Xigfrid Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Received the two antennas for the Hayate 31J today and they look good as a replacement. The first version is a straight one just like the original, the second one goes nicer against the fuselage. I also made a steel version but it didn't fit well because it was too hard and heavy.
spanner Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 I do like the idea of the head laser / antenna which tucks right up against the fuselage! looks great!
Xigfrid Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 That's Chronocidal's original idea, I am just the executioner
Chronocidal Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Yeah, I just always find myself catching my fingers against the antenna, and wishing it laid flat like the VF-25G. I haven't installed the lasers on my models because I don't want to snap them off. The VF-19 Advance has that issue too, the laser sticks up too far to be of any use directly rearward. It's pretty much entirely because of the way Bandai redesigned the shield too. If it was the proper distance away from the head, there'd be plenty of room to lay it back further.

Yeah it's a bummer about that price, they actually tack on a finder's fees on that for the auction site to take a cut, plus shipping on top. Does anyone know what are the odds of getting one on release with the JPN MSRP?

Kind of weird since I didn't secure the initial PO's of this and now I have to worry payment for the third one. Hehehe. Edited March 28, 2017 by no3Ljm

That red is really worrying for me. I want Mirage's VF-31, but I also want it to be purple like in the show. I'm going to try pre-ordering when it goes live though, with the hopes that the final product is purple.
Duymon Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 I'm cool with red. everyone who hate the red it please don't preorder so I can get my 2
MacrossJunkie Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Did someone from Arcadia quit to go work at Bandai? That color is so off in a way that only Arcadia could have managed.

F360 Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 After all the vf-31 gets release, theyll do a anime color ver for web exclusive! ,
seti88 Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Bandai saved costs by batch ordering the same red for both HMR milla and DX mirage ...and to go one step further, same red you will see if they decide to release a VF-1EX!
Sildani Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Makina is included? Wonder if the stand will be reinforced to accommodate the extra weight of her figure.

Chronocidal Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Kinda irritated it's still such an off color, but I can't say it's a bad color, either. Won't stop me from trying to order a pair, anyway.
Duymon Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 No, You shouldn't Let Bandai get away with this. Vote with your wallets so that.. uh.... I can not get cart-jacked...yeah...
snakerbot Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 It seems to depend a lot on the angle the picture was taken from, the lighting, the camera, etc. Different pictures from that same display show a bunch of different colors. Sometimes it looks pink, sometimes, red, even within differently-lighted sections of the same picture.
Xigfrid Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 That's the same phenomenon with the gold on the sv262, in artificial light it looks almost orange but in sun light it's more like champagne.

Too bad she will only come in pilot suit inside the canopy. No stand needed though. Hehehe. 3 hours ago, valhary said: I see pink not red PO cancelled. Wrong shade of Grey.
David Hingtgen Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 But it simply shouldn't be "so close to red that it only looks sorta ok in some lighting". This is not anywhere near pure red: Surely the Japanese fans are commenting on the color???
Sildani Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Seeing as they can see the real thing, it might be closer than you think.
