3 / 4 of my VF-1s's have floppy heads, and I bought none from Tisinc A little bit of epoxy and shortening of the screws seemed to magically fix that It's more of a build issue at Yammies Factory Imho.

Does that means Graham's seen the Yammy 1/60 YF-21 already? Tease

Carefully trimmed decals with a good setting solution are a start. I use Mr. Hobby decal set and haven't used anything else since. After all your decals are set, cover the valk in a thin clear coat and your decals will be there for ages

Tisinc99 has never let me down. Weird how other people got shafted by them O_o

When these suckers start coming out in MG I'm going to skip over the Good guys and collect the bad guys only lol. They actually look cooler

MInute they go for pre-order I'm getting them damnit. The new car can wait

There's a few milliputs but most hobby shops should stock milliput regular and milliput fine-grain. fine-grain may be a lil bit more but it works better for detail work and what-not. MIlliput actually cures hard and is sandable. Green stuff will be flexible even after curing and is a batty to sand. So stick with millput har har har. Even the regular Milliput is superior to green-stuff for this purpose.

It's looking good, though I gotta admit it's looks a little less intense than what Ryuji's doing since she'd butt-naked har har

Don't use the green-stuff from Games Workshop, it's far too flexible after cured and is a batty to sand. For filling you can never go wrong with Milliput. Get the fine-grain version, mix up a small batch, apply and let cure for a day. MIlliput rocks because i've never had trouble with it bonding to anything and it sands down smooth. Plus, you get a crapload more milliput per dollar than the over-priced green stuff

You can still get em at BBTS, don't know how long though

How big will its box be?

1. Looks better than the 1/72 in all 3 modes 2. Stable in all 3 modes 3. No assembly or design problems that require effort on the User Side to correct (ie DIY mods/repairs, ordering new parts) 4. No sloppy paint apps or off-center tampo printing If the 21 can't at least accomplish the 4 points listed above, then we'll have been yamatoed. And don't worry about the detachable limbs. If they're made of cheap Thin ABS plastic like on other yamatos they'll surely be detachable ......

A Yammy VF-1d would be so easy to make as Moscato has already proved (though if yammy made it we'd have a stiff canopy instead of a semi-soft one) Sadly, I'd only buy the YF-21, VF-11 and VT / VE

I dogged the LV2 until I owned one, then I saw how similiar the scheme was to Vietnam Era F-4 Phantom pics and started digging it. Now the LV2 is one of my favs O_o

All the VF's are pretty much the same now. Honestly, I like every paint scheme. Well... Except for the Angel Birds one.... I'm getting a 1d kit soon and will convert the Angelbirds into a custom 1D instead of having that eye-sore on my shelf.

Collection Updated. Finally got my Low Vis 1 when My Fiance made the final move to the US. (She's still wondering if I was happier to see her or the LV1 in her suitcase)

They are a little more careful after listening to the crowd and making the Kakizaki 1A

Aren't they releasing a 25th anniversary VF-1 this year?

If my white yammies start to yellow in 5 years I'll just mask the colored parts and paint the yellowed parts white

Speak of the devil, HLJ's back on Sept release again Yay for MW'ers *damn double post*

seen a few things online for pre-orders on Ebay from HK'ers, so ya never know ....

The testors, Italeri and Tamiya are like all the same kit/mold in a different box As a matter of fact just about all of Tamiya's 1/72 line are repackgaged italeri kits, down to the instructions and decals It's a great thing, except for that unlike Hasegawa Italeri Sucks and makes me have to get my own pilot figures The X-02 really does remind me of the YF-23. Biggest Give-away for me is the way the X-02 folds down it's vert stabilizers when goin supersonic, just like the Real World YF-23. Tis a Shame the YF-23 didn't beat out the raptor It's like the loser planes just LOOK cooler. YF-23 looks way better tha the raptor, and even in the latest JSF competition, I was rooting for the unconventional delta-wing X-32 Guppy over the F-35, despite the X-32 performing like doo doo on it's vertical take off tests

Let's hope SK got his crazy out on Kissdum and leaves the non-drugged part of his creative brain juices for a good Macross Story

If you plan on setting them on fire I'll gladly send you some wooden logs with free shipping and a pre-paid postage box to put all your valks in to send back to me

1/35 MG Labors FTW! Still very poseable and cool..cept for the very limited line of just ingrams and griffon. I wanted to see Ingram Econs, helldivers, etc
