  1. Sweet pic!
  2. Plenty of 0S's to be found here in Japan.
  3. Not having things that could have been easily implemented like an opening cockpit is just Bandai cutting corners.

    All I required from the beginning was for the HMR version to be bigger than the VF-1, which it is. Scale perfection would be nice but since it's non-scale anyway, it's not a dealbreaker.
  5. Got notice for mine. $119 shipped. A far cry from the $160 before tax and shipping Bandai wants for purchasing domestically.
  6. It's on my WWM 25 and Max YF-29 which were purchased from Japanese stores. Addendum: Looked through a few boxes and that sticker goes all the way back to at least the reissue Alto 29 and 31AX releases, which didn't get the international treatment.

    No math there. Just HMR fanboyism.
  8. Will be out of town for a few weeks so mine's staying in PW for a bit. Will have to live vicariously through everyone else's pics.

    Bottom pic definitely more accurate depiction of the height difference between the two.
  10. On the Frontier line, the 25 series probably is the easiest to get the shoulders blocks to sit flush with the rest of the fuselage. The 29 is a bit harder, and I find the 27 to be the worst of the lot. Especially when you're trying not to scratch the paint, which will come off if you breathe on it too hard. But in general Bandai valks have always been inferior to Yamato/Arcadia when it comes to parts all fitting together.
  11. I did the same thing to a small bottle of wash recently when I opened it and the cap was loose. Wash was all dried up.
  12. All I have time to do until mid-November.
  13. When have I ever not done this? Looking good! I'll make the landing gears white on mine, but all other work will have to wait until I come back from Japan.
  14. LOL yep! It's the easiest way to work on it, after all.
  15. I broke my Durandal.
  16. I can't unsee the sloppy job Bandai did on the canopy frame now. Welp time to break out the paint for more touchups...
  17. Why does it still have the YF designation after so many variants have been made? Surely it's a production VF by now, even if limited?
  18. Blame Garmony Hold for that.
  19. Probably additional sensor units like the kind seen on the VF-1.
  20. Red lights on the underside of the central intakes. You see them for like 1.5 seconds when Hikaru banks away from the camera in FB2012.
  21. Way too skinny, among other things wrong with that figure.
  22. Don't forget to paint on the red lights on the underside! Or whatever they're supposed to be.
  23. I told them "No more Exia releases please." I hope they understood me.
  24. I want those illuminated background plates of Sheryl and Ranka.
