Guest davidwhangchoi Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 "It is a simple mechanism than you think. It may be interesting even put on (or magazine or WEB) somewhere" Quoting Mr. K responding on twitter to someone asking about the design of the highspeed yf-19 wings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullmilitia Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Looks like even the factory's send the samples in Yamato sized boxes lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) So the mechanism is more simple then we think? Hmm. This thing is looking mighty done. We may be seeing a December 31st/January 2014 release. Edited September 5, 2013 by Mommar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie addict Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Nice!! loving this bird Although I can already see in 5 years, v3 YF-19 with proper folding and position of wings for high speed mode. I wouldn't mind receiving my valks in a small cardboard box with no design and all the loose parts in a ziplock as long as it arrives safe and cuts on shipping.

Mommar Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 This is not proper folding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froy Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) This is not proper folding? There is a huge diference According to the line art, a huge part of the wing should be inside the leg thanks to the anime magic.

daBlah! Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 There would be a serious amount of folding/splitting elements in the inner leg or the wing it seems, and for the size of it maybe that would be better kept for a larger scale? The compromise from Arcardia still looks ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Nice!! loving this bird Although I can already see in 5 years, v3 YF-19 with proper folding and position of wings for high speed mode. I don't think they're going to develop solids that can selectively pass through other solids in the next 5 years... just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie addict Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) LOL!! my post was a joke but you never know what can happened in the future. I myself never would have imagined we'd have such amazing toys from Yamato/Arcadia. After the VF-4G everything is possible.

Xigfrid Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 There is a huge diference Considering the line art, certainly. But if you consider the Master file, Arcadia's design is accurate. I prefer to refer to the Master File which is in general more mechanically correct, than the line art that always contains a little "magic" (I always ask myself how the heck did the wing fold into such small tabs in the battroid mode for exemple) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 i doubt Im going to do it much anyway. I never liked the HS mode. The best thing about the 19 is the cool forward sweep wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Anybody got a good pic of the grey markings on the intakes, so I can inform Arcadia? Checked Macross Mecha Manual, but they got it wrong Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzgundam010 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Man, I really want this but don't know how I am going to afford it since I have a feeling this will be very expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked Macross Mecha Manual, but they got it wrong Graham You can inform them if you want but I don't think you need to. They already know about those markings: They are even panel lined. The painted resin prototype we've seen so far is lacking all the little markings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I think my only nitpick about the paint is that the band of black on the upper neck looks a little wide (dipping below the canards) but that might be an effect of the quick prototype paint job too. It's probably not something I'd even bother to fix, but it looks funny to me with the canards being stuck in the middle of the black instead of at the bottom edge.

I didn't notice that before, but now it's all I can see! Gotta agree it looks much too thick. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I do apologize for that. I do think it's amusing that they're actually going much more with the Hasegawa style for that marking so far.. the line art shows it tapering, more like the Yamato one. I think the straight one flows with the design better, but it might not be entirely accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Like this? That's as good as it gets for the intake markings. Or just use the Yamato 1/60 for reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupin The Third Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Wow this is looking soooooo nice. I'm trying to get out of collecting so much but this makes me want to stick around. Maybe I'll sell off my Bird of Prey and Weathered YF-19 to make room for this new beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skullmilitia Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I'm betting Pre-orders open in December after they get out the other two releases. But yeah Feb/March for sure if not sooner. They look to be about two months from opening orders. That looks like the official pics will be hitting soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
