    That’s who I gave my pre-order thru. Just disappointed to see everyone else receiving theirs without any news as to when ours will ship.

    Has this hit US retailer shelves at all?

    @ShawnThank you much for the reply. It’s a difficult pill to swallow but I’ll just stand him up in the back of the display case and not mess with him again. I’m a huge fan of the Mass Production CF’s, so finding a 1/60 one that wasn’t ridiculously priced, was difficult. I haven’t seen any V2 1/60 VF-1A’s CF’s listed at the usual sources. The good news is that the Yamato 1/48 VF-1A CF Brownie I received this evening from another forum member, is absolutely stunning and in beautiful condition. I’m over the moon about this one, and it’s perfect. @jenius Funny you replied because I watched your V2 -1A video many many times before purchasing this pile (thinking I was purchasing a V2 and not a V1). Now I know what to look for and thank you for this graphic.

    Necro-bump for affirmation I recieved a Yamato 1/60 VF-1A DYRL Brownie today and didn’t realize that I had bought a V1 (due to my own ignorance). I had only seen reviews of the V2 on YouTube, so everything pointed to buying this thing. Boy, what a mistake. To say I’m disappointed is just a massive understatement; this thing is a total turd. Putting it lightly. I guess I’ve been spoiled by the Big 1/48 Yamatos, Bandai DX’s, Chunky boys, and other models. If I look at this thing wrong, it’s going to fall apart. Right out of the box, the right leg fell off due to a floppy/sloppy thruster slider lock, the right wing hinge was broken, the landing light then fell off the starboard wing, floppy foot/exhaust, I didn’t realize that the canopy wasn’t hinged (similar to the HMR’s), the decals had a taped on “rescue me” yellow arrow onto the sheet, the landing gear completely flopping around and not staying put, plastic tires, yellowing gear doors, yellowing missiles, translucent plastic everywhere, screw covers falling apart, NO PILOT, WTF????, and this thing was “Brand New” from a reputable EBay seller. I guess I finally got bit. Hard lesson to learn over $100 USD. I haven’t been able to find a V2 at a decent price, and when I say decent, not $300 decent. Just bummed over this purchase and thanks for coming to my talk EDIT: Part 2… Left foot thruster snapped completely off. Gun snapped off when extending. Stickers have no adhesive quality left. Jeebus, I’ve built countless models in my lifetime, but this ranks right up there with the Metal Slug tank and Palladium RT Models.

    Mine is en route from Fred, and I’m excited since this is only my 2nd DYRL release (I prefer the aesthetics of TV SDFM aircraft). I’ll definitely check the tail fin when it arrives. Now to find a DX Kakizaki

    Today I learned that @jeniusis ScorchedEarthToys Love your YouTube content btw

    With my Hasegawa Regult model, it constantly flopped over, so I used a 1/6 scale figure stand, the type that has the double U-shaped cradle in the groin. Maybe something akin to that

    I have the -1D, -1S, and GBP DX’s. Beautiful pieces for sure.

    Received my -1J last night from BBTS, and I’m pretty darned impressed. There are some small things that I don’t like, such as the chunky stand, landing gear color, floppy rudders, and the minor annoyance of the pilot hands not being on the cockpit control column. But all in all, this thing is fantastic! It definitely has a hefty, quality, feel to it and I’m digging the clear parts also. Very happy with this purchase.

    I prefer the darker brown, like the top photo. I have two Brownies, a Bandai Chunky Monkey CF, and a Kitzconcept CF. The KC version is much too light in color. The Bandai looks nice, although I don’t like the glossy finish.

    This. 10-year old me drew dozens and dozens of brownies in 1985/86. I have the DX TV Hikaru/Roy/GBP’s, but the CF is the missing piece for me.

    Thank you much! I just PO’d it
  14. PNW_Sweetie
    Please pardon my ignorance as I’ve never ordered from them, they’re legit correct?
  15. PNW_Sweetie
    Thank you much for the reply, After receiving two VF’s on the literal slow boat from China, and now with the missing pilot, this might be my last purchase from Kitz

    So my pre-order is thru BBTS If this thing doesn’t come with the pilot, and I’m not really confident that it will, does that mean I’m out of luck even if BBTS’s product description says so? Part of me pre-ordering this thing was because it had an articulated pilot. Hi btw, long time lurker and collector, 1st post here
