Macross VF-1J Stealth Type Black Valkyrie

[Decon]

Where are the Stealth Type VF-1J seen in the anime?

[mister_e]

They're not. The Stealth valkyrie is completely non-canon, meaning it never appeared in the TV series or movie. It's a custom design, created entirely by Yamato as an excuse to sell another repaint variant of the VF-1

See also: Low Vis 1 and Low Vis II which are both non-canon paint schemes as well.

But that doesn't mean you can't drool about it

?

[Sumdumgai]

You can't see them in the anime because they're stealth!

They're in every-single scene in space, it's just like sum said, you can't see'em because of the paint job. You turn on an episode of Macross, and I'll point out a stealth 1J.

Someone pointed it out ages ago but in one scene there is a vf-1 in shadow. And it looks like the stealth version of the vf-1.

Could be a dark blue valk though.

Maybe if you squint really hard you can see gamlin's father in the cockpit getting ready to take off.

From which episode is this?

[Dante74]

Was the term 'stealth' or 'technology used on aircraft to make them less visible to radar' even known to the world in 1982?

[1/1 LowViz Lurker]

Episode 5 ryoma. Looks pretty cool. SW I version of Diamond force? /joking

yeah I remember seeing those and thinking it was some kind of animation error... now I wonder if it was done on purpuse or not?

It's propably just an animation error that Yamato took advantage of when designing the stealth paint scheme.

How so? They look nothing alike

Well they probably used it as an inspiration source. That is if they ever saw that episode and noticed the animation error.

meh.

[Valkyrie addict]

maybe they saw it, decided to release the credit card black valkyrie, saw it attracted a lot of attention and decided to go with the stealth later on
