Isn't the G-system kit a reproduction of the Club-M kit? From all the pics I've ever seen the G-System kit has a fewer parts. I've read posts before where builders state parts are missing when it comes to building the G-system kit, as the follow the instruction book, but the parts are casted together. Also, isn't there something about them previously producing the landing gear in resin? I'n not mistaking this for other HK recast shops, but from what I can recall from previous threads and comments posted here. Bring on the comparison. You've just caught my complete attention.

Seriously. We should. I actually own a VF-1S Hikaru Strike Valkyrie and a static fighter VF-1D, both customized by Jung Chao. The colors on the VF-1D are really very nice.

They are.

That has always been the best looking interpretation of the YF-21. I hope Yamato makes it soon.

Here's a Toynami 1/100 VF-1A Blue Roses w/Custom Fast Packs

Are you talking paint job only? If you wanted to sell a repaint, you just might get lucky and break even or get just a little bit more than expected. A highly modified 1/55 is not for everyone. This type of custom is more a labor of love.

Maybe.

Of all the features, I still like the sliding hand feature on the 1/55 better than the 1/48. As far as the 1/55 thanking the 1/48 for anything, not in my book. The 1/48 should be thanking the 1/55 for that it was and wasn't what it is. Without the 1/55 missing so many gimmicks the 1/48 might not have existed without the 1/55 as a customizers forefront. Also there seemed to be an endless supply of 1/55 to customize. From what I have read Takatoku actually produced about 1.2million Valkyries (unkown is how many were actually 1/55s). Plus there were tons of boots and the re-issues...oh yeah, and that weird Strike Valkyrie named Jetfire. Mods to the 1/48 have already begun: - Eternal D's DYRL Hands - Cap'n America's VF-1D Conversion Kit - Various other tidbits. There is still much to be done for our beloved VF-1 not matter what scale or maker is comes from.

If Toynami, decides not to make the Strike/FP armour, it doesn't matter. I've got my set almost completed. It looks pretty nice so far (on my VF-1A BLUE ROSES).

YES and NO. YES, because Yamato is now producing their own variants that people will spend money on only to acquire it. While not spending the time themselves (consumers) to customize and come up with something totally unique. and NO. There is still plenty left to do on the VF-1 sculpt by Yamato. While the platform is nice, it still isn't perfect. Also there are no 2-seater. That alone is one hell of a customizing job to accomplish. On Another Note: 1/55 Is Still the KING!

This clip just reminded me how incorrect the rear landing is on the Yamato VF-1. Great clip by the way. Thanks for sharing.

I've only taking it out the box. I guess I'd better take a closer look.

Has anyone's Getter broken at the torso? I've had my Getter in a flight pose on display for about, as long as I can remember. Then yesterday, I decided I was going to put him away and reposition him back to his orginal standing when packaged. All I can remember is seeing his legs bounce off the floor as I watched in horror. The ball joint located inside the torso bonded to the chest. Damn, this is soooooo F'ed up! Oh well, time to buy another one.

Sands smoothly and easily. It can also be polished to a crystal clear finish.

I'd say, try it on a recasted canopy first. *I'll try to have these in January 2007.

Still waiting on pics.

Pics please.

I think we'd have to get Chris' permission before doing this. I've got a couple of heads for this but without Chris' approval it will not happen. I've also got the heatshield.

Can you demonstrate this procedure with a step-by-step?

25th Anniversary VF-1S My vote is on this. Roy in the true grey colored valkyrie, with Super/Strike pack.

If Yamato does decide to make the SV-51, I really hope they stick to the anorexic look of the mecha. Engorging the SV-51 would only make it look like a forced fed stick model.

This is very bad news. So, could this mean, valks sitting in dry storage in some collectors closet could actually be binding at the hips?

The hands from the 1/48 VF-1 look nice on the 1/55, in either DYRL or TV versions.

In the meantime... This is the dissasembled Toynami VF-1A Max from Series 1. I thought this was going to be a lot tougher. Though most parts can be disassembled, the only parts that can not be pulled apart are the backpack and the upper and lower arm parts. Care must be taken when pulling this apart. Do it slow and steadily. If you don't you'll regret it.

Well actually, the anime color is said to be incorrect, according to SK. The color used on the 1/60 VF-0A CF and Shin are correct and approved by SK. At least we have an almost perfect lineart interpretaion of the VF-0.
