VF-1A Grunt Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 That's sharp! Nice work! I wish Hasegawa would sell the TV pilot separately, maybe a set of 6 or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMK Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 That's sharp! Nice work! I wish Hasegawa would sell the TV pilot separately, maybe a set of 6 or something. And in 1/48, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZEOD Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Whats the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF-1A Grunt Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) The TV flight suit is this much thinner one: The DYRL movie flight suit (which is included in the Hasegawa 1/72 weapons set) is the bulkier one with the big shoulder pads that looks more like a space suit: The Master Files VF-1 books explains it as if the TV version is an early suit and the movie version was designed later for better survivability in space. It also shows the suit that Hikaru wore in the VF-4 clip in Flashback and describes it as a third version. The Hasegawa 1/48 VF-1A/J kit includes the TV cockpit and pilot, while the 1/48 VF-1A/S included the movie cockpit and pilot. I like the idea that both could exist to represent different stages in development of the VF-1. I want to model several 1/72 VF-1s to represent the time period right as the war started, so I want TV cockpits and pilots, but then I'll do some later examples (e.g. with FAST packs) using the movie cockpit and pilot. Edit: The 1/72 Gerwalk kit introduced the TV pilot, as seen in this model. Edited September 15, 2016 by VF-1A Grunt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMK Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I'd just like a GERWALK & Battroid in 1/48! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
