I wonder if you could use this conversion on the 1/48 resin VF-1 strike fighter kit, any ideas?

Hey guys, for all group buy guys, I have given Henry the heads up, this is what you do. 1. Go to the www.hobbyfan.com 2. You must register your info with them, if you have bought fromt hem before, than its all good. 3. Find the 1/48 resin VF-1 kit 4. order the kit, then go to check out 5. Please make sure your mailing info is all 100% 6. Then the coupon code I have e-mailed you or will e-mail you once you contact me, you will put that into the box, from that and the list I gave Henry he will know you are the group buy guys. so that is 10% + 15% = for a total of 25% off the kit. 7. You have one week to order the kit, if you do not, then you will not get the 25% off, I was told by henry that 20% is required to put down on the kit and they will be ready around christmas. 8. if there is any questions please e-mail me ( jorawar_b@yahoo.com )or Henry at ( henry@hobbyfan.com ). 9. The group buy is pretty much closed because there will be enough kits for the guys who have put their names on the list, I don't know if henry will have more, but if there are a few people interested I will ask him.

Here is another update: These where the questioned asked: 1. I need to know if the recast is going to be molded > from the original or the recast? > > 2. If it is recasted off of a recaste have will it > have shrinkage, it will be difficult to build the kit > if there is a lot of shrinkage. Some of the parts are > thin enough on the original that any 3rd gen casting > will have the potenital to be paper thin. > > 3. finally get into production remember to address the > problem of the right leg pieces being shorter than the > left leg and the left fastpack being shorter than the > right Here are you go from henry: It is going to be mold from the original. It will have some shirnkage, but not much. It depends on the skill of the caster. Even recast off a original, if the caster skill is not good. There will be more shrinkage. As for the question 3 Is this a known problem with the original kit? Henry Hope this will help joel, please guys feel free to ask more question before you send your money, I want everyone to be happy.

Henry said everyone in the group purchase needs to complete the order form with in one week, after that he will close the order section of the 1/48 kit. Joel I will get on it asap.

Hey guy I need the following people to e-mail me at jorawar_b@yahoo.com. 1. Jorawar_b (2) 2. THOR 3. totallyrobot 4. godane79 5. yman1437 6. Viceland (2) 7. Dean 8. Ranger565 9. Jole727 (2) 10. Darklord4 (2) I need to give you the group discount info or coupon and I need your e-mail address to give to henry to hold the kits for our 25% off. And Dean, you just need to put a down payment and pay the rest off by X-mas....so don't worry to much....lol no disrespect to you. Thanks once again guys for helping the group buy get to this point. Please e-mail me with all concerns so I can forward them to henry.

okay good news everyone will be able to get their kits, talked to henry, they will be out by X-mas. I will contact everone to make sure they want the kits and then give them the info on ordering it.

more good news and more bad news, here is th email from henry' Hello Robert Give me sometime to setup the link. I will email you a coupon code along with the link to the product. I have confirmation they only have 4 of them. But will be producting the rest of the kits in about 2 months. So it will be Xmas before you guys will receive them. Is this ok? This is for the Non-G-system version. Henry So I am assuming that he means the rest of the order, so for you guys who still want it at the discount price, I hope X-mas would be fine, by then we might get more people. I did e-mail him to make sure.

I will try to bargan with the other companies to see if they can get us more kits. I just e-mailed e2046 to see if they can get us more kits at the hobby fan discount. Also if there is anyone on MW that can recommend more sources please help, or maybe if someone has the original and would be willing to do a recaste it would also help out.

Okay guys, we have good news and bad news. They have only 6 kits on hold by the supplier. That is the good news, The Bad news is that we have to figure out how to order these without making anyone mad. So please let me know whats up, I do want one for myself, so that would leave 5 kits. So if we went in order, correct me if I am wrong, it would be the following people to be fair: 1. Jorawar_b 2. THOR 3. totallyrobot 4. godane79 5. yman1437 6. Viceland If anyone of the 6 change their minds please let me know. I just hope I do not hurt anyone, I have asked henry to see if they can order more. If there are recasters please let me know so I can ask them, I heard HWR MKII, was the man to talk to....lol

here is an update on the first kit option: Jeffery do we still get the discount on the first kit, the G-systems? "Hello Robert Most likely we will not be able to get the G-system Version. The requirement for G-system version is high, and they charge a premium for there products. We can offer you the same discount for the G-system kit. But the kit itself is about $40 more." Henry So do you guys want me to press him for the G-system or should we shoot for the cheaper kit? Your call guys, I would go with the cheaper system. I have also asked him for an answer on the if the cheaper kit can be made asap.

I have the resin YF-19 with the weapons and it comes in a two seater., its cool. I like the two seater version.

what about a B or a D

This my friend is a work of art, good job.

