s001 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 and the entire canopy/nosecone module along with it. the underline of the 1/60v.II has a very gentle, subtle curvature,which, IMO, is perfection itself, and far preferable the 1/48's radically exaggerated one... I think that the 1/48 nails the lineart better when it comes to the nose section. But sure the 1/60 looks more atractive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddsun1 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I feel the 1/60 v2 is the best looking toy of the VF-1 all-around, to date. It just looks the most "right" so far. If only it were as simple as up-sizing the design to create larger scaled versions... This may belong in another thread, but I have a question/request: anybody got pics of their 1/48 Yammies next to other warbirds/jets of the same scale for comparison? I know the VF-1 would be roughly the same size as an AV-8B Harrier or F-16 Falcon (kinda in-between), but just for some visual reference, perhaps?

ruskiiVFaussie Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) Got enough 1/48's, almost completed v.2s for what i want, if they are going to improve on a design make it 1/32 or larger, die 1/48's, just die.

ff95gj Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Some personal thoughts: Size does matter to me. Looks nice a Hi-Metal may, it just can't beat the proper size of a 1/60. Adequate the size of a 1/60 may be, the size of a 1/48 VF-1 with SSP still impresses me. No matter how I hate the DX VF-25, I am still pleased by its size. And the longer canopy of the 1/48 (and also the Hi-Metal) makes its fighter mode look better than the 1/60 as a plane. 1/60 compromises, thus it gets a better battroid mode. I regard the size for the 1/60 VF-0/19/21/22/25 is good for a toy. I like to pose my 1/48 VF-1S and 1/60 VF-0S together, and they don't look out of place at all. And I too agree, the 1/48 line is done. Although if they release a new 1/48 v2 line, I'll probably collect everyone of them. But it would be bad idea and bad business for Yamato. They should get the other models done. The VF-17, VF-19 and VF-4. In a few years, the VF-25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
