aaajin Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 Hi, I'm planning to buy a VF-1D trainer to put a GBP armor on it. However, I'm not sure whether the armor will fit in.. I'm pretty sure someone else posted a pic. of this before (a 1D in GBP) but I couldn't find it anymore now.. I'm seeking advice from more-experienced members about this matter. Thanks, aaajin Quote
eyesonme78 Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 i think it doesn'yt fits in.. think and ask people around first before you buy it cause it's gonna cost ya.. Quote
mechaninac Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 The only fit problem I see with placing the GBP armor on the VF-1D is the heat shield piece. If you look at the 1D, the back pack is the same as other VFs, same arms, same legs and hips; thus, all the pieces should fit. The only differences between the 1D and the 1A, 1J, and 1S are the chest plate (should not prove a problem for the GBP chest armor) and the heat shield piece that comes with the GPB has a slot that corresponds with a peg on the armor (this is the hang-up as this heat shield will not fit the 1D; however, if you leave off the heat shield piece, the armor should be able to just hang over the chest, but it will be floppy). PS: The above is not an endorsement to buy a VF-1D. You should only buy the trainer if you like the design; buying it specifically to mount a GBP is not a good idea. PPS: You've made me curious. I'm going to have to give this a try just to find out if would be possible to mount the GBP on the VF-1D. PPPS: Even if it proves impossible to mount the GBP on the 1D, it still can wear the fast packs, or just sit there unadorned; it's a good looking toy regardless. Quote
aaajin Posted August 11, 2004 Author Posted August 11, 2004 wouu... ....hey, has anyone tried applying a double sided tape on the chest armor to make it stick to the 1D chest? Well, it's just for displaying purposes right? aaajin Quote
Godzilla Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 Wow that looks really nice. Makes me almost buy the GBP and VF-1D... I said ALMOST. Now if they can make it in the 1/48scale... Quote
Impreszive Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 I put the GBP armor on the extra 1S that I had. I think it looks pretty neat with it on. Quote
LocoMacross Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 I did a switch put the super parts on my vf-1d and of coure the armor on the vf-1j Quote
