Sumdumgai Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Right, I got interested in finding out what the scale would be for different valks as toys at the 1/48 scale that some people are for, and others against. I've spent a bit of time going over the data at Macross Compendium, took the data provided and scaled them down to 1/48. You may use this for discussion (let's keep it clean and calm) and personal interest. My Formula was: valk size (length or wingspan or height)/.48 = x It is .48 to convert the meters into centimeters. I'm listing the VF-0, VF-1, VF-4, VF-11, YF-19 and YF/VF-21/22 with wingspans spread to their maximum Actual Size Fighter Mode: length wingspan height VF-0 18.69m no data no data VF-1 14,23 14,78 3,84 VF-4 14,92 14,28 3,72 VF-11 15,51 11,2 3,49 YF-19 18,62 14,87 3,94 YF/VF-21/22 19,62 15,36 4,04 Battroid Mode: Height VF-0 no data VF-1 12,68 VF-4 no data VF-11 12,92 YF-19 no data (VF-19F/S/Custom is 15.48 without the laser) YF/VF-21-22 no data Toy size (in cm) Fighter mode: length wingspan height VF-0 38.94 no data no data VF-1 29.65 30.79 8 VF-1 31 31 8 (hastily taken measurements of my 1/48 Max) VF-4 31.08 29.75 7.75 VF-11 32.31 23.33 7.27 YF-19 38.79 30.98 8.21 YF/VF-21/22 40.88 32 8.42 Battroid mode: Height VF-0 no data VF-1 26.42 VF-1 26 (hastily taken measurement of my 1/48 Max) VF-4 no data VF-11 26.92 YF-19 no data (VF-19F/S/custom would be 32.25) YF/VF-21/22 no data I did an excel sheet with these, plus some other valks (unfortunately most of them had no data). If you want, I could try to post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Check these threads. I converted the sizes for certain valks in them. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...T&f=5&t=820&hl= http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...=75entry39095 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumdumgai Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 Thanks for the link Exo! Exo's calculations on 1/60 scale YF-19 - 12.21 in or 31.01 cm YF-21 - 12.87 in or 32.69 cm VF-11 - 10.18 in or 25.86 cm My calculations on 1/48 scale YF-19 - 15.27 in or 38.79 cm YF-21 - 16.09 in or 40.88 cm VF-11 - 12.72 in or 32.31 cm Okay, the VF-11 would be practically the same size as the 1/48 VF-1, I want my VF-11 in 1/48 and not 1/60. Heheh, I could display them next to each other and have them be in scale! Okay, I know people scream in horror at the monstrous size that the YF-19 and 21 would be in 1/48, but the lenght difference would be something like 3-4 inches, but I don't see that as being thaaat much of a problem. Now, I'm not saying "skip 1/60s and go straight to 1/48s"! What I am saying is that they would not be so big that we could drive them around (maybe use them as short skateboards). They could be made in a limited way like the 1/60 Monster. If there are 1/60 versions released, then those who don't want the 1/48 will be sated of their hunger, and if there is a 1/48 version released afterwards, then us others will be sated of ours. Oh yeah, since I remember in the last MW Newsletter that Graham had mentioned possible candidates for future Valk release where the VF-4 and the VF-5000, here's the length of the VF-5000: actual size VF-5000 - 14.03 m actual VF-5000 - 29.23 cm 1/48 toy (smaller than the VF-1) *crosses fingers* Here's hoping for a 1/48 VF-4!
