The other way round, its does make hayate's 31J valk look special Op-ish due to the large area's of black in battroid, but the tie-in isnt that strong... I think arad's supers with the teal would look like jungle camo-ish...maaaann.... Btw, nice photoshop skillz there noel! Bandai shld give u a commision for helping to move the supers! Thanks Seti! Been using Photoshop since '96. We made dero doing it so that's an achievement. 16 hours ago, dero said: Was intending skipping the Messer super parts for the incoming Messer order... seems like I can't now. *sigh* 16 hours ago, seti88 said: Welcome to the forums! lolz....

anime52k8 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I hate the 31A in general. The new wing parts are terrible and the color scheme is bland and boring. It's like the bran flakes of VF designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like the bran flakes of VF designs. I'm not a big fan of low vis Valks, but I really like the VF-31A in general. For me the VF-1 low vis looks more bland than this one. Probably because of the plane design that's why I like this one more. Definitely will buy one if Bandai decides to make this one too. 15 hours ago, seti88 said: Here you go... Question guys. Is the back pack container suppose to look like this in Kairos? Is this canon or just plain custom? Because I remember seeing them in action in episode 6 wearing Super Parts too but the container definitely resembles the one that Siegfried's carry. I also remember seeing the part that extends after the area where the green flap charger/sensor releases missiles too. But not from where the photo shows which is the other half of the container. Any verificaiton on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) I remember asking the same question and someone mentioned it was(?)/or likely in the technical specifications of the 31A. The above kairos is a custom kit by KUWA of frame-out models, but i don't think it was pulled out of a rabbit's hat.. However, for a "DX" 31A, bandai will usually follow the episodes shown, which do not have those backpack missiles.

Ryoma Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 9 hours ago, Master Dex said: Natch, and it is my favorite, and I did pre-order one. Though it isn't the color scheme that gets me so much that it is the ace pilot model. I also pre-ordered Keith's Draken for the same reason... though I do also really like his color scheme (and plus this allows for the perfect rival display). I also like Max a lot in SDFM for the same reason.. and his colors are rather flashy compared to others in that show. I have to admit that i always had a crush on Max's VF too. Especially the VF-1S in DYRL. I also pre-ordered Keith's Draken but for me what got me of that aircraft is the mix between the "fantasy" elements(the sword, the golden lines, the emblem, the shield etc.) and the war-machine feel, especially with the super/fast pack(which i am really looking forward to). Actually now that i think about it what really got me into Delta in the beginning was the J-RPG atmospehere that there was in the first 10-12 episodes or so. Sorry if i am going OT!

Axelay Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I have this sinking feeling that even though the Kairos doesn't just call out to me, I'll try to get one anyway. The Chronos looks superior in every conceivable way, to my eye. It's too bad that we likely won't see a reissued Chronos with the same engineering improvements featured in the Siegfried.

Duymon Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Yeah the battroid tabs would help a ton on the Chronos. Fighter and gerwalk are both pretty solid already though save the vertical stabilizers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I'd settle for a Chronos with Siegfried tails.. they were the weakest point of the YF-30, both aesthetically and structurally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolicon Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 My very quick and dirty 31J. Just did a wash and added some shading. Also painted in the shoulder sensors. That's pretty much it. Nothing fancy. The hard part was just trying to take anything apart because of Bandai's 'screw & glue' approach to these toys. Just battroid pics for now. I'll get some gerwalk and fighter mode pics after I fix something I totally messed up. That's one flexible battroid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHL tracking says delivery by end of day today but still hasn't scanned on board with the driver as yet. It's so hard to find time do this stuff when you're at work all the time, isn't it? I've had mine for a month now. A more skilled individual with a bit more free time probably could you have done this in a couple days. My fourth was delayed by a few days as I added a few more items to my shipment. It's on the way now! Did yours arrive yet?

seti88 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hey are those small micro missiles shooting out beside the gunpod barndoors in the gif? It looks too close to the pod to be part of the background swarm......You wont notice it unless you pay really close attention...perhaps micro missiles as part of the backpod could be true after all??
