Graham Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Guys, the new December 2003 issue of Dengeki Hobby magazine has some good pics of the upcoming 1/48 VF-1J Hikaru Super Valk, including a pic with the canopy open. It looks like the cockpit interior has received at least a partial resculpt. The seat headrest seems to have been resculpted and Hikaru now has a joystick between his legs (no lewd coments please)! However, the rest of the cockpit interior seems to be identical to the DYRL Valks. I'm a bit disappointed that they did not add the TV version HUD The TV Hikaru pilot looks like nicely sculpted. His right hand is on the central joystick and his left fist hand positioned horizontally as if holding the throttle on the left side of the cockpit. I can't tell from the photos if he is made of ABS plastic or the rubber-like material like the Low Vis pilot. I'll try to scan the pics tonight , but don't count on it, as tearing myself away from the new Macross PS2 game will be very difficult Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muswp1 Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 (edited) As long as the pilot's hand has a actual stick to grasp (unlike the MPC pilot), then this one should be joke free.

Bub Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Gone for a couple of days. Nice to here some fresh news. Where are the pix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted October 28, 2003 Author Share Posted October 28, 2003 Heh, heh, ended up playing the Macross PS2 game until midnight last night, was too tired to scan pic, went to bed and watched some of the Animego Macross DVDs, fell asleep. Will try to scan it tonight (Tuesday), but I have a business dinner so might get home late and drunk. Tomorrow night (Wednesday) is my birthday and my wife is taking me out for dinner, so won't be able to scan it then. Thursday night, I have my Arnis class and usually don't get home until mdnight, so will be too tired then. Worst case, I will scan the pic Friday night.

Toonz Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 how long does it take you to scan? 3 hours? you enjoy making us wait...eh? <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted October 28, 2003 Author Share Posted October 28, 2003 how long does it take you to scan? 3 hours?you enjoy making us wait...eh? <_< Nah, probably takes about 30 minutes from start-up to shut-down. My home PC is old, worn and tired. But still, that's 30 minutes I could be playing the PS2 game, hah! Plus it takes time to wake up the hamster that runs the treadmill which powers my PC. He's old and fat and doesn't run very fast these days. You think I'm joking, don't you? Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcpaz Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Damn Sony and its playstation!!! I thought that Graham in holidays, with familiar compromises or outer space, since we didn't hear anything new about yamato and its upcoming toys (1/72 line, yf-19 FP, 1/60 line, 1/48....), or anything! And the reason was... that game! Well, maese Graham, I'm going to forget your birthday (too much busy @ work), so... happy birthday!! I hope your wife and relatives give you a big bunch of Yamatos!!! regards, Manu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montarvillois Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 (edited) We see here again that Yamato did not improve the quality of their stickers... Takatoy, please be ready for the release, I'm buying for sure... I like the new cockpit, is there any mention about the material used for the pilot, I knda like the rubber they used for the low viz pilot.
