Swoosh Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Display stand booster and missle problem less noticible on display stand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Lots of Tampo printing. Tails, both wings, heatshield, head. Only a few quick fighter mode pics for now as my lighting here is terrible. Swoosh's pics are far better than mine. Haven't transformed it yet. This is the first Yamato Valk in ages that I don't know how to transform before the release date. Need to actually study the manual. Box is reasonable size for what you get. Two trays, one with SV and weapons, other with display stand. SV is a work of art. No idea about durability yet tho.

One thing to complain is that missle pod (the 4 black one) cannot attached to the wings very well, pretty easy to pop off.... and canopy is not as clear as recent release. more pic in fighter mode: Everything looks beautiful, no stress mark seen yet (0 transformation) Edited August 28, 2007 by Swoosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppy Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 what a beauty! Well one thing they've fixed from the YF19, the gunpod looks straight when attached in fighter mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoosh Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 OK, I am brave(stupid ) enough that I start transform it without looking at the manual.... Gerwalk mode, it can stand without any support!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante74 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Graham & Swoosh, Thanks for taking the time to post pics for us all to enjoy while you could be playing with the SV-51! It's greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twoducks Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 (edited) Swoosh, your pics are awesome! The wings not supporting all that weight 100% straight is kinda meh... but that is one beautifull bird, so who cares. And Graham didn't have a pre-release sample That sucks, now we'll have to wait for his review (and I think he likes to take the time to do them right and not rushed).

wolfx Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Thanks for the awesome pics swoosh. I need to change my pants now. That gerwalk and fighter mode is awesome! The tampo prints are really nice.....especially the one on the cockpit canopy. I kinda expected the wings problem....I just hope its hardy enough to hold the missiles and boosters for long periods of time. I'm afraid that it may snap over time or something.

Auto Pilot Off Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 this is the "sickest" valk ever..... hahahaha very nice man i luv the tampo prints............ esp the gun.. soo long.... YAY!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 (edited) Thanks for the great pics! I cannot wait to get my hands on one, but i know it'll be a ways off, but your shots really help! Are the wings sagging with the boosters bc/ you've got the wings straight? In the anime, it looks like the wings are bent with the boosters equipped.

IAD Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Looks fantastic! Thanks for the pictures, Swoosh! The wings go into gull configuration any time the boosters are lit, but the rest of the time, the wings are straight, even with the boosters mounted. ~Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 kind of sucks about the wings not being able to support the weight of the missiles/pods. it looks great so far but i'll have to wait for a review from someone whos brave enough to transform it first. thanks for the pics. one question, can you extend the head out in fighter mode?
