Thanks for the review, but can you be more clear about the heat shield? What do you mean that it has a "ugly, blur panel line on it"?
originally, every VF-1 HEAT shield must have a panel line on it.
but all the yamato 1/48 DYRL VF-1 are miss this.
just TV VF-1J have this panel line.
the hikaru's one made by solid white plastic, have a thin & sharp panel print on it ,but have some off position problem.
The max's one use clear plastic again, and the panel line too blur and thick.
there have two picture:
kakizaki's one was added panel line by myself,
(sorry, I haven't got the pic of hikaru 1J here)
the max's one I tuned the level, now you can see this clearly.
