Looks good...I like the look of the small missile pod better...

Just looking forward to the artbook...

The 1/00 Arii kits are very much in-scale to the 1/100 Takatokus....the only thing that is making me think this is not a 1/100 VF-1D kit head, is I think the seam on the 1/100 Arii head unit is molded into top and bottom halves....this VF-1D head looks like it has not been worked on, like removing the seams or painted....I am not a kit guy but maybe someone can post a pic of the unpainted VF-1D head from one of the ARII 1/100 Battroid kits...I believe it should be molded in the same 'tan' color....maybe from the 1/100 transforming kits? It is known that Takatoku had a VF-1D planned, but was postponed due to other priorities in their production schedule...then the BK happened....I would not be surprised if mock ups had been created for both the 1/55 and 1/100 lines by Matsushiro....for these toys it probably would have just been a head and 'maybe' different chest piece, but doubtful...they probably would have just went with stickers for the chest piece....so it wouldn't have been a large amount of work for them to roll-out a couple of demo VF-1D's....it is nice to imagine that this is one of those 'mock ups' for the VF-1D.... Not only am I not a kit guy, I also am not much into the KOs...I'm curious, was there a 'Takatoku-based' 1/100 VF-1D KO? If anyone knows, I would imagine it would be you...lol
