spinner44 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Hi guys! I'm new to the forum! The Maccros design I love most is Fokker's VF-1A and I'm strike by Yamato's 1/48 toys so I was thinking of ordering a VF-1A (still available overseas) and customize it into a S. Is that possible? I am a modelller so repaint- change of head to a recasted one and adding decals (if they are avalilable) are common to me. I would love the toy t play with it so what do you think? Thanks to every one and hello again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 it certainly can be done. a simple repaint of the markings is basically it. then contact rohby(check my sig for the link) and get yourself a S head. most of the areas you have to paint doesn't rub anything during transformation so you don't need to worry about the paint scraping off. do it up and post a pic.

spinner44 Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 Thanks! Just a couple of questions if you don't mind....Would I need to repaint the pilot and put the id next to the cockpit too? Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 i guess you can repaint the pilot but i believe rohby also made recasts of the pilots so you can easily paint your own. if not, you can always try to trade for it. as far as ID on the cockpit, its just a sticker so its no big deal. if you're good with water decals, you can pick up the takatoys decals at either VE(valkyrie-exchange.com) or TM(tmpanime.com). you have to cut them yourself but it gives you enough decals to do 2 valks, plus it looks like its friggin painted. yamato stickers are kind of suckie, the only ones i put on were the one for the FP's(fastpacks). hope that helps.
