Wow, those look great. Did you use an oil wash of the panel lines?

Mine arrived from Hong Kong today. No special packing just the Chara-works box covered with green paper so it showed up a little crushed. The QC and fit on the Valks is really bad with the fins and arms. Majority of seams are open and uneven, center line of the nose, top of legs, and feet/thrusters. The special Max Zentradi landing gear covers are white not green. Wing stores are glued on and wings do not sweep if stores are mounted. All markings except stripes are decals. Cockpit on the CF VF-1A, Hikaru VF-1J and VF-1S was detached. Canopy and Cockpit, will not fit, on Roy VF-1S detached. One rear landing gear on CF VF-1A broken. Paint missing in spots, over spray on others. Top tab on stands too large to insert in slot on bottom of Valk only fits in the gunpod. Strike fast packs fit well, easy to install/remove and look nice. The Strike versions look better since the fins are folded forward and leg seam is covered with armor. All Valks have a little poster specific to the aircraft. Get them cheap or stay with Doyusha. Best way to describe Vol 1 is almost but not quite. The two Strikes "quality" and the Max Zentradi "cool factor" are the ones to get and the saving grace of the collection.

Try Model Master Acryl French Blue #4659. Used it to make a VF-1S Max looks the same as VF-1A.

None of the markings are on the aircraft. Will it be all stickers???

Thanks for the effort. I remember that there was a similar bad batch of paper problem about a year ago... or was it two. Either way it really hurts the producer when the defect is not discovered until the decals are in the hands of the modeler. Sorry to see you go but it is understood. Edit: Hurts the producer since he expects and assumes quality paper then has to deal with the public out cry and delays in production.

FIX 0034 Gundam GP-03 is in stock at http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/

Dude, Sorry. I am such an arse for the spoiler. A Zero marathon will be a good Birthday. Do you have a big screen to watch it on??? The dogfights look great big.

Thanks for the info. Was worried it fell by the way side with the ring of death killing off X-boxs.

T.V. thanks much, looks like the stand alone Ghost is the first toy of Kissdum. I wish HLJ would get off their vacation... the delay on orders was 1 May now it is 7 May. Is this the Japanese version of Mardi Gras???

Do you have a screen capture? That would be interesting to see.

Are there any plans for this to come out on DVD?

That suit looks great. I hope the story is as good as the visuals.

What has become of the Gundam game that was coming out the for the X360? Everytime look it up in Google find the same old if and there is nothing in Bandai's website about it.

So we will get all the wing stores minus the big air fuel bomb????

Yes, the ebay lurker! I lost out on some 1/6 scale mini-guns the same way. \ Have you tried posting in the Wanted section???

Quite true, excellent point. My wife has no problem with fighter mode. She did marry a pilot so my house is filled with 19 years of collected flight junk as it is.... Her big complaint is the robots. So there has been some compromise.

Will that custom display recreate when Shin pushed the jett all button?

Hobby Fan still has some of the Doyusha VF's if you want to avoid ebay. They are great.

Just like the Man Show. It is called the Man Room. It is where your hobbies and stuff can be displayed but do not spend too much time there.

Why does the site show "trailer not available"???

The repaint is the cheap way to go if you can get a used VF-1S from ebay. The only thing that is hard is polishing the heatshield to remove the black paint so that it can be repainted blue. Used a Q tip, brasso, and an electric drill just put masking tape over the skull on the front. But to be honest if I had the money I'd do the Max VF-1A wing head conversion then all you have to do is paint the arrows before remounting the head.

Yeah whats up with the gun pod??? Looks like the waist chest area pivots forward above the cockpit. Like the old superposables... hope these new ones are about the same size just more posable.

I ordered them from a store in Hong Kong but the price listed below is better. Will let you know if they show or not.

I am sitting at the one year mark on a pre-order/restock. From time to time I write and ask for an update. I did get a VF-4 from them about two years ago but that was it. As long they they do not have your money... it is just a waiting game.

Eugimon's photo just makes me want it more. Thanks for the posts. Those Treads look great.
