Swoosh Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Both of those are models. Not because they are models, what I mean is that the missle pod of Invanov is black but Nora's is white in the animie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy's Blues Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 (edited) You are correct. Here's some screen shots to prove it. Forgive my earlier drunkin' posting. Perhaps Graham can send Yamato an email pointing this out. Or Yamato was just using Ivanof's for this display. edit for truth #2 screenshot (one with Ivanof)is from EP2.

Raygne Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Actually, in the third picture in the second row it appears her pods are gray. Her booster and the missile in between are pure white but the pods are darker. The light is coming from below which is why the tops of the pods and booster are dark so it can't be a lighting issue.

The attachement point on the missle is showing Nora's color.... wish they will correct them.... I think white/light grey looks a lot better with Nora's scheme...

David Hingtgen Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Regardless, from the first pic of the 3 new ones, it looks like ALL of her accessories are the wrong color. Grey stuff should be made white, and black stuff should be made grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I'm pretty sure those the convention pics are just setup to show what kind of accessories that will be included with her set. They may end up changing colors for the production. Who knows... they might've grabbed an Ivanov and repainted it keeping the same accessories. Take the VF-0A Shin version pictures for example it looked like they used a VF-0A CF and just repainted it partially to make it look like a Shin, but in the end during the production release it was actually different.

warpaint22 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 According to the Hasegawa models Nora's missile are light gull grey as are the anti-ship missiles. Ivanov's 51 should be RLM66 Black grey same for the missile pods. This is all assuming that hasegawa colours are correct. The Ivanove model kit comes with two drop tanks that are painted in the light gull grey the same as Nora's, however the yamato's seem to not have them included and have an extra two missile pods.

Lonewolf Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Well, my wife wants to kill me for wanting to buy the YF-21, but on the plus side, she's going to buy me the SV-51 for Chrismas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 i like it. I'm sure they'll correct the missle colours, though like everything in Macross theres something about colour corrected missles for every type of plane the grates on me a little....

Guppy Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 The Nora scheme looks great. if both these came out at the same time I'd have to flip a coin to choose. I'm hoping it won't be out for a while so I can have to time to stash a few bucks here and there until it's released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 This is the Hasegawa illustration of the kit with the boosters: http://www.1999.co.jp/dbimages/user/hobby/...g/10043422a.jpg Looks like white booster and missile, grey pods. However, the instructions show light grey boosters for both Ivanov and Nora: http://www.1999.co.jp/dbimages/user/hobby/.../10043422t4.jpg So it all depends on how canon you consider Hasegawa. Though with the recent revelation that Shigeo Koike actually designed the schemes, Hase might actually be more canon than the animation since I believe they have his input.

warpaint22 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Hope this helps it the painting instructions for the Hasegawa Ivanov SV-51. I don't have the booster kit handy but David posted a link to those painting instructions. I also included the paint table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nani?! Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 (edited) I like the gold when it's in the right angle where light hits it and it's bright but 95% of the time it's not... and when it's not, it looks almost copper-ish. I really would have to see one in my hands to see it well but yeah... I dunno, IMO I'd tweak it so it'd look right in any angle and under normal lighting. However for the canopy, gold appearing in certain angles would look reaaal nice... it'd be awesome if they could do a f-16-ish golden canopy.... clear straight on, but gold when viewed from an angle. But with yamato's limited painting tech, they probably wouldnt be able to pull it off correctly, which in the case of such doubt, I'd be fine with a plain clear canopy.

David Hingtgen Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Generally, glosses increase the effect that lighting/angle has on a color, and flats decrease it. Very flat paint looks the same from any angle. Of course, metallics are affected more than any other type, so the normal gloss/dull rules may have different effects on them.

It looks muddy in many angles... MUDDY. yeah... that's the word... Come to think of it... THAT's what it looks like! it looks like a magenta sv-51 took a nose dive into a mud puddle and then ignited it's afterburners, went mach speed and then the mud dripped backward from the speed and dried.

Fatalist Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Picked up a 51 over the weekend, and while I love the design, I do have super floppy wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I had no idea that thing was so big. It looks great and some of those super glue fixes for the wings are seriously ingenious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Ok, got my 51. Love it!!! I do have all the same problems that everyone else is reporting though....2 of the same hinges, floppy wings..excetra. Still a nice toy though, I'll do the fixes in a few days when I have the time. Now, with that said here are MY gripes...wouldn't be MW without them . The leg swing panel(the part with the exaust ducts on it theat also has the peg that locks it in place in Battroid mode...well the locking pin is very loose and even poped out because the panel back separates too easily. I think that the gunpod magazines are really hard to get into place, I'm really afraid I'll over stress the legs while trying to get the gun pod in place, but addmitidly I don't know what else they could have done there. My MAIN design flaw/ gripe about the sculpt is the angle of the lower horizontal stabs. I don't think they lower enough. I pointed this out months ago when we first saw the prototype. I just think that how they don't have enough downweard angle on them, almost like they are permanantly set in the landing configuration. This is really noticable to me when the inboard missle/fuel pod is attached and the pod practically rests on the stab. Most are just the normal QC things and really on 1 design issue for me. Overall though a great toy. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfx Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Just got my 51. Generally I like it and yadda yadda.....but since more ppl are insterested with the QC issues, here's on mine: 1.) Left wing can't fold....thus same hinge. Doesn't bother me much though so I don't even wanna fix it. 2.) Stress marks on the back hinge holding the wings. These stress marks look kinda scary as this part will be moved alot to lock the shoulders into place. 3.) One of the landing bay doors on the right leg is loose as hell and doesn't stay closed. I'll fix it with some blue tack or something. 4.) My right hand's complicated shoulder joint doesn't seem to lock. When moving the shoulder, the armpit part moves as well, if you guys know which joint i'm talking about. And everything else...generally its tight and the joints for the hands and legs are tighter than my YF-19 and VF-0 so I'm generally happy with them. I don't have a problem with the missile hard points either. They are generally tighter than the Reactive missiles of the VF-1 which fall off with a slight nudge. Did some barrel rolls and swooshing...missiles stayed in place, though wings tend to fold under weight of a full payload. Dobber: Don't get your problem with the gunpod and magazines. Didn't find any on mine. Did you remember to push the knees in (it was pulled out during transformation to battroid mode) when transforming back to fighter mode?
