DatterBoy Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 (edited) Hi John, According to the instructions you posted, I don't have part 7. The rest are accounted for. :Dat Edited November 13, 2005 by DatterBoy Quote
MecGojira Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 (edited) Just got my kits today. I am missing part 7 from both my colored and vanilla kits. Thanks for noticing, I probably wouldn't have. Edited November 13, 2005 by MecGojira Quote
xstoys Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 Hi John, I am missing part 7 (x2) as well for my colored & non-colored set. Please add me to your shipping list for 2 of part 7 (colored & non-colored). Thanks, xstoys **IMPORTANT**I just yesterday discovered that I forgot to include the RIO console (part 7) in about 20 of the conversion kits which I mailed-out. According to my logs, the following people should have part 7 missing from their kits: -Zeta Otaku -Darkon -aaajin -TheFrenchOne -Gabe Q -min -Mech Gojira -Roy's Blues -Sundown There may be others as well. Please check your kits to see if you have this piece. If indeed it is missing, please post here in the thread, and I will begin mailing-out consoles starting Tuesday to all those affected. My sincerest appologies for my ineptitude in this matter. 344390[/snapback] Quote

Sephiroth Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 Just checked my kit and found that part 7 is missing as well. Quote
Kurt Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 John, I am missing this part in the kit for The Lone Wolf. Kurt Quote
wickedpr1nce Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 i thought something didn't look right with my cockpit. there was an empty space on mine when i compared picks to mechamaniacs. john... i'm missing this as well... 2 of them since i have 2 orders. checked the other and it's missing. both in vanilla colors.

Sundown Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 Yep. I'm missing the RIO console on my pigmented kit, like the Cap suspected. One of the back antenna fins also happened to break off, presumably in shipping... so, a total noobie question. What sort of glue should I be using on this sort of resin? Quote
captain america Posted November 15, 2005 Author Posted November 15, 2005 Cyanoacrylate (Ca) glue. Available from any good hobby shop or hardware store. Quote
hirohawa Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 (edited) That's Crazy Glue for the common folk. Cyanoacrylate (Ca) glue. Available from any good hobby shop or hardware store. 344982[/snapback] Edited November 15, 2005 by hirohawa Quote
Majestic Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 Note that CA glue can come in differing thicknesses (don't know the designations off the top of my head) from Hobby stores. I prefer the medium-thickness stuff, which won't run as much, if at all, compared to your common super glue. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 Also there is slow-curing and quick curing types, as well as, gels. Quote
Roy's Blues Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 I am missing part number 7 as well. Quote
Gabe Q Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Yes, I am missing part number 7. Thank you. Quote
TheFrenchOne Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 i have quickly checked the content of the kit ( i am currently at work ) and will confirm asap if parts are missing but what i have already seen is that canopy is broken ( a small clip of plastic is missing on the left side ) Quote
min Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Like you wrote, I'm also missing the #7 part. Quote

captain america Posted November 16, 2005 Author Posted November 16, 2005 I have checked it, no part is missing in mine 345342[/snapback] Hi Matthieu. Too late; I think I already shipped-out a new dashboard to you As for the little nub/hinge on the canopy, that can easily be fixed by gluing a small piece of styrene rod where the nub should be; I did that on my demo kit and it worked like a charm.

TheFrenchOne Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 I have checked it, no part is missing in mine 345342[/snapback] Hi Matthieu. Too late; I think I already shipped-out a new dashboard to you Sorry for the late check i was on holidays for 2 weeks when the parcel arrived. I can resent it directly to you or to another MWer if needed. As for the little nub/hinge on the canopy, that can easily be fixed by gluing a small piece of styrene rod where the nub should be; I did that on my demo kit and it worked like a charm. 345369[/snapback] I will do that ( as soon as i get the time to work on the conv kit ) Quote
Smut Peddler Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 What are the chances of a 2nd run ? Quote
EXO Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 What are the chances of a 2nd run ? 0 to none... but someone else is working on a different kit. Quote
Smut Peddler Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) 0 to none... but someone else is working on a different kit. At least there is some hope, I was over seas on duty when the original run was created and missed out on them =/ Edit: I'd kill for a VF-1D custom Edited January 27, 2008 by Smut Peddler Quote
dizman Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 What the VF-1D custom parts? Its custom parts to attach to a 1/48 VF-1 to turn it into a VF-1D. You have to paint them and these days they are hard to find anyways. Aparently someone (nighmare before macross I think) is making a new and better kit for a 1D custom. Quote
captain america Posted February 3, 2008 Author Posted February 3, 2008 Wow, I didn't think this thread still existed Quote
Wicked Ace Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 Wow, I didn't think this thread still existed People like your stuff. Congratulations on coming back from the dead, BTW. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 (edited) yeah man, congrats on your efforts John. I still have mine unbuilt, but that's coz i'm lazy designing my custom colour for the custom. Edited February 3, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
jorawar_b Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 Capt, still have your kits, great work..... maybe you can make a 1/48 elint kit...lol Quote
