Nani?! Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 lets not bug Graham too much about the pictures or further details regarding the YF-19.God knows he was to maintain the privilege of holding on to exclusive information =P just kidding but i know he'll give us additional information as soon as he can with Yamato's permission. so let's not expect too much out of him besides officially permitted release of information. besides, the Chara Hobby event's just a couple of days away. we can wait, right? we've waited years for it anyway, what's a couple days more? 426109[/snapback] I agree. I've since learned that Graham is non-existent, like santa claus, the tooth-fairy, and mr boogey-man. There's no point anymore... might as well post a comment a couple times hoping a yamato snoop will read it~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in the June of 2002 issue. And there's GERWALK pics. 426051[/snapback] Wow, thanks David. Look at those pics... the gerwalk is amazing. Man I wish I was talented enough to make models. Those are unbelievably cool. Yamato, please make me proud on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stram8777 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I say lets have a Macrossworld Raffle for one of the three, proceeds go to benefit the college fund of that little tyke.

And no, I have no evidence that he has 3 pre-production YF-19s stashed in his flat, so don't be spying in every funky pink building in Hong Kong hoping to get a sneak preview.

Save Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 (edited) Just got back from C3XHobby and they had the YF-19 on display in all three modes. It was unpainted but even with out the paint all I can say is it was f_ _ king beautiful. The Yamato booth was rather small and was next to CM's booth, CM's had a huge line in the way of Yamato's display case blocking any possible way of taking a good picture. I had asked if I could take a picture but they asked me not to. Yes I did sneak one but if wolfx gets better ones then lets wait for his. Oh CM's didn't have any of the new Macross Part 4 sets for sale or dislpay so no pictures there either. I did how ever strike up a converstion with one of the guys at the Yamato booth. Super cool guy we talked about for about 30 min, and he told me alot. They have all kinds of cool stuff and in the piple line coming in these next two years. A mountable Ghost for the macross zero 1/60 scale and I can only assume it will come with fast packs, and the 1/60 YF-19 will get a mountable fold unit and I also assume will come with fast packs. Ive got to run I'll drop more info when I get back. I'll be at wonderfestival on Sunday but he told me they will only have the YF-19 there in fighter mode. Right now there are only four of the unpainted YF-19 produced other than the prototype so the third one will only be shown in one mode while the other three will still be at C3XHobby the rest of the weekend.

And that answers David's question as to whether or not the nose sensor thingy will be a seperate clear plastic piece or painted on. addition: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! We can see part of a battroid leg in the gerwalk picture! NOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooo, there's no pictures yet!

kensei Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 No cause he probably got the kick before he could take the Battroid mode pic. Wasn't thinkin though. Cause if he only had time for two snaps, then he should have taken GERWALK and Battroid, cause everyone's already seen Fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 (edited) I'm much more interested in the news than the pics at this point. 1. Fold booster! But does it light up...? And I see no way to mount it on the prototype. I don't think there's any clear drawing/animation of the mounts, but from the scene when Isamu ejects it you can get a pretty good idea of where it connects. 4 struts, just inside the shoulders/arms. Basically at the "corners" of the shield. Possibly it connects to the shield itself with clips? 2. VF-0 Ghost. Hmmn--add on, or a new release? Anyone see a way to attach a Ghost to the current VF-0 mold? Will it just use the dorsal conformal tank mounts somehow? Someone needs to ask about the VF-0D.

The VF-0 even has the stripes painted under them. They will probably just provide extra tanks that the Ghost can attach to. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 What I thought, but wasn't sure. (Not owning a VF-0 and all---still waiting for either a D model, or a different scheme---I kinda like ANIME low-vis, but not Kawamori's ret-con of it--which isn't low-vis at all IMHO---more like a Heater-Ferris scheme--which tend to be the highest-vis schemes of all, based on visual detection range) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensei Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 (edited) Even I didn't know that and I've got one! Gee....thanks Graham for suggesting that they needed a redesign the VF-0 to attach a Ghost..... Grr! Yamato really thought ahead on this one.

Fort Max Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Perhaps they either have magnets inside the fusealge so you can't see them on this prototype or the panel where the booster mounts is removeable and replaces with one solid piece that has the booster permantely attached to it thus eliminating the problem of the booster falling off during *ahem* test flights. Either way the YF-19 is looking gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensei Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Also the back wings of the Ghost has a crevice that allows the tailfins of the VF-0 to slip into it's wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yf19vsyf21 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 So close yet so far. Please someone go take a pic especially the back of the battroid.
