Batou Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Holy crap does that thing look cool wearing all of that stuff. I just lowered the shelf mine sit on so the strike cannon will fit. I've got two paid for and all there is to do now is endure the eternity before they arrive in my grubby little hands ... <_< These are definitely getting used! .

Yohsho Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Must get a set. Thanks for the review. What are those decals? I think one is a budwieser label but what's the top pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 (edited) anybody know of a Low-Vis specific FP set? or if Yamato is planning on making one? Edited September 1, 2003 by Isamu Atreides 86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinmoons Posted September 1, 2003 Author Share Posted September 1, 2003 anybody know of a Low-Vis specific FP set? or if Yamato is planning on making one? Haven't heard of any news about low vis FP's yet, but I sure hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley424 Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Lovely, would like to have a set with a color scheme to go with the low-vis, just for kicks really. More likely I'll end up having to paint up a set myself (if I dare). Hoping for M&M VF-1J set with TV Fast-Packs (hoping, wishing, praying) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblueeyes Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Can someone with photoshop skills do a pic of the low-viz with armor the same color as the gunpod and the missles? Just wondering what it would look like! Thanks, Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 (edited) I don't have a decent photoshop program so I apologize for the poor quality. I think the Low-Vis specific FAST packs should match the light blue trim of the Low-Vis VF-1A: Can someone do it better for me, please? I'd really like to see a decent pic matching the blue trim.

Commander McBride Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 I like it in that color. I think the LW packs would look good in the same color as the LV istelf, though, in keeping with the realistic scheme. Maybe the armor would match the LV color, and the packs would be white. It's just that the real FPs on the F-15 are the F-15 body color. Maybe there won't be LV packs, though. At 15,000 each, there are already 75,000 confirmed 1/48s in normal colors, but, what, only 10,00 LVs, ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinmoons Posted September 1, 2003 Author Share Posted September 1, 2003 (edited) Ok, here's my attempt to match up the colors. I lightened up the armor a bit, added some texture to it and changed the missile colors (got a bit too blue). And I couldn't resist to gold plate'em Edited September 1, 2003 by twinmoons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yohsho Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 And I couldn't resist to gold plate'em Can we say "Bling Bling", but seriously what would the FP's look like if they were the same colour as the gunpod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonz Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 i'm not sure if this is "white" enough to match the low-viz gunpod.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander McBride Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 (edited) Like I said, try making the packs white, but the leg armor the color of the valk itself. I also think maybe the RMSs would be green, like a real AGM or bomb, which would look better on the LV.

Commander McBride Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 That second one looks pretty good. I'd personally make it a super, not a strike, but I think that's a good scheme for the FPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra Large Mumma Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Tamim, thank you for the pics/reviews. The bluish color is so much cooler than the greenish one on the 1:60. I wish they used blue for the 1:60 Strike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yohsho Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Bah I've been doing that since last year to afford the valks, now just a little more and can affored the FP's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom64ss Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Thanks for the pics and the mini review. Are the Hayoa Kakizake decals really that dark green, or is it the lighting? I always thought Kakizake's plane had a light greenish/blue color, those decals look almost forrest green. They come with Kakizake stickers??? Did I miss something? Does that mean he's getting an official release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB0 Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Thought: The low-vis is pretty clearly an atmospheric paint scheme, as space is NOT gray(not that bright white is exactly the best choice...). It stands to reason that there wouldn't be low-vis FAST packs, as they wouldn't be low-vis if they matched the plane. Having said that, they look pretty good.

Amped Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 (edited) Excellent pix! I can't wait to get a set! Normally I don't dig the blue DYRL?-style colouring, prefering the greenish TV style... however, surprisingly, the stock blue doesn't look half bad with the low viz valk! I'll probably still customize 'em; but 'til I get around to it, the stock colour will do! Edited September 3, 2003 by Amped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
