VF-15 Banshee Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I made this little thread so that anyone has picked this book up can post thoughts, impressions and translations. So if I'm interpreting this correctly, the Macross had Carrier Air Wing 9 (CVW-9) assigned to it from the beginning. Carrier Air Wing 1 (CVW-1), which included Skull Squadron was assigned to the Prometheus. CVW-9 included SVF-48, 38, 6, 22, 13, 44 and 32. CVW-1 included SVF-1, 2, 20, 63, 28, 68 and 37. SVF-48 are the Blue Hawks and have Valkyries painted in blue and white. I also like SVF-44's insignia, a pair of crossed gunpods over the UN Spacy kite.

Seto Kaiba Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Still waiting on mine... it's in customs. Thus far, I'm most interested in the VF-1L and the alternate FAST pack configurations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gubaba Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Still waiting on mine... it's in customs. Thus far, I'm most interested in the VF-1L and the alternate FAST pack configurations. The FAST Pack configurations are... weird, to say the least. Who knew you could attach boosters to the wings' hard points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF-15 Banshee Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Did you post multiple pics...I only see one? I meant to post more but I got caught up in stuff. As Sketchley pointed there is already a thread for this so I think I'll post them over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hulagu Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014  Macross the First weird....or not that weird? Eh, pretty tame. Sort of reminds me of the VF-25 super pack configuration. Two additional FAST packs in additional to the normal dorsal packs mounted on the inner wing hardpoint, one variant swaps out the extra missile modules for additional fuel tanks.

Gubaba Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Macross the First weird....or not that weird? Depends... slapping Destroid parts on the Valks' backs is pretty weird... but some of the variants here leave one wondering, "Wait... how can it transform...?"

hulagu Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 They missed a opportunity to expand on those MTF packs here. I would have liked more on Xena's weird concept variant packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh... not the first time we've seen something like that done tho, is it? Didn't the Macross Model Hobby Handbook have some VF-1 hardware that was kitbashed out of Destroid bits?

Didn't the Macross Model Hobby Handbook have some VF-1 hardware that was kitbashed out of Destroid bits? I'd need to check the book out again...I do recall lots of weaponry swapping among the destroids...but don't remember if they used destroid weapons on the valks..... But, yeah...not entirely a new concept I guess....Macross the First just took it further into the WTF area! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFs holding Destroid guns as hand held weapons YTgdx25.jpg Armored VF with gunclusters replacing the chest missile packs FZpxNak.jpg There was another picture of a VF that has a Tomahawk 6 shot missile box mounted on the right forearm, along with the shoulder missiles from a VF Armored and modified leg FAST packs that have rocket thrusters.

Seto Kaiba Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Thanks Andras! I knew they'd done that before. My copy of the Squadrons Master File rolled in today... after a quick skim, I think I'm going to have fun with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I've made some efforts to try to translate some of this myself. Calling my Japanese rudimentary would be an over-statement. Way, way over my head here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
