Ordered on Friday and arrived following Tuesday! awesome quick turn around! Overall its pretty bloody good for a "B" rated item! One tiny crease aside but the box is in really great condition and the Valkyrie itself is just about perfect! The legs don't quite stay locked in on the underside in fighter mode if you handle it too much but other than that I simply can't fault it at all! Thanks Jungle! -
Diamond Force is (finally) complete!

that is pretty bloody good for just a "doodle"!!! very nice work!
-
Its very cool than Iran still has them going but from my understanding.. of those claimed 40 or so that are still flying, not all are actually mission capable.. and of those which are will only become fewer and fewer before long.
-
that's a good price especially for NY but still not quite as good as the HLJ sale price where I snagged mine! still a saving is a saving.
-
that looks fantastic! I'd love to have one on display in Iranian markings.

couldn't help myself.. I bought another model car! hey I just spent hundreds on a Valkyrie so im allowed at least one more die-cast car! hehe! And obviously the one pictured isn't mine but its the same as the one I got. -
ouchies! sorry to see that happen.. I don't think I've ever seen the neck hinge thing break ever!? either that stuff or the smallest drop of some good quality super glue.

hehe! that's hilarious! nahhh.. my (Yamato) Basara valk is gonna stay in fighter mode! and definitely not any silly speaker pod.. -
hey thanks! I already had one of each 17D & S and just needed a 2nd 17D to complete Diamond Force.. Regarding the FP stands.. I would imagine different types of plastic may suffer a reaction but for me so far so good (touch wood). Even on the Bandai Valkyrie's there hasn't been any issue. Even the six VF-1 valks I had sitting on FP stands all came off without an issue when I changed their display to sitting on landing gear. Also climate would also be a factor. During both winter and summer months I run the A/C quite a lot so where my Valks are displayed doesn't go through such varying temperature or humidity ranges which im sure also helps. The only thing I have on display currently which seems to have had a reaction to the warmer weather is a 1/18 Autoart Volvo 850 model car.. the tires seem to have been weeping some kind of clear fluid. Not very much but enough to notice and require a clean up when or if I move it. Very strange, never seen that before and I did have quite a few models cars at one time!

Hehe! probably more like an Ozma color scheme eh! Or a stealth / low vis Roy.. Yeah the FP stands are still working great! No sticking, residue or paint damage issues what so ever! For example the M&M VF-22's had been sitting on them for ages and when I went to move them around to fit in Gamlin's valk, they just lifted right off without a problem. As with any others for that matter!

Indeed I do!

yeah nothing against the landing gear themselves even if the rear gear don't lock in place. I just preferred the flying pose look as apposed to sitting on the tarmac. But yeah the more I look at it the more im liking it sitting there. And agreed they do have good looking landing gear! just a shame they don't lock in place when deployed. I also really like the gear on the SV-51.

these are brilliant! thanks for sharing them with us!
-
Thanks! but I didn't want it on its landing gear (forgot the rear wheels don't lock in place ) but even sitting on the FP stand with the shortest stalks it sits too high against the others and looks silly.. oh well, looks alright I guess.

love those green kitchen bench tops!

In order to make room for the incoming VF-17D (which completes my Diamond Force display) I moved Gamlin's VF-22 next to the M&M VF-22's..
