Graham Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Well, its finally here, Im very happy, but I have only two issues, the gray details are actually whie in de shoulders area, and my heat shield dosent stay in place, the lower part, have any of you guys have a problem like this with yours, 11b or c´s, also, the cockpit does not have that cool rainbow colory efect, damn. White is apparently 'anime accurate' for the shoulder area you mention. Glad it doesn't have the "cool rainbow colory effect" on the canopy, as occasionally it has been shown to crack and peel off. As I mentioned in another post, Yamato have decided to stop using it for that very reason on all new VFs. The lower heatshiled should loock in place, you just need to pull it up until it clicks in place. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually take the cockpit pod out, grip the heat shield from underneath with my finger and on top with my thumb and pull till it clicks then slip the cockpit pod back in.

There does not seem to be enough room to slip the cockpit back in if I do it the way you have mentioned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eriku Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 The first thing I noticed upon opening my 11C this morning is that the white isn't as stark white as it looked to me in photos. I was expecting it to be the same bright white as the 1/60 TV Max and the unpainted VF-1S, but it seems closer to the slight off-white of the regular VF-1S releases. Also big cheers for the clear canopy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) There does not seem to be enough room to slip the cockpit back in if I do it the way you have mentioned? it's tight but there is. just make sure the part that lifts the cockpit up is slid back (the "up" position) so it looks like this on the inside. the slide in the cockpit pod in the direction the arrow is pointing; first down and forward... then pus the back part strait down. then just slide the little gray lifting piece forward to lower the cockpit pod all the way. and viola! heat shield deployed with no tools.

eriku Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) Really want to see some non-fastpack fighter-mode picts. Pretty please?! Since you asked so nicely. Didn't have much time to take pics so they're pretty crappy. The 11C is LOVE. It's nowhere near as bright white as the TV Max and unpainted VF-1S. It doesn't come out so well in my photos, but you can kinda see the difference. Only problem I've had so far is not being able to keep the bottom heat shield up. I had no problem at all with that on the 11B. On that toy I just pulled it up and it clicked and stayed, then I would slide the cockpit pod back in and pull the top half down. Nothing seems to be able to get this one to stay up. In any case, I'm very happy with it and I'm glad I got rid of the 11B in favor of this one. I do miss the bayonette, but the 11C gunpod is cool in it's own right. Edited February 24, 2010 by eriku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uxi Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Pilot looks pretty cool. Looks like they didn't two tone it with white shoulders and helmet on tan body but pretty close.

There are two versions. One is a kit that you have to assemble and one comes fully assembled. I have the assembled one, which is exactly the same as any other V2 toy except no paint.