VF-18s Hornet, that was some pictures from the hobby fan websit I had on my account I erased them because you can see the kit on their site. Here is an update from Jeffery: This is Jeffrey. Henry is off on vacation thru the entire Labor Day weekend. He will return Tuesday and give you updated status. Base from my information about those 1/48 VF-1 Strike. We have to different supplier whom can supplier us with your demand. But each supplier is offering a different price tag to it. 1st option. Cast by G-System. Which is the photo you are seeing now at Hobbyfan.com I belive. That will require a new retail price increase update even for the 15 sets runs. Approximately 30-40 dollars more per kit. Feature die cast landing gears. And a super clean casting works. If you have purchase G-System made kit before. You will know how clean their works is. Also a nice heavy duty box with color prints on cover. Decal and Metal Sheet part included. They will start production from a NEW, I mean NEW mold. 2nd option. Which is priced base from the currently listed pricing on Hobbyfan.com. (plus the discount henry is offering of crouse). This other company who can only provide us with limited sets of 7 currently. Because the sillcon mold is still available. And that is the maximum sets quoted can be pulled from the exisiting mold. note: the landing gear is cast by some special harden resin (not Diecast). Base from my judement. Their cast work usually score a 7-8 out of 10 points from my book. Including all the metall sheet. and decals. Without a fanncy box though. That is some of the information I have for your consideration until Henry returns. Thank you, Jeffrey hobbyfan.com So guys if they can get this, I would like go with the first option (extra money) . But if you get the cheaper kit, you can build it and not feel so bad as if you had an original and its easy ont he pocket book. please feel free to add your opinion's. I have a feeling that the cheaper one will make more sense because first the discount and second your not worried about the kit and actually build it. And maybe we can find someone to recast the metal gear.

The payment will be between you and hobbyfan.

e-mailed Henry and now waiting for a response.

Hey bro thanks for the heads up, if anyone knows of other issue please go ahead and post them, I will e-mail Henry before we give him any money about all the issues and request.

Hey bro, just go up about three post. "This is how it works: There is a minimum order of 10 kit before production starts. Once production start there is no cancellation. A 20% deposit will be required at the time of production. It will take approx. 2 months for the product to arrive after production have started. You may check the order progress, or cancel any requests from your "My Account" section.You can get started by visiting www.hobbyfan.com." Just go to there website and register for an account then go to 1/48 post and put it on your watch list and if you want just e-mail them about the MW group buy and make it attention to Henry, once I get the okay from him, then I will let everyone know and give henry a list of people in on the group buy and once I get everyones e-mail address, I will also forward them to him.

I have gotten a few e-mails on this, if you want to order a kit from hobbyfan by yourself, then go ahead, I don't know if they will give you a break on one kit. Now if you want to get in on this group buy, you do not need to ask me for permission, just go ahead and post a response with your name and how many kits you want. Like i said before, once henry lets me know that they will be casting the kit, I have included instructions on what to do on their web site. I will also forward him the list and e-mail address of the people that are in the group buy. So once again if you want to get in on the group buy, please feel free to leave a post and I will update the list. I welcome all on the MW forum to get in on this, this is a group project and not jorawar_b ( my name is Bob) project. Thank you Bob

Yeah I can imagine using systems like that out in the battle field, could you imagine an imotional machine gun....lol I like the new BDU, I was thinking about going back into the service, I wonder if we can copy the new camme design onto the mecha's Also I have the 21, I wonder if someone can make me a 22 canopy

You know what, I am such a retard, It is the 21, what is the difference between them?

anyone have a copy of the instructions on how to build the YF-22 model kit?

I am open to trying anything with the fiber optic's, I was thinking of using it if I buy the 1/48 vf-1 model kit.

Hey guys henry e-mailed me an update on how to order the kit, I have not been given an updated on if it will be made yet. "We are excited to bring you the news about our new model requesting system. This is a chance to request production of an old model. This is how it works: There is a minimum order of 10 kit before production starts. Once production start there is no cancellation. A 20% deposit will be required at the time of production. It will take approx. 2 months for the product to arrive after production have started. You may check the order progress, or cancel any requests from your "My Account" section. You can get started by visiting www.hobbyfan.com." So for the rest of my fellow brothers on MW that want this, please take the time out to follow the directions of at least requesting the kit. If I can get a few more people, I will try to press Henry for a bigger discount. I have told him that if this goes well, I might be able to get more of the other kits from his web site. Once agian, I thank everyone for helping me out.

Guys I am sorry for bringing this question up, but I have the toynami blue and shadow alpha's. The beta fighter anyone know for sure what color they will come in, I don't want to buy the red and green because I have the 1/48 imai kits, only unless the beta will come in a 4 colors
