Aurora-7 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I'd like to build one of my Hasegawa YF-19s as a Macross 7 VF-19 (the ones without canards and a modified wing). I have a few views of them at different angles but I'd like to get a top view just to get the wing dimensions right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe get a bandai 1/100 vf-19, it should help you. I could scan my bandai 1/100 directions but I have currently problems both with my connection and pc, sorry, PM me next week if you are still interested.

As for making a garage kit myself, I don't think I have the talent for that. I think the single biggest mod is the wings. There is some sort of 'cuff' that surounds the afterburners of the VF-19s F through S models but I didn't like the look of that and would probably leave it off my version anyway. Thanks for the offer for the instructions scan. Years ago I had the 1/100 kit but I was disapointed in the dimensions of it in fighter mode. But I think the paint guide's plan view would be perfect. So far this is the closest I have to figure out the wing dimensions: Edited November 23, 2005 by Aurora-7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the back story is that the modified wings and removal of the canards was because the VF-19s for Macross 7 were seen as to be mostly used in space so no need for canards and big wings. Milia supposedly was in favor of the original design over this version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on doing this in the future also, but it's way at the back of the to do list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
