Just as I would've liked to see hardpoints under the wings in the new version of Bandai's YF-21, even though I know it might not be canonical, and in the VF-25 revivals — perhaps even more desirably here since they lack internal missile storage — now I'm surprised to see hardpoints on the VF-19 Kai prototype. Here, too, it's not canonical; in fact, it's obvious that Basara would never use them. But the possibility of customizing my toys is always welcome in my book.
