no problems here w/ fitting the pilot figs in the cockpit, just took me a few secs to get the in... and like somebody mentioned, lots of head clearance... and the hatch snaps shut very nicely...
the backpack w/ FPs on mine are actually more secure than on my VT-1... i can hold it up by the FPs w/out any plastic creaking sound
yeah, those arm armors are a b1tch to remove once you've put them on the valk... and the yellow on the FPs does look a little off (too light compared to the nosecone, not sure though if it should be that way...)
very, very nice...
