At last we'll see some action from these babies , though I suspect they'll get blown out pretty quickly if they ever encounter DD or Nora in the air. I'm not a all suprised by modern look of the aircraft itself since current UAVs look pretty similar and this is supposed to be set int 2008 and there's this thing called overtechnology which more or less changed the technological standards of that era , I'm only suprised they decided to use foward-swept wings in an UAV , but what the heck it looks nice anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkReaper Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Who knows, it could be the backside of the Ghost while Taxing or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
