General Chaos Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Thanks guys, I will take that under advisement. While I am asking about manuals how does the Armoured manual work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickyg Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) My request is for anyone who might have figured out Which Tamiya blue or combination of blue is the most suitable for Michael's VF-25G? Check out my buildup in the "building/customizing macross models and toys" section. Shortcut though, it's a combo of bright blue mixed with violet, according to the instructions (check out post number 4). And it matches the coloured plastic, almost exactly.

azrael Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 While I am asking about manuals how does the Armoured manual work? The Armored kits are full kits, not expansion kits. The manual covers the entire step of building the base VF-25 model with the Armored packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_foul_fowl Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 So it's a two-seater... interesting. MF's homage to the VF-1D, colors make sense too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikuro Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 cool, got notice on my 25G, now the waiting game. Hopefully my RVF and my G will show up at the sametime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 So it's a two-seater... interesting. MF's homage to the VF-1D, colors make sense too. All VF-25 are capable of having a second seat fitted. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azrael Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 All VF-25 are capable of having a second seat fitted. But the models are molded with the second seat folded away. This description of the "YF-25" model sounds like it will come with the second seat in the upright position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiroikaze Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Did they ever announce VF-25G and RVF-25 bundled with super packs? cool, got notice on my 25G, now the waiting game. Hopefully my RVF and my G will show up at the sametime. Ugh, good job USD to JPY ratio, it's like paying full price with free shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electric indigo Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 At least they did throw in a handful of new parts instead of just a new paintjob. I like the new head design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsain Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) I think the new head is pretty cool. Kind of between the RVF & the G. As for the decals, now all we need are better scans of Kathy!

Cent Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 ............ Man. I'm sorry, but those decals look like ass. Here's the problem. When you wanna do itashas, you have to make it look classy with the characters. You have one large decal piece of a portrait of the featured character, and a consistent simple paint scheme that matches it. The way its done here involves 5-7 different portraits of the same character, sloppily placed over the plane's existing paint scheme, regardless of whether or not the character's colors matches it. =/. They're everywhere all over the plane, and you're not even sure which decal to look at first. Honestly, they just need to release some larger single decals optimized for fighter mode, and whoever's applying it should probably repaint the entire plane to match the decal's color scheme. Its a lot of work, sure... But it'd look far better than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yay! It was rather a pain to get copies of the recent Armored VF-25F/VF-25S sheets. I paid $20 per sheet and had to buy them from an ebay seller in Malaysia... Being able to order these things as proper kits from a normal online shop like HLJ will be a relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron5864 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 So I displayed Osma's VF-25S in Battroid mode holding the knife at my office for the first time. Since most folks there are way older than I am, the closest thing they can guess as to what it is was a Transformer. I said "Ahi ya! It is not a Transformer, it is a VF-25S from the Macross Frontier anime." Confused most walked away. The younger guys, upon seeing it, asked "Hey, that's a veritech fighter from Robotech?"
