electric indigo Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Here's a very comprehensive interview with the developers of the kit, talking about Kawamori's input, Hidetaka Tenjin designing the markings, making a seamless bubble canopy, and future VF-31 and YF-29 releases: https://hobby.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/interview/1343913.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight26 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I actually like the idea of these, yes a full valk would be cooler, but as av-nut having just the nose and cockpit is pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the interior is blank and there is nothing for detailing on the 1-piece canopy. Guess that leave work for us modelers but, still a bit annoying given the cost of the kit.

Rock Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 It's interesting how the canopy tint's application can make the finished build's feel swing towards model kit or a more toy-like appearance. Diorama concept? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kajnrig Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Am I just crazy, or are the noses a bit short and stubby? Maybe the lack of the rest of the airframe just throws it off, but I could swear these should be longer than they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big s Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I think it’s just lack of perspective since they are only a portion of the plane, but they may be a bit girthy. On another note, it is interesting to see these on U.S. sites as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a couple of photos from @jenius' Anymoon site to compare it with those promo pics. Hope that's ok, Jenius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having to paint on all that striping is pretty huge. Yep full color and painted. Mine has defects and even has scratches on the backsides where injection marks are. Should hide with topcoating though if you don't plan to paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
