Super Poseable VF-17S

[Fly4victory]

Another one in the case, doubt that the Miria VF-17 will see anything other than battroid, but my un-modified VF-17D did get “factory†painted intakes and chest piece.

Other than the gun pod and making the VF-17 attractive in fighter mode guess that is it.

Beautiful work. Way to make a great toy out of a less than average one.

Thanks. Remember that you started all this.

Need to do something about my photography to make this work.

very good job!! I want one now

That looks great! It's too bad about the paint. It sems you gotta mold stuff in color for them to take any kind of wear. The end results were well worth it I'd say! - MT

How exactly did I miss this thread ????

Great work by the way.

[Fly4victory]

Yeah!!!!!!!!! How did you miss this. :lol:

I think the remote control SV-51 made its first flight back then or the new YF-19 had been released.

Something big came along.

Too bad it wasn't the 1/60 monster.

Just did this last night. It really improves the poseability. Thanks for the step by step instructions!

Andy,

Welcome to the VF-17 club. Glad to see this still stirs up interest.

I hope that your work will inspire Bandai to release a VF-171.

Please post pictures of mod.

First i had difficulties to understand why you cut the upper part of the knee. It was to have a double knee joint, right?
