i'm just really excited to see the new mold (and it SHOULD be a new mold. i dont think they could ret con the yf-19 effectively). the vf-19 is a great lookin fighter...not too crazy about basara or mac 7, but man the valk is slick...

This works in our favor because Yamato's 1/60 YF-19 is already starting to show it's age, especially when compared to the 1/60 YF-21 and VF-11B.

They can't get by using most of the 1/60 YF-19 mold, though similar and though the YF-19 is the prototype for the VF-19 continuity wise, the production VF-19 is much different than the YF-19 prototype. The only thing they share is the overall silhouette; everything else except maybe the canards and cockpit are different.

yeah i was noticing this weekend that it's lookin' a little chunky in spots compared to the execution on the 11b. thicker landing gear, bigger panel section breaks...however i still love it. it is my fave valk design. other than the non-locking cockpit in battroid mode mine has none of the problems that other owners seem to have on theirs. i would even pony up the cash for a 2.0 version.

A 2.0 with whatever quality control improvements they implement on the Fire Valkyrie would be awesome. Ideally, what I'd want is something close to lineart in battroid mode with a sleek fighter mode like the Hasegawa 1/72 kit. It is a difficult achievement, but Yamato tends to outdo themselves quite often. The jump in quality/design/engineering from the V1 1/60 VF-1 to the 1/48 VF-1 not even that many years later was astounding.
