Chronocidal Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 those SMS 030 are ok, the real problem is on the superparts... they put the skull white on white wings ... that´s what i´m worried about :S, the SMS 030 means that they are really capable to do it... i hope they put the skulls black or gray... Or.. you know.. PUT THEM ON THE FREAKING TAILS. Really.. is it too much to ask Bandai to actually watch the anime it's celebrating the 30th anniversary of?

Chronocidal Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I really wish I could get interested in the releases of this, because it's a pretty fun design... but I just can't find a way to get past how hideous the paint schemes are.

mechaninac Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 You should consider yourself fortunate that this 29 does not interest you. See, I'm glad I don't care for it at all... kept me from the headache of trying to preorder at a decent price and saved me money I can use for something else I really want; it's a win-win!

Vifam7 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Would be interesting to know what they say in the comparison pic with the old green tinted scheme. In short - Kawamori felt that the canopy should be a more realistic color so he opted for purple to contrast the yellow highlights and called for the change at the last minute.

MichaelS Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 To me this is by far the best looking version of the YF-29. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggooftoybox Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 The YF-29 is just amazing as a fighter plane and this updated one is awesome too. Too bad it's all sold out at HLJ where i normally buy from. Not sure about other retailers. How's that Nippon Yasan? is it an actual store or is it some middleman? I did a quick search for YF-29 and their prices seem to be all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loop Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) I also would have preferred the green canopy. They really only needed to fix the color of the fold quartz parts, but went a bit further than needed. That said, I am still really happy with it.
