eyesonme78 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hi All; As i gotten inspired by the VF-1J kai works by Jefuemon http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=37219 I wanted to try out the 1/60 ver 2.0 customization. So as my VF-1J is still on its way from AmiAmi, i would like to ask for some kind help from the members here for some reference pics if possible. As the VF-1J kai is quite similar to the VF-1J TV series in terms of mech design, i believe a redo of the paint scheme should be quite sufficient to achieve the results i want. Plus i intend to do a bit of post shading on the valkyrie and plus some minor panel lining and weathering. Will update with pictures as soon as i get my valkyrie from AmiAmi. Stay tuned =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGemini Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 The one I used for the 1/60 kit is this one: Macross The First vol. 3 has this image but there was also a bigger one in a volume of Macross Ace. In The First vol. 3 there's also a shot of the Wave kit. The manga is also the best reference to see how it looks from other sides. Hope this helps!

Jefuemon Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 As the VF-1J kai is quite similar to the VF-1J TV series in terms of mech design, i believe a redo of the paint scheme should be quite sufficient to achieve the results i want. Glad I could be an inspiration! The head is a little different on the Kai. The visor piece on the top is not straight across, it's bent a little to make it look like it's scowling. Also, the chin piece is a little more pointed. I didn't bother with either of those mods, though, since you can't see the face on the kit. On this page, you can find a pic of what I'm talking about.

eyesonme78 Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 Thanks guys, Jefuemon, for the visor, there is an inconsistency between the manga and the lineart as shown by GGemini, hmm i think that the manga's design is more futuristic and more gd looking of course, but then to change the visor might require some modifications or probably i will use VF-1S head instead haha for the design on the plane, do u think it is a good idea to stick to manga or is it better to try to follow as close as possible?
