Jin_Kune_Do Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 So let me get this right....Yamato messed up the coloring of the CF pilots huh? From what i remember the CF pilots colors is green right? Hmm...actually if someone like Godzilla could make their own Kakizaki by simply using parts from a VF-1J Hikaru. Just remove the red stripe on the chest and color the tail fins in brown and ur done! - Jin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightmareB4macross Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 No one is ever happy with what they have or get. They are always too anxious to get what the haven't or will not get. C'mon guys, cheer up!!! All of us have been waiting for this for a very long time. Let's all rejoice!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF-18S Hornet Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 (edited) Well I will eventually change the pilots colors to green when I do my DYRL custom too bad they don't sell the pilot figures from the DYRL toy lie separetely I liked the improved pilot figure from my VF-1S Hikaru. I wonder if anyone made a mold of the figure. Oh yeah the CF pilots wore red, yellow and green. if anyone remembers in episode 2 in macross before getting blasted a CF pilot had a red/white helmet+pilotsuit Edited September 15, 2005 by VF-18S Hornet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugimon Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I'm not thrilled about the color of the pilot.. but you know... I think that's a hurdle I can jump... yeah.. yeah... I think I can. I'll be picking this guy up for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promethuem5 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Hey! We've got a FastReply option now! Happy happy joy joy... Anyways, ON topic... I am soo happy to see this come out. If it's avaliable there Neova, any idea how long it'll take for it to come stateside, and then be ready for realese from someone like BBTS? I just heard that my decals shipped, so I am really excited to get this bad boy, slap my name on the cockpit, and then try out weathering a valk...

vanpang Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 The box art maybe not be to everyone's liking but I must have the CF. It would be just be different without any CF but having all the other "ace" valkyrie. Almost like a jigsaw puzzle without a piece. I do not even care whether it is a limited edition or otherwise.

Eazy D Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Anyone got anymore pics of the new cannon fodder? I'm really keen to see how the shade of brown they've used holds up in battroid and gerwalk mode. (tnx 4 the pics hayao kakizaki - was the first one you posted the non-custom CF?)Someone should do a review on the thing with regards to fit and finish. I wonder if anyone knows for sure if this is a limited release or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayao Kakizaki Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 little review of NEW CF VF-1A: 1. the back antenna use the same color with the body, not like MAX AND MIRIA VF-1J in white color, I don't know why using white with these two 1J? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayao Kakizaki Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 2. the arms simply using the dyrl version,without the black stripe match the original TV 1A design, but I still like the sculpt of the 1J( the "U" CROSS SECTION of the elbow) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayao Kakizaki Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 3. the heat sheild haven't marK the panel line on it , but that's ok, I prefer add it by myself , because the last 3 VF-1J was mark not in the centre~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayao Kakizaki Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) 6. the calf also haven't print the "U.N.SPACY" on it this time, so, just the hikaru 1J have it, and again, have brown color parts in a wrong place. 7.the feet in dark chocolate brown, I think this is just too dark...

promethuem5 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Eww...why is the heatshield color so off from the rest of the figure? That looks weird... shame about the UN SPACY markins too, guess that's one more thing to have to decal. And I don't mind teh feet that color... I figure they should all have dark color feet engines anyways... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vlenhoff Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Man I had to get a couple of new FP's to be able to dress my 4 CF's Man this hooby costs a lot of money if you want to have everything right down to last detail. So Far, each and everyone of my 1/48 have their respective FP. I'm fixing to make a low-vis FP. I have the impression that the blue does not go well with grey. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'll try it anyway. V!C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onimusha-shin Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 i agree. it just doesn't look right to me. call me prejudiced but CF's don't quite deserve the Strike Cannons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 (edited) I think CF look better without FP. More as ground fighters who guard an area on land as a giant soldier, then when the time comes they transform into a fighter jet to dogfight enemy fighters or to attack from the air, or to haul ass to a new location quickly. (having no need for fast packs unless they were in space) Edited September 18, 2005 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlenhoff Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Well FPs are for outer space. I still think they look great with FP, and strike. I think an officer scorted by 3 FP CFs in outer space would be a nice sight. V!C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sephiroth Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 (edited) My VF-1A should arrive in about a week; man, I can't wait. I bought an extra set of FAST packs (from Hikaru VF-1J) a while back and have been saving them until Yamato finally got around to producing the cannon fodder VF-1A (my personal fave). If you have the TV FAST packs and the VF-1A, can you please post a couple pics for me? Edited September 18, 2005 by Sephiroth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soze Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 (edited) After being used to Jung's and Kurt's CF customs....
