artoor_k Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 (edited) Hello! Here is my next project.It's brand new YF-19 1:48 from Hasegawa.I'll place it on a diorama-airfield during hypothetical airshow.YF-19 will be with it's pilot in cockpit.Near taxiing YF-19 I'll place two resting pilots (from Academy F-86), the one with the cigarette will be waveing to pilot of YF-19.Actually I almost finished cockpit and seat and had begun to paint pilot (his suit looks like green but I swear it is blue as in the film): Here are photo of resting pilots: Edited November 3, 2009 by artoor_k Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sv51macross Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 This I'll be following. How does Hase deal with the surround-display cockpit? (the floor and sides of the tub reflecting whats below and around the aircraft when power's on?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Nice work so far ... This I'll be following.How does Hase deal with the surround-display cockpit? (the floor and sides of the tub reflecting whats below and around the aircraft when power's on?) Smoke and Mirrors ... Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
artoor_k Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 How does Hase deal with the surround-display cockpit? (the floor and sides of the tub reflecting whats below and around the aircraft when power's on?) Very simply:three decals Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trigger Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 How does Hase deal with the surround-display cockpit? (the floor and sides of the tub reflecting whats below and around the aircraft when power's on?) If the cockpit's reflecting, wouldn't it be showing the pilot's feet, legs and sky directly above? Mirrors looking back over the shoulder make sense, but I'm not sure what purpose mirrors on the cockpit floor serves except an attempt to look up the dresses of those underage anime girls...

Reflecting as in relaying. Basically, its like the XFA-27 from Ace 2/X or the 5/0's FALKEN with a glass canopy; the pilot sits above the cockpit tub on an elevated ejection seat with the tub comprised of flatscreen displays linked to cameras on the aircraft's underside to allow a much greater field of view as well as extend the scope of the HUD. A 'bridge' replaces the forward IP with critical instruments and maximizing view of the floors. And about your cute little witty statment; Get yo mind owt o' da gudder boi!

artoor_k Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 As it is said in MACROSS MECHA MANUAL-Rather than reinvent a control system for variable fighter craft, Shinsei opted to use a conventional control cockpit with an innovative wrap-around imaging monitor system. This new imaging system covered opaque sections of the cockpit interior, recreating a perfect window-like view of the surrounding environment and granting the pilot superior situational awareness.

artoor_k Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hello! Additional pilots almost finished (without wash).Not a perfect job,I'm not a figure expert (I'm not expert at all ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
artoor_k Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 Hello! A little progress... :P Pilots after wash: Here is the cockpit with pilot: Stripes on shoulders ale painted because of thickness of Hasegawa decals Intakes and engines: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
artoor_k Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hello! No update today because but I have a question.What do you think about JOLLY ROGER markings ?:) I have a plan to add skulls on vertical fins and paint my YF-19 on Humbrol 28 (the same as VF-0S). What's your opinion? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a plan to add skulls on vertical fins and paint my YF-19 on Humbrol 28 (the same as VF-0S). What's your opinion? Pretty hard for an aircraft to not look good with black/yellow tails and the skull-and-crossbones. Go for it! Also, the customized figures look really nice. that one guy looks like he's drinking from a 2L bottle though. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not saying it'll look bad, but how many times have we seen VF-1 kits built in those markings? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clumber Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 How about TigerMeet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HWR MKII Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Jolly Rogers have been overdone. Not saying it'll look bad, but how many times have we seen VF-1 kits built in those markings? Thats because the VF-1 is supposed to have those markings. Its what comes in the hasegawa boxes and what is used in the 1984 film. However JR YF-19s have been done and honestly they dont look that great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ranger_Chris61 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I like the tigermeet idea; though I think that depending on how complex a paint scheme you decide to do it could be very difficult. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
artoor_k Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Hello! I painted armanent and engine bay white and gunmetal.Then a acryl black wash was added: Now preshading is finished (sorry for no photos).It isn't black but grey H64 because after VF-0S I don't like such a strong effect of black preshading. The Tigermeet idea sounds good but I don't know if I'll be able to paint it good enough... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
