sqidd Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) I just scored a Yamato VF-1 Low Vis Woodlands. I also got a set of Strike Packs to paint "Army Green". The question is what paint do I want to use. I'm thinking a flat or semi gloss??? Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

nightmareB4macross Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 You could use flat to begin with an add a clear coat of matte to seal and protect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekering Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 But... the super/strike packs were only for use in space, and wouldn't even function aerodynamically in an atmosphere... What would be the point of a camouflage color scheme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pengbuzz Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Well, in war you sometimes have to do strange things that aren't advised. I can envisage a VF-1 Super having to make planetfall but not be able to jettison the packs for whatever reason. That, or a tech crew found them and fitted them onto a VF-1 to get it spaceborn to reach the Macross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right; copper appears as greenish as an ore (Malechite and Azurite), so asteroids and airless planetoids could also suffice. Just brainstorming some possibilities here.

I can't figure out how to get it apart without breaking something. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
