Didn't IHP also make removable full armor for the VF-11, or am I thinking of somebody else?

Graham

Yep, they did a removable armour too but I am not that lucky. The variable VF-11C was already very difficult to come by.

This is the only picture I could find. Will post some more pics of the actual kit later on tonight when I get home!

Will commence with the project this weekend and should be ready in a week's time. Kits will be shipped out before the X'mas postal shipping deadline!

I don't suppose it comes with the FAST Packs?

I've got the full armor version, but no fast packs.

Wait a minute....you mean they made a full armor kit to go along with this 1/100 tranformable kit!? If so, it would be super cool to get the full armor for this recast too. I'd definately spring extra for it....hint hint.... :rolleyes:

I had to pull a lot of strings and use all my connections to get hold of this kit, to bad the owner does not have the armour for this kit.

However, I do know someone on the forum, who has the kit as he showed pics of it a while back...hmmm, not sure though if the person will part with it for recasting ;)

was just wondering if there were any updates on the project and if the full armor was going to be casted and made available as well. :D

PM'ed you Dax415!

Btw, for those who paid for their kits already...well, they are on its way and should be by your doorsteps just in time for X'mas!

Just got mine today.

Holy heck is it ever small!

And it looks not nearly as intimidating as the VF-4... Meaning, I might actually build it sometime this decade!

Thanks again!

Has anyone started to build this kit?

I have. This kit has some issues, most of which I'm pretty sure are the fault of the original sculpt, but a few seem to be because its a recast. First and formost, the recast polycaps just don't work at all for me, but luckily I've got enough Kotobukiya sets to compensate.

The other glaring problem I've run into is that the head just does not fit in fighter mode. I had to remove a good amount of the shoulder blocks and reshape the back of the head to even get a decent fit. Not to mention the shield is just completely the wrong size, shape(I'm prety sure its just a recast 1/144 Bandai shield), and positioning for fighter mode. Did the folks at IHP ever even transform the thing? There are a number of other little minor fixes I had to do as well...but they elude me at the moment...

Those issues asside, it looks great in Battroid mode. And after I redo all the joints(proper hinges for elbows and knees), give it some actual hip joints(that paper thin resin bar just wont do), and make the fast packs interchangeable, I suspect it'll be a pretty damn good VF-11 :)

Mine just came. I was thinking of locking it in gerwalk mode as I have 2 wave batroids. Any opinion on how the Wave kits would look next to this?

So this kit is ready to ship? I'm sorta interested in grabbing one to stash away for once I have more resin experience... but I just payed for Cap's Tomahawk and the new Yamato YF-19....
