IAD Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 The fourth picture looks much much worse than it is. The flash reflected a bit, but it's not cracked, and I've cycled it again, and it doesn't look any different. The plastic is reasonably thick at each stress point, so... I figure I'll just keep cycling, and keep track of any changes. If something breaks, I'll replace it with milled aluminum, or something. ~Luke
Swoosh Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 quite a number of us who got the SV-51 locally here have the same right wing unable to close fully, duplicated right hinge instead of a left hinge problem. Was wondering why graham mentioned his does not have a hinge problem. did a check on mine, yes it does have the same right hinge instead of a left hinge What abt you swoosh, you have the same problem? Yes, I have the same problem, but I will just leave it like that, I am not interested to close the wings in any mode...
Swoosh Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) haha, hidden feature! i'm not talking like a revoltech but something more simple like this.... Yes, it is simple: Just don't have a fixed pose hand for the trigger finger thing... Edited September 1, 2007 by Swoosh
Swoosh Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 That turning/back/side kick? I don't think that can be done, a front step kick instead may be.... Alright, I was wrong... This can be done too
Wicked Ace Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I want to order one of these. . . . . . and send it to Dobber's house with a note attached, saying, "please hurry up and paint -- thank you."
Ignacio Ocamica Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Thanks for all the pics!!! Makes it easier waiting until my SV-51 arrives
eugimon Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Alright, I was wrong... now I know what to do with that bust vf-0a arm I have laying around.
Scream Man Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 ugh... i got jury duty next week, starting monday. Hopefully I wont get selected so that I can be back at work to get my 51!

During jury selection (called voir dire where I'm from), just admit to being a grown man who still plays with toys -- you'll be dismissed from the jury pool fairly promptly.

Mowe Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) Worth the wait for sure. There seem to be some minor faults, they should be able to address them with the next issue. Just think of it as a delay release. Macross Toy Collector's Dilemma... Stress marks VS. Great poses Man! should I buy this beast or wait for a second edition?... Edited September 1, 2007 by Mowe
Dante74 Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Isn't it weird that Nora's SV-51 isn't up for pre-order yet? I thought it was supposed to be released in october?
Wicked Ace Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Isn't it weird that Nora's SV-51 isn't up for pre-order yet? I thought it was supposed to be released in october? Maybe the price of gold paint has Yamato pushing back the release date.
Macross73 Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 i thinks its better that they take their time. essentially nora's will have to have some corrections now that there are stress marks being found as well as the reversed wing joint

Scream Man Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 i doubt we'll see Noras before November....
IAD Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Another four transformation cycles, still no visible progression of the mark, and no others have shown up. I will say that from a design standpoint, they could have put some pretty good-sized fillets behind the body/wing-support hinge, without affecting the transformation. This would eliminate the stress riser created by the sharp edge. Actually, I might do that with a spot of epoxy, or CA + glass microballons. ~Luke
wolfx Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) This can be done too You forgot to angle down the gattling guns on the hips into firing position.....if it even can be done? Edited September 1, 2007 by wolfx
ikhii Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) Just got mine yesterday. Awesome 'little' black bird. Didn't transform it yet, will wait for Graham to show some vids. I have the same case where wings are not folder at the same level. The build in fighter mode is solid. Nothing to complain about. Booster adds weight to the wings and it feels like it will break apart. My right landing gear door don't close so tight. The Stand is nice, love the entire package. I like the detailing. The thing that i wish yamato could do is really look into the QC. All these problems are not what we really wanted to see. It is as if they think customers won't mind and will just go with it even though some of them are perfectionist like myself. I wish everything could be perfect and there isn't anything to report but the fact is, there is something wrong with every valk that i've bought. I just wish Nora will not have this problem. Just fix it. No excuse! Anyway, i would really like this paint job. Especially on Nora. Anyone has any idea if this rare bird is coming out? :blink: I DIG the Boosters more than SV-51 Edited September 1, 2007 by ikhii
Ryoma Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Wow the VF-O looks amazing...does anyone know where these pics come from?
Lonewolf Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 That VF-0 is really nice. NOra's SV-51 is really growing on me, maybe I'll get that one instead of Ivanov's.
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 From the looks of it... that company that made the VF-0 with the boosters is the same company as the VF-22S conversion kit: http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...c=21955&hl=
Scream Man Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 interesting that that zero is also missing the conformal fuel tanks...
eugimon Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 interesting that that zero is also missing the conformal fuel tanks... it's based off of this:
Scream Man Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 design prototype for the ghost boosters?
Sumdumgai Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 the one in the lower right of that pic looks like a VF-1/0 wanna-be ghost. When it grows up it'll be a VF-1.
Swoosh Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Wow the VF-O looks amazing...does anyone know where these pics come from? All model came from an association named VF1-Riders...
Swoosh Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 (edited) Not sure if they have a dedicated web site, but I found this... http://J-Modeller.Net VF1-Riders page Edited September 2, 2007 by Swoosh
Aegis! Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 So, it seems Yamato golden rule still applies: wait for 2nd (QC-fixed) Release at all costs! I seriously wanted to get one of these, but I´m not risking my $200+ if it´s not 100% QCP free.
Swoosh Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 You forgot to angle down the gattling guns on the hips into firing position.....if it even can be done? oh, my bad.... it can rotate 360 degree..
Ryoma Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 You can find VF-1 in pass years page.. What`s pass years page?
