F996 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Hey guys! I post on behalf of my 'Macross fan group' friend to introduce his works of YF-19 FAST pack compatible with Arcadia's YF-19. He was inspired by the FAST PACK in 'MASTER FILE of YF-19' (page 061) and wants to combine VF-19ADV's FAST PACK with it. It was difficult to find the ADV FAST pack kit from T-REX, so he referencing Hasegawa's line art. After he posted some pictures on Chinese social media, there are a lot of Macross fans shows interest. So he was thinking to sell the kit. It was a pitty that the FAST pack kit could not fully transform with YF-19, but we couldn't found a better solution right now. If you guys also have interests please leave your comments. We also wants to know how many of your willing to purchase it. Now the modeling is almost finished, several samples have been printed. Here are some technical details: On the shoulder, it has a missile launcher similar to T-REX's design. It could transform with the toy. The FAST pack on the back is fixed and used two kinds of adapters for fighter and battlroid mode. The VF-25 style FAST pack could allow rotate the wings which DX VF-19adv can not. It also provides a pair of adapters to mount on the side of the wings in battlroid mode. Thanks for watching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 So, you're going for a resin kit? Those look pretty good, honestly. I imagine there'd definitely be some interest around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine there'd definitely be some interest around here. So, we think about selling print kits, as some parts may not suitable for resin copy. And the price of resin material rises quite a lot this year. I will continue contact some resin copy workshop to compare the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmkjr Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) Will there be decals included? I'd be down for a set. Are these 3d resin or fdm? Looks pretty close to the T-REX parts. I like the shoulder missile pod design and how it doesn't have those fragile arms. Also I like how the VF-25 boosters are one piece, thrusters are not on a ball joint, and there is a hole to peg the front tip.

Knight26 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 That's awesome, I'd love to print a set. The backpacks, do they actually translate between fighter and battroid or do they have to be swapped out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The printing is not FDM, it has smooth surface. The shoulder missile pod structure shows on the top area of those picture I posted. You could check that. Well about the VF25 boosters, I personally want it to be a seperate structure, which the booster engine and missle pod could be divided. Therefore we could have more weapon choices such as those on the masterfile. However my friend's Rhino7 has some issues with modeling that. It claps when trying seperate.

It needs different adapters. We think about several solotions of transform but the connection parts will be to fragile. We will continue thinking about that.

I was referring to the boosters not split vertically in half like the TREX parts but sounds like an even better plan to allow more customization. Decals for the boosters are a pain because it's mostly white markings so it's hard to print a set for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Somehow I totally missed this thread despite the fact I've always wanted 11-style fast packs for my 19 ever since seeing the Master File pics. However, those 11-style packs are too skinny compared to the art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F996 Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share Posted December 31, 2021 Wish you Happy new year, everyone! Sorry Guys, I did not update this on time. I'm busy with my work and so do my friend Mr. IO He made some progress on this project in late November but was still stuck on the backpack's mechanical structure. It was really hard to create a small transformation part for the backpack. The current structure is so frailly for transformation. Now it can be compatible with the Fold pack but looks a little bit weird in Battroid mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
