VF-18S Hornet Posted January 22, 2010 Author Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) Finally got my VF-1J GPB-01 combo yesterday arrived on time gotta love EMS the fighter was really tight like it needed to be oiled in some parts especially the the nose when I needed to place the decals on the red stripe however was crooked which meant I had to trim the rescue decal at the edge of the line to place it exactlly where it should go. Wonder if anyone had that problem with theirs. But I hit a snag with the biggest mistake I ever made when purchasing an exspensive toy. I placed the UMM-7 missile pod on the wing and it got stuck, honestly I though the nibs were made of rubber that would allow the pods to slip off but as soon I finished snapping shots and was ready to put the armor on, the damn thing would not budge. I tried the usual methods to take it off like with the other 1/60's, but still would not budge it was on tight. So with one final tug the nib broke off the wing still attached to the pod, had to use an X-acto knife to get it off. So no I gotta contact HLJ again to get a relpace as I just fould out tonight they just sent me the replacement shoulder for my VT-1. And this is what happened after trying to pull the pod off Edited January 22, 2010 by VF-18S Hornet

Mommar Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 I had that underwing nub snap off on my very first 1/60 VF-1J Hikaru purchase. I used some Scorpion Industries RP 1500 Adhesive and that sucker has stayed on for good since then. I even tried attached the same missile pod and yanked it off again, that glue holds tight.

BlueMax Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 My newly "renovated" Detolfs! Individual sections
MacrossJunkie Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Nice. That was a good idea using paper clips to provide support for extra shelves.
baronv Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 That's a nice classy set-up Blue Max. Wow, the GBP looks great and a lot less bulky than the original release.
BlueMax Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Thanks guys for the kind comments. I was inspired by Kirik with his 2 in one detolfs (though I lack the carpentry skills to saw off the extra connecting edges), and extra shelves are inspired by some other folks from around the internet, though I should be the the 1st to use binding clips.
m0n5t3r Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 awesome display, bluemax! love the extra 2nd level. gotta love fighter mode!

VF-18S Hornet Posted February 17, 2010 Author Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) Finaly got the part to repair the broken shoulder yesterday, it was a bit hard but I figure out how to get the arm apart would have gotten some advise here if my sister wasn't taking to long working next to my computer, I should buy a laptop the next time she does that. Figured out on ow to separate the shoulder from the ball joint by spreading the shoulder cover apart to get it off the arm so I can unscrew the screws in the upper arm Old shoulder piece Edited February 17, 2010 by VF-18S Hornet
Kicker773 Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 oh yeah it is.. wish i could put a set on my table now.. back in a day i could.. sigh..

nexxstrait Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) I love 1/60s (both old and new), but nothing can beat 1/48s and the old 1/55 Edited March 2, 2010 by nexxstrait
MacrossMan Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) Sexy ass side covers!!! Is that VF-1D color a one off or something or those the original white covers you made and the lighting is making them look like a match to the Valk? Edited March 2, 2010 by MacrossMan

DyNo Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Sexy ass side covers!!!

MacrossMan Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 Looks amazing MacrossMan! The ultimate VF-1D, those side covers really make all the difference!! Thanks! Wish I could afford another one to display in fighter mode. Seeing this in its weathered glory in 1/48 scale pisses on the 1/60th version. I love the new smaller scale, but nothing can ever take the place of me beloved 1/48's!!!
