Vic Mancini Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 (edited) Those final two Gerwalk mode pics are just beautiful. Can we get some close ups of Yang, (co-pilot), and how he fits in the cockpit?

TheLoneWolf Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Very nic pics, Swoosh! And thanks for the mini-review. It's great to see that Yamato fixed the landing gears and gunpod, but I'm still a little worried about the neck hinge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Random Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Does the standalone FP set come with the extra set and lil' rubber guy? Didn't Yamato say that they fixed the tight joint on the fighter neck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowe Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 The Gerwalk and Battroid modes look sweet in FP. Your pics looks great!!!! Can't wait till mine arrive!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Similar to VF0s, it attach to the leg using magnet, the FAST pack itself dose not hold to the legs very well in battriod mode (it is much heavier the VF0, and more solid), but in the fighter mode the FAST became less easier to fall off due to the rear wing's peg is pluged to this gate, the wings helps keeping it in place, which is good. Thanks swoosh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recon Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 (edited) Im still not really convinced that the the neck/fuselage hinge part has been rectified and replaced with one that has a stronger materials and correct "hole" size to accomodate the hinge. Really need confirmation and pictures on that area, but other than that im quite happy with the fixes done namely: 1) Crooked gunpod fixed 2) Rear left landing gear inability to extend fully fixed 3) Gap at the fuselage area minimised Ohter problems which are not confirmed or are still existent are: 1) Loose shoulder flaps? 2) Reinforced neck hinge? Lastly, what im really displeased abt are those idiot trigger happy yamato factory workers, who enjoy applying excess glues on watsoever areas which pleases them.

doodler7 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 That fold booster looks like my Superman Pen...I should take a pic and post it up...heh. The way the fold booster is attached on to the YF-19 is still pretty weak. You'd figure you're traveling super fast and your craft is held by 4 weak anchor points...the fold booster would snap off based on physics. I think the fold booster should have been made more to cradle the craft than attach to it. ...but i still ordered the boosters just to keep up with the Jones!

The fold booster is not like the FAST packs. It folds space between two points almost instantly. It's like a field around the YF, and it does not push/thrust the craft forward. /geek off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UN Spacy Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 (edited) Swoosh. Love the pictures. Can you post pictures of your gunpod fix. EDIT: Never mind.

Swoosh Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Those final two Gerwalk mode pics are just beautiful. Can we get some close ups of Yang, (co-pilot), and how he fits in the cockpit? I did took some pic of him, but I forgot to upload it to my friend's server... His face looks real funny inside the helmet, they give the helmet clear plastic shield so you can see his face with his glasses, and IIRC, he has full leg(better than Isamu), no problem for him to fit in the cockpit, just need to push his legs in with a toothpick...

Mowe Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 (edited) Wow, that stress mark next to the screw looks scary. Does that part cops alot pressure or because there is virtualy no plastic next to the screw?? Edited July 4, 2007 by Mowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tks for the pics Swoosh, think the main fundamental flaw in the neck/fuselage design is that the screws are placed too close to the edge of the hinge which stressed/weakened the area around it. Another thing, are the mismatch grooves for the transformation part, which puts additional stress on the hinge part again. Other than that, i would rate the Yf-19 to be above that of the Vf-0A Shin, why? less problems, but certainly not no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sh002 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 This would have been cool if this was released with a 1/60 M+ Ghost because I don't think it will be released on its own anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 (edited) Nah they might release the Ghost with the YF-19's heavy arms platform/add on thinghy. That'd be great. And Whats This????

btlmstr Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I got mine this week and love it, no problems so far. The only stress marks are by the grey plastic under the cockpit where there isn't much plastic by the screws. The marks are very minor however and not nearly as bad as the picture shown previously. They were there when I first cracked it open so it must be a factory thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sh002 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 got my fast pack and fold booster parts for the yf-19 but didn't open it since i keep everything unopened. does this come with a battery and is it inside the fold booster? hopefully not.

GutsAndCasca Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 For what it's worth, I still find the term "folddildo" to be amusing. I'd like to get one for my yf19, but alas, my money will probably get spent on ps3 games instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Got 2 Fold Booster sets and 2 two YF-19 w/Fold Boster bundles so far and really happy with them all. Love the LEDs on the Fold Booster. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vermillion21 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Cool pics Swoosh - thanks for posting. While the fast packs & foldildo for the YF-19 look nice, think I'm gonna pass on these ... waiting for the reissue VF-0S. Hopefully with a shoulder fix.

Golden Arms Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 If it hasn't been mentioned before you need 3X 357 silver oxide batteries for the fold booster. It doesn't come with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beware of Blast Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 It was mentioned in the other 2nd version 1/60 YF19 QC thread. It's a new milestone. Yamato's training to be the Halfarse King is now complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
