GMK Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 For some reason, the Admiral Kuznetsov deck sections look very "anime" to me - not necessarily Macross, but anime nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinjo Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 It's the helo circles. Most anime decks have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinjo Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I want to see a Tomytec fighter up close before I pull the trigger, but so far they are looking good! I really want a delta 02 but if I missed it cause of bandai PO madness then at least we got this little thing that we can buy multiples I also want a VF-31A! I so want the CF VF-25A, 31A, 171's. I suspect it is due to my fetish for rare items and the CF fighters being less likely to be sold compared to hero valks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechTech Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 That does look cool!!! The Russians have circles on their carrier decks. We have lines so they have to have circles. It's an old US vs Russia thing - MT http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/kuznetsov/kuznetsov5.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference from an LHD carrier is that the AK carrier also has a jet launch ramp. Edited March 9, 2016 by Zinjo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JET7 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 estimated cost each? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 estimated cost each? They are already up for Preorder and the prices are in line with all the other 1/144 TOmytech stuff; around 25-35 USD a pop on average. I've seen other Tomytech stuff in Japan and it's very, very detailed. However, too pricey for me. It's basically just a snap-kit with a crapton of Tampo printing. Proportions are always a little miffed because parts need to be structurally sound in the tiny 1/144 scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti88 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) From tomytecs twitter pics, it seems that there is are extra tail decals included to customise your valk! Different tail decals will be provided between the 1S,J and A gerwalk sets. Now thinking if i should just get the 1J to get the sundowners tail decal...

seti88 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I wonder if they will add the same option for 31a. Will have to wait and see on that, as even for hayate's gerwalk mode they havent released the details of what decals would be included. Oooh, a Vf-1 VF-1! Chris hehe nicely said! Am not sure how it will work on roys version, it doesnt look like skull emblem is part of the decal sheet. Which means you might have to decal over the skull emblem if you want a variant? For 1A and 1J the default tails are empty so you can decal as you wish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big s Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 On the delta thread it was mentioned that these may be a new type of decal, instead of standard waterslide decals so you may want to take note of that before treating them the same.

Duymon Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Look at the fighter mode sprue. I can hear the screams of modelers who try to clip off piece #5. Those fins be crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hal9000 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Are we expecting much in the way of articulation? To me the hips don't seem to have much clearance in battroid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big s Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 The joints are there for articulation, but the wings look like they may be in the way. I'm not sure if it would be too difficult to mod the upper body to lean forward far enough for clearance like the revoltech battroid figure.

seti88 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 This is tomytec's strategy to get us buying more fighter modes! Because of that tail decal, am now evaluating to get a gerwalk + 2 fighters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
