trueblueeyes Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 (edited) Hi all! Haven't been around for a while, but I finally have some free time. I'd like to start building some of the kits I have bought but I need some help. Can someone please take a look at this page on Carl's site and help me figure out all the option parts (P-Caps, etc.) that are needed to build the IHP VF-4: IHP VF-4G. Has anyone built this kit? Any help would be much appreciated. And if someone can help identify and source the parts, I will make it worth your while. Thanks, Melissa reid8163@bellsouth.net Edited February 27, 2007 by trueblueeyes Quote
Berttt Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Well you got me there. I can't help but it's good to see one of MW's female members drop by, good luck and remember to show off the finished result Cheers, Berttt Quote
promethuem5 Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 I would contact vf_1s, who posted his amazing modded variable VF-4 in this section as well... Quote
trueblueeyes Posted March 1, 2007 Author Posted March 1, 2007 I would contact vf_1s, who posted his amazing modded variable VF-4 in this section as well... He did a wonderful job, but his is a different kit. It is the SHE VF-4 and not the IHP. Luckily the SHE comes with everything needed for assembly. My IHP VF-4 is a recast so I wanted to start it first before I take a chance at destroying either of my SHE VF-4's. Quote
Valkyrie Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 I think I've got them figured out... First is Wave's L-Joint 1 set (HLJ has the wrong image on the page). Interestingly, it also calls for some of the sprues from this set, specificly, the T-intersections. Wave's Y-Hinge 2 is mentioned, but I think it only uses the sprues from this set. Apparently, they're 3mm thick, and the L-Joints' are 2mm. It also mentions some Kotobukiya sets, but I'm kinda confused about them. It seems to call for sets 1 and 4 of some series. I've got This set from the Evangelion VTOL fighter which I'm building now. It has all the parts used except for the PC-G, H, and J parts. It looks like those parts are probably in Kotobukiya's Starter set 3, and if that's the case, the '4' on the instruction sheet would be a mis-print. It looks like there isn't a 4th set in the series. That should be all of them. Hope this helps. Good luck! Quote
Valk009 Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 I have an original IHP 1/72 VF-4 kit and as with other IHP kits I have noticed that their instructions are not too accurate, so do not rely on them. With my IHP 1/100 VF-11 project they stated the use of Kotobukiya joints, again ranging from sets #1 - 4, some indicating which size too. But as you try to build the kit you will notice that some will fit, while others do not Quote

Ooooops, sorry then... guess I can't read. Hope you found what you needed for yours... can't wait to see pics! Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 BUMP...so how's the kit going? any pics? Quote
