Sumdumgai Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) On HLJ.com, they've got a pic of the 1/60 VF-1D in fighter mode. It's in part 2 of their wonderfest coverage. Just a heads up. I just noticed it says that it will come with Hikaru and Minmay figures to put in the pilot seats. Edited August 8, 2008 by Sumdumgai

Dobber Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 The canopy...to me...looks more VT-1 than VF-1D....or a cross between the 2. Still hard to tell from that angle though. but I was hoping for the nice long VF-1D canopy, never realy cared for the VT-1. Chris

If they only extended the fusealge back like 2mm it could still hide behind the chestplate in battroid mode. Then they could add that 2 mm to the canopy. That would make a huge difference to me.

I think Swoosh's previous point was that even on the 1-seaters, the back of the removeable fuselage section is already as high as it can go in battroid mode. On the 1-seaters, it is exposed and is an eyesore, but on the 1D, it should be completely covered by the chest plate. The only way to make a longer fuselage section work is to not push the nose up in battroid, which means the hip hatch would need to be moved up to line up with the swing bar. Which stinks, because the forward fuselage should be a different mold for the 2-seaters anyways, so these changes shouldn't be a big deal. Edited August 8, 2008 by ghostryder

I dunno, I was looking at it last night and I think it could go up two more millimeters or so. But yeah, it's stupid the way the front fuselage is already pushed up so high on the one seaters, since it doesn't leave extra room for the 1D's bigger fuselage.
Hikuro Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Don't care. Will buy. agreed. first I got to afford it before I buy it, and it wont be from hlj, they take forever to charge me out, and my bank charges me for it too cause they suck.

Chris I already convinced myself that Yamato will use this canopy on all their two seaters. I'm just deciding if I can live with it or not.

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Yeah, I've already downloaded some videos, but it looks painful. Guess I'll get the two seaters after all.

transfan52 Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 While I never really cared for the VF-1D it is a memorable color scheme so ill pick it up when it comes out and I don't get why some ppl are bashing the cockpit... it looks fine to me...

miriya Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Thanks for scans miriya! Cool. Yeah. I like to be able to contribute something somwhat substantial every once and a while. Usually I just give my insane opinions. I dont have a scanner so these are just photos. I wish I had time to scan both issues I have of the Magazine and post it all here. It is pretty cool.
