This is pure evil

It's awesome, congrats for owing such a great custom!!!!

Nice scheme, looking good so far!!!

From my experience, you don't need to clearcoat the whole VF-27. Only the lavender detail from the nosecone to prevent scratches when transforming it. All the markings adhere just fine to the plane, I have not suffered any issues after numerous transformations. The really important step to avoid touching the nosecone with the chest is to keep the nosecone folded but also SLIDED down when you transform it. I had to touch up the nosecone with a mix of white, blue and red paints to match the lavender because I transformed it wrong the first time. After that I used Glo-cot (the argentine version of Future, done by Johnson&Son) and it's holding up really well. The Glo-cot is shinier but it's hardly noticeable. Do you still have the same address you pm'd me last year? Cause I finnally found 1/72 Alto's decals so I'm gonna mail them to you.

The arm transformation is very interesting. The arms slide front and back and rotate in and out, very clever. I like Yamato's transformation better but this is a whole new approach.

Got mine!!! Thank you so much for helping us Graham!!! Now I have to perform some surgery

Thanks for that scan!! Bigger resolution needed

Apart from the different shaped nosecone, it's very similar to Yamato's v2 1/60 It's difficult to perfect what's almost perfect I'm leaving the door open for the shoulder issue critics!!!

That show at Troubador was with Me First and the Gimme Gimme's, must have been a hell of a fun show!! (Note to myself: visit LA more often!!!) Let me know about your band so I can check it Been listening non stop to Another Damn Disappointment latest CD "Relentless" before every surf session. Great punk band!!! Song "Rotten" if anyone want's to check...

Old punker Greg Hetson (also Circle Jerks guitarist)!!! And if NOFX's guitarist was Melvin please tell me you were singing with/for Punk Rock Karaoke Steve Soto and Derek O'Brien were also there??? How I envy you

El Hefe or Eric Melvin ? They toured South America this past February and I got to see both shows in Argentina. The first show was top notch but the second show (private show for 200 peolpe) was f u c k i n g awesome. NOFX is my all time favorite band, I was very lucky being able to hang up with them a couple times!! Great to know other MW members are into punk like me

Hahahaha!!!! Thanks for sharing

That's the problem!!! I was pushing the nosecone (without noticing) causing it to slide up before unlocking the chestplate when transforming it back to fighter. Thanks for your help!!! Me and my VF-27 are friends again

I use brushes, the same ones for painting model kits

That's the part I'm having trouble with. The damn chest doesn't let the nosecone slip under it!!! I really fell like a moron 'cause when I go from fighter to battroid I have no dificulty getting the chestplate over the nosecone. I try to copy the process when I go back, but it's like the sidebars get stuck (I do flip the neck plate up) and the chestplate rests against the nosecone before getting unlocked I'm serious when I say that it's the first VF that's giving me a great headache. I have no trouble with the YF-21 or the SV-51, but I'm not having the same rewarding experience when I transform my VF-27 as others have!!!

Agree with you, not a deal breaker but I don't like them

It's not that they're extremely small, they're extremely THIN That's why they look off.

I'm having a really hard time transforming my VF-27 back from battroid to fighter. I can't avoid touching the nosecone with the chest and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong (I'm unlocking the head and neck cover). I scratched the lavender paint, fortunately I touched it up and managed to match the color,

Guess it's going to be my first toynami product It looks very good, going to display it with my 1/100 Yamato König Monster (also getting Bandai's 1/100 Hi-Metal VF-1 and YF-21 for the same reason ) I still want 1/60 enemy mecha though!!!!!! And articulated Zentran soldiers like the ultra limited T-Rex ones!!!!!!

War Machine is going to be so awesome!!!

Great pics troyness!!!! At least we all own 2 of the better toys out there. We were really close to own 4

+1!!!! VF-11 Drone for the win!!!!

I like fighter and gerwalk modes the best Something is off in battroid mode. There's too much space between the intakes and the chestplate, the torso is elongated. It has Vader feet For the price it's a good company for my 1/100 Yamato König Monster!!! Yamato's new 1/60 VF-1's are king though.

There were three versions of this toy: Ver 1: Mac Plus YF-19 with the infamous tab B. A tab that broke very easily when you separated the neck/front fuselage. This toy had the tailfins put on the wrong leg (left on the right and viceversa). Ver 1.5: Mac Plus YF-19 with revised stronger tab B and tailfins placed on the correct leg. Ver 2: the game edition VF-19A Ravens Scheme. It also introduced a revised sculpt in the knees to cover the mechanism but it resulted in a less posable leg. It's a good toy with a design that shows it's age. Personal critique: the paint rubs of very easy, be extremely careful when handling it. Other than that it's built like a tank.
