JKeats Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 That is a beauty, great job! One suggestion: take the red stripes off of the legs, i think it contrasts too much with the paint on the tail fins and in battroid mode would look a lot cleaner without the distracting red stripes.

Knight26 Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Sweet, it's always nice to see real world squadrons represented as VF's, go VF-31 Tomcatters. Are you going to do FAST Packs for it as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etrigan Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 (edited) That's hot. Very nice work all around. I agree with the comment about the stripes, they detract too much from the overall look. But otherwise it looks great.

captain america Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Hi Indigo. Your conversion is absolutely great, I love it!! Honestly, I'd disagree with the comments to delete the red hot section lines on the legs, I think they tie-in nicely with the red on the V-tails, and i'd even offer a further suggestion: have you contemplated possibly putting the "Felix & The Bomb" cartoon on the heatshield? This and having the heatshield in red would really distribute color more uniformly, but even without, your job is still excellent--kudos! I'd personally love to see other conversions using existing squadron markings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closely resembling Roys.... hymm look all over the hobby stores but can't find any 1/48's tomcats decals. I'll try to swich the red heat shield from the vf-1s hikaru. thanks for the input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jawjaw Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I dig it! I love customs like that - ones that reflect modern aircraft. I agree about the red on the legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Ace Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Very nice custom! Are those decals from the Revell 1/48 Tomcat kit? I disagree with adding the red heat shield. I like the black one; you could just add a "Felix" decal to it and then seal it up, so it doesn't scratch off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the white drew carey Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I think it all looks good. I've never really been a fan of the -1J head, but I don't mind it at all on your custom!!! Kudos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Sweet, it's always nice to see real world squadrons represented as VF's, go VF-31 Tomcatters. Are you going to do FAST Packs for it as well? I agree with that. Very fitting since the VF-1 is based on the Tomcat design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nani?! Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 (edited) Awesome work indigo. I agree with the others with the red stripe thing. Take it OFF! The shade of red is slightly different from the tail fins and IMHO, it's kinda distracting. Again, Kick ass custom. EDIT: also, perhaps some panel lines would help? Edited March 2, 2004 by Nani?!
