Jarrod Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 I originally got this kit back in '97 for the 15th Ann, back when my modeling skills consisting of snapping together, spraying on the dull-coat, and drawing all over it with a Gundam marker. Recently however, I've decided to re-do a few of my old kits properly(ie, glue, putty, paint, wash, etc) and for the VF-19 I decided to do a few simple modifications to it. The pic below shows them. The only mod I did for the Battroid mode was the waist piece; I removed the original midsection and added a taller, slimmer piece(I never really understood why flared out like it was). The rest of the changes were to improve the appearence of the fighter. The main wing sections were extended to meet the legs and fuselage, removing the very unsightly(and completely unneccasary) gap the existed originally. The shield and shoulder flaps were also modified to fit together better. After painting, proper UN Spacy decals were added as well. Well, on to the pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarrod Posted January 31, 2004 Author Share Posted January 31, 2004 Battroid mode....the reason I love this kit. I don't know why I love the VF-19S Battroid so much, but I do. I think its obvious Bandai designed this kit with this mode taking priority, it's very anime accurate and well proportioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarrod Posted January 31, 2004 Author Share Posted January 31, 2004 very nice work except the wings, ive never seen the anime so i dont know if it is more acurate extended but i tihnk it just looks wird, like a blending of f-22 and x-29 wing Perhaps I should have phrased that better...the wings themselves were not extended, that is indeed how they look in the anime; the wing spines were added to in order to fill a gap. If you look in the very first pic, the white peices are my modifications, all the blue is the orignal kit. Jarrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eming Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Awsome Looks wicked I always liked the Blazer. I wish Yamato or Hasegawa could produce the valks. I sure they would do a better job then Bandai. Here's my 2 cents on the Fire valk I did ages ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aegis! Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Awsome Looks wicked I always liked the Blazer. I wish Yamato or Hasegawa could produce the valks. I sure they would do a better job then Bandai. Here's my 2 cents on the Fire valk I did ages ago AWESOME !!! man that VF-19 Kai looks amazing , wonderful weathering and bullet effects , it seems Basara is getting his ass handed to him pretty badly. You make the Kai look like a real war machine HAve you got anymore pics ? Sorry I forgot , I also love the Blazer valkyrie , I think it´s even cooler than the YF-19 to be honest.
