brainiac_08 Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 I just felt the mood to watch DYRL the other day, and i noticed that Roy's heatshield was not black, it was yellow does anyone else notice this, or is it just me J.J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neova Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 (edited) Yamato Valkyries are accurate (so are Bandai's) since Studio Nue and Big West would approve of the color designs before production is OK'ed. I always thought the Yellow heat shield looked really good on Roy though. The color coordination made sense but the cool factor of the black heatshield can't be ignored. There was a long discussion about color matched heatshields in the thread about Max's VF-1S heatshield. DYRL showed it as black but "officially", its blue. Animation errors.

That is an animation error. It is only yellow in one short scene. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 I always thought the Yellow heat shield looked really good on Roy though. The color coordination made sense but the cool factor of the black heatshield can't be ignored. You can't say that a yellow heatshield is any more colour co-ordinated then a black shield since the tail fins have the white skull on black background too.

Neova Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 (edited) I should have clarified - color coordinated against the rest of the team: Max with Blue heatshield, Hikaru with Red and Kakikazi with Green from DYRL. Here is a reference. I know, NOT official but cool looking nevertheless. Sigh... I need to budget for another 1/48 to have this "variant".

estacado06479 Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 i love the 1/48, but nothing takes the wind out of my sails like a well built beautifully sculpted Hasegawa...sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muswp1 Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Wasn't there a thread about this exact topic about two months ago??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewilen Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 That's a much longer cycle than many other topics. Anyway, I hate the yellow heat shield. Not enough contrast, and too graphically "distant" from the twin inspirations: the Jolly Rogers USN squadron, and the pirate's Jolly Roger skull & crossbones flag. OTOH, I like the Hikaru red heat shield; I think the Max blue one is okay, and a green Kakizaki would also probably not be bad (although more likely he has a bullseye on his shield!)

Godzilla Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Wasn't there a thread about this exact topic about two months ago??? Yes it was me. I was asking about Max's heatshield color b/c I was doing a custom for my Max 1/48 VF-1S. It started a debate because I did not know which was right to make the custom. Now, I am done which was easy changing parts. Now I need to paint the arrows on the VF-1S head as blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
