agr33 Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 To those of you who have already gotten your kits ...i have a question. do you think that the supposed white parts on this kit are just a little too yellow? what do you guys think or did i just get a messed up batch from hasegawa? I ordered three and they are all the same. Quote
HWR MKII Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 Mine looks like yellowed plastic too. The plastic is also very soft and almost vinyl like.Other than that the kit is falling together like a dream. Its a snap fit to boot. I never thought id build a HASEGAWA snap kit. a little liquid cement on the seams and bam its done. The seams are good too they clean un very easily compared to the VF-1 battroid. Quote

agr33 Posted May 5, 2006 Author Posted May 5, 2006 it's good to know that the kits falls together so great. did you paint the white parts and if so what color did you use glose white? Quote
HWR MKII Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 I havnt got anywhere near painting yet. Im still figuring out how to get the tail fin assembly swappable so i can go between boster and no booster. I also fit the wings from a fighter kit onto it so the wing weapons can be put on. I just need to get some pins for it now Quote
Less than Super Ostrich Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 the polystyrene is a little off-white. Doesn't matter since most will paint it anyway, correct? Quote
Jinnai Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 It looks more tan to me than anything else. I like it. On another note, is anyone surprised about the absence of minus mold decals in this kit? Quote
HWR MKII Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 I usually paint the verniers on my valks anyway so i dnt use the minus decals. Quote
Valk009 Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 Got mine finally last week Although I am not a model pro, I must say that this kit is far easier than previous Hasegawa VF-1 Battroid kits. Honestly, it is getting closer to a Bandai MG kit! Btw, those tabs that you have to cut off...does it mean that Hasegawa will soon release the armour for the VF-0 and have now already incorporated the pins in the Battroid kits? Quote
Graham Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 The July 2006 Hobby Japan magazine scans (just added to the main site), have a great 4 page photo spread on the Hasegawa 1/72 VF-0S Battroid kit. Graham Quote
