I was granted clearance from the Valk's owner to transform it.

Its interesting on how the light reflects off the parts it shows as a different color.

Enjoy!

Bonus!

Rivals take a moment to pose of the camera.

This one!

It really tells how big SV-51 is... if you consider how big already is the VF-0S !

Amazing shots

Now I got a question if I really want a 0B: can I hope for its release after all the 0S, 0A, reactive armor, ghost etc? Or do I need to buy 2 VF-0D and 2 VF-0A to combine them into a VF-0B ?

I don't have much info into the new TV serie, perhaps there are a bunch of repaints in it… Because I don't see Bandai investing in a whole new mold just for one shot (exception to the VF-27!) specially for a valk that appeared only in a game

Really amazing weathering/tampos. Did you matt finish it ?

Thanks, I much prefer the complete kit if you can spare some of your time in this project!

That price tag made the decision difficult... Had to double check twice at different online shops before deciding.

The vf-0 are my favorite valks, engineering speaking. They also remind me so much of the original VF-1s but more massive, aggressive look!

I am firmly waiting for this release (gloups about the price), but I am so in for the Over versions.

I used nail polish for that matter, but didn't move long enough before it dries up so now it's kind of stuck in the correct position lol! I could unlock it with a small cutter but I like it fixed in fact.

Nice poses also!

I think one thing about VF-1's is that it brings new collectors into the fold who want to start getting a gang of Skull squad together.

It's a gateway drug.

So true

I already have the armor but i'm excited for this to come out. Hope they follow on with camo colored armor.

What about a Minmay Guard version next !? Would love that

It is also always possible to tighten a loose valk.

Amazing picts MJ. The super parts on the YF-29 bring so much to the bare plane! I'm glad I have them, now I just wish to have your weathering skills

Amazing shoots. Now I want a CF 171 for these warhead beauty's!

I have Tamyia-coated both my RVF and VF-25G super parts, and sure you don't want to over spray because the paint is slightly reacting to it (diluted by it). I have coated my Isamu's YF-29 also without any issue this time.

I am kinda used to this Tamyia can and love it even if it can be dangerous if too much coat is applied in one stroke.

Edit: I had so far near 0 issue with Yamato / Arcadia releases. Crossing fingers

Hum that seems more subtle than I thought

I don't have these kind of skills with pray cans so I don't really know what I can do.

What if I pre-coat the YF-30 with Tamyia matte TS80, and would that protect the original bandai's black paint job ?

Ha thank you for the advices Chaotic Yeti, Chyll2 and The Old Man.

The quick answer is that I would like to turn lighter a portion of the wings (the outter black band) just like wm cheng did, but he did using airbrush technique.

I would not test it directly on the YF-30. But as the test seems quiet simple (turning black into a lighter black), I will test different technique on a black surface to see whatever works. I want to try the drybrush as advertized by my reseller, but I will also try to test different levels of diluted paints.

The Umbrol costs only 2,50 EUR, and I bet I can learn some useful techniques

Thank you for the fast reply. I usually use the Tamyia top coat, the low pressure can ones. The result is very good.

I should have a look if my reseller has a grey tint that would be transparent enough!

Just to follow this up, I went to a modelism retailer nearby and he advised me to "drybrush" with an Humbrol emanel grey paint. I just bought it and I will give it a test.

you looking for one? pm me i have 6.

Just pm'ed. I think I am one of these few having the supers in ordered, but missed this release during pre-order frame

I don't think you'd get an even enough finish brushing any top/clear coat to lighten the black, when you brush transparent coats, brush marks are that much more apparent.

Great paint fix Wm Cheng! The light weathering is also great. I wish I had a air brush too!

Would it be an alternate method with a Tamyia coat or something similar that could do the same for the black borders w/out the air brush?

Amazing, that makes me thinking of buying the incoming Arcadia 1J armored and upgrade it with your add-on if you make it available

Yeah, but could be kool to swap the old fast pack on this release.

The gunpod has to shoot paintballs too. Or have The 0D be able to look like it's been shot up by paintballs. Stickers or whatever.

This made me laugh! Nice idea

If by any chance someone is keen to make several "Paladin sets" for the prophecy, I am sure a bunch of fellas like me who lakes totally any skill in painting/customizing would be interested to buy.

Just let me know, if it feels like feasible! I really don't think Bandai would ever consider making a Paladin set, but I hope I am wrong
