Help! Can't finish my Max TV VF-1A Custom

[Deadzone]

I read the instructions for the Chris Beretta head replacement but still can't do it. The big problem is that the hole in the head is not deep enough. Thus, the head sort of sticks out too much and this scrawny neck shows. Am I suppose to just sand down the neck to the size of nub then stick the head on. I hope not. That would mean sanding off a quarter of an inch of plastic. For people who have done the Chris Beretta head replacement please offer help. I'm too close for this custom to look this bad. Thanks.

Is that a jetfire or a reissue....there are some issues with the head fitting reissues.

YOu can either putty up the rest of the neck or get another recast head. Check out Rob's site. He has bot the original and a resculpt whichlook a lot better.

Deadzone, your member 666?

Hello Deadzone,

Welcome to MW!

It might not bother you too much judging by your member name, but I would be damned if I didn't re-register real quick like to get rid of that particular member number. But then again, it might be a source of pride for you.

I have run into the same problem regarding the reissues and Chris Barretta heads. I had to do quite a bit of modification to get it to work properly. It is worth the effort, because you want the head to seat as low as possible, expecially in fighter mode.

Sincerely,

Christopher B)

Will Rob's head fit on a reissue? Also, where is Rob's site. I can't seem to find it.

reissues have different neck mounts.

if you use chris 1s, 1a, or 1d heads on a reissue you will have similar problems.

chris's heads were deisn'ed for jetfires.

you can swap in a jetfire neck mount or sand away!

and yeah, rob's head is waaaaaaayyyyy better than the fatty chris head. even the stock head looks better than that one, only thing it has going for it is the longer antennae

[Deadzone]

I saw Rob's head. What the hell does a stock head look like. Do you mean the one that comes with the regular VF-1A's? I thought the Chris head was suppose to be a recast of that.

[kidkorrupt]

nope.

chris's heads are actually cleaned up version of custom head made by somone from hong kong.

the chris 1A is "fatter" than the stock 1A head when you look at it face first. and the antennae is a lot longer.

g/luck on the rest
