I don't even care about the "different" blue discussion until you said the lines are darker due to possibly more layer of paints applied, I think this is actually good to makes the plane looks slightly more realistic.
-
Luckily it is not damaged at all, it shipped along with my other stuff I have ordered, the Kai box was not sitting on the damage side of the package and enough buffer was put in there.
-
-
Package of the JKai arrived, don’t have time to open it yet but the outer box conditions made me worries ....
-
Soon after all official sales closed for the JKai, movie version will be announced, it always works like that.
-
Those 35th Anniversary paint scheme is too far from being a low-vis... I am also a train guy, that scheme also looks too much like a Shinkansen E7 to me :
-
Since the Yamato 1/72, I have every generation of the YF-19 + the Bandai Vf-19 Advance, so I have pretty enough 19s in this scheme, so I am hoping for same real world/low-vis scheme, but I don't remember Bandai ever selling their DX Valk that is not featured in show or game, I think the chance for a Low-Vis version seems low....
-
Mine should be shipped today, my first VF-31!
-
Hope they will release some Low-Vis version, YF or VF or any name they'd like to called it... no mold change is required.
-
Honestly, I am not really interested in this unless they are also making a YF-21.
-
I own both and IMO VF-19 Advance has better engineering, Acadia is more "organic" and closer to lineart while Bandai is more refined and has more "CG" look to it, the side profile of the fighter mode is the best part on the VF-19 Advance, it also doesn't have the drop nose problem with the front landing gear.
-
Never liked the TV show(and re-watched it to confirm XD), mecha are cool but too flashy for me, didn't bought anything, but now I have 31a and 31J Kai on order, can't wait!! May also get a 31C, Mirage is the only character I like in the series.
-
It seems like it will become a lucky draw item after the Dec event completed. I didn't own any VF-31 yet, but I hope I can get the VF-31JKai and the VF-31A.
-
Anything "blinks" will sells these days....
-
I completed this just before Bandai's announcement of theirs... I took a step further and put a second set of LEDs to the shields: https://youtu.be/tu5XN5Ih_lE
-
LED kit are colorless, all 3 Unicorns share the same kit.
-
KO PG Unicorn Phenex from Daiban. All armor are painted, it looks like Titanium Finish or they claim it is similar to the finishing of MG Hyaku Shiki 2.0, they also modified the mold on most of the armor panel to incorporate undergate to prevent sprue mark:
-
IIRC, some minor sanding to the shoulder plug, I didn't modify the connector to the forearm, they are very different in size, and does not align very much, I just leave it unplugged.
-
Mine 7 Swords is original, the GN Sword II Blaster is from a KO MG kit I mod a few years ago.
-
My first Technic set: https://youtu.be/qzoj4LDvl94
-
The text on fig.03 seems says part swap for the rear landing gear on the knee joint, may be it is optional, I am not sure... may be some sort of extension? EDIT: Oh, my bad, it actually said part swapping is not required....
-
Hope this is the case, thx for the clarification!!
-
Despite the landing gear design, you still have to swap parts to "deploy" the landing gear on this DX, this is Bandai's job, and it seems the poseable hand can not store inside the wing. EDIT: False comment.
-
Added some flashing for the main siren: https://youtu.be/No19Bwp0Ny4
-
Thx, too bad there is no sounds with this kit, I also found this set does not includes the main flashing light (all other lights on the roof are flashing or color changing tho), I am planning to get some smd leds and wiring it up myself....
