The 2nd coming of the YF-19, Part 2

The November hobby magazines are out a few days early. Just picked them up.

As it's shown in the magazines, I can now reveal one of the hidden features of the YF-19 that I've previously alluded to.............

Upward hinging shoulders, to make the battroid more accurate to Kawamori's line art!

Also note, the CAD pic of the upcoming Fold Booster & FAST Packs for the YF-19 and the Ghost Booster for the VF-0 (that we've already seen). Not final colors!

I'll get a better scan up at the weekend.

Beacuse Yamato likes teasing you and revealing the features slowly, one by one, to build up anticipation. :p

So we can spect to see more features in the YF-19?

Really like those shoulders. This thing keeps looking better and better.

Graham,

I have no idea whether or not you can answer this but just what does that thing on the inside side of the legs do?

It's just under the screwhole near the top and in some pics it's pushed in and in others it isn't, there's no consistency and I can't even begin to work out what it's for.

Cheers

Mark

That's a sneaky way to get the shoulders into position. Thought they could do that at the swivel point for the shoulders, but that would have made it too hard. This is a good alternative.

Maybe one of the cool features is the inclusion of the Heavy weapons module.

Can the arms of the YF-19 flex beyond 90 degrees?

Is it possible to get a better scan of the margin area - specifically around the fold booster? What I can read in Japanese is "YF-19 and VF-0 option parts." It's not clear if they will be released seperately or together. What I can read is "planned" and they have two seperate write-ups about them.

It doesn't look like there are any holes in the wings. Though it does look like something can be opened on the legs - or else those are flaws in the mock-up that was constructed for the photoshoot.

November magazines? It's still September where I live. Just how big is the time difference between Asia and the United States ... I though it was 1 day, not 2 months? hahaha. Anyways, thanks for the new pics. I don't know how you can keep all these Yamato secrets without exploding. It must feel good to relieve some built up pressure every once in awhile. Maybe one of these days you're gonna snap and reveal all!
