WTH, I can see it in my orders at HLJ, but never got the e-mail...

Give it some time. Just got it now.

Welcome back everyone. You know the drill!

Just in case:

LOL These kids look so excited yet they have no clue what those toys are about.

Aren't they the voices for the Freya, Reina and Bogue ? They must know a little bit.

I might have to get another spartan.

Not a video and it's for the CF version with no supers but should be the same:

Yup. They were paired together in the first episode.

I try the gundam kimaris (1/100) spear and not look bad at all because is almost the same blue maybe painted with a gold and gives more medieval knight appearance

I think the YF-25 Paladin wants a jousting match with your SV-262.

Hey anyone with a link to the Transformation Manual in PDF?  Bandai often puts them up on their site but can't seem to find one for this.

Wondering about this too.  I want to keep my owner's manual sealed and read the online version.  I know there was one for the VF-19A but can't even find that anymore.

For the SV-262:

Some kind of precaution about the hands:

Instructions for some of them I think:

Thanks everyone. I'm just glad the C was done.

Those are fantastic! Are there any issues with the length of the fuselage when transforming the B to battroid?

There's no issue with the fuselage. If you just swap the nose there will be issues as the A chest won't fit the D canopy. However,  I swapped out all the parts necessary to make it work. You need to swap out the nose section.  Then you remove that whole chest section by removing a pin on each side of the hinge followed by splitting apart the chest piece via screws and gentle persuasion then putting the lower section of it with the indent on the C and vice versa for the B. Reinstall on each then you're done with the hard part. Just pop and swap the heads and those flip up head covers next to the front landing gear.  If anyone's gonna try it let me know and I'll see what I can do to help.

How different are the other Draken models? Could Bandai just release one more and include stickers so you can make it whichever you prefer? 

Looks like the cockpit, forward intake, wings,and tailfin have a different accent color for each except the twins. Plus you gotta swap the canopy, left thigh, and wing decals.

Also, my HMR collection finally got it's own well deserved shelf...top shelf!

DANGER CLOSE Monster!

I'm gonna call the VF-0C done. The VF-0B needs decals and stickers. I forgot to attach the antenna but I like how it looks without it anyways.

Bonus WIP. Happy Birthday Isamu!  Let's go old girl!

What is the function of the two opening shoulder hatches on the Defender?

They dont seem to have missiles in them.

Ammo for the cannons. Regular or extended.

Piece of cake for the experienced modeler. This was my 1st try at a model anything.There's minimum gluing needed (only to close the gear doors shut). Most of it is held by screws or friction.

Edit: The assembly instructions are in the 1st post if you wanna take a look to judge.

Looks like it may go beyond the VF-1?

From what I can tell they are planning the YF-19,YF-21 & VF-22 possibly the VF-19, not sure about the VF-19 though.

*snip*

I think they're talking about the fold booster compatability.

When do those drones come up for pre-order?

 

They're up already at places like AE, NY, BiginJapan, MyKombini, and Loopaza.

Via Twitter

I think that was the modeller's preference. The main colors for that model looks like light ghost grey which is a bluish color.

In the promo pics for Messer's valk, the eyes on the head is shown as black in fighter mode when it should have been blue. In the case of the VF-31C, it might be a similar mistake (editing maybe?), just on a much larger scale.

What?! Eyes not blue? Preorder cancelled!

Mirage's valk redish? Preorder cancelled!

Chuck's valk might be last and his radar will be shown as round and not oval? Preorder cancelled!

Nope. Just one of each though you need to swap a couple of parts out to make it work.

I will for the photo shoot. I'll have all 3 modes for both of them.  I already was moving all the parts around to see if there would be any rubbing. The only parts I see are the backpack area and shoulder plates. That Tamiya spray is pretty tough. Tougher than the acrylic one.

This piece? This was from the last page. He glued it back on.
