Graham Posted February 23, 2010 Author 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

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. Quote
derex3592 Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Mine shipped today from AmiAmi. Should be in my hands by the weekend! Quote
Foblander Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 like others have said, the lower heat shield should click. it's really hard to do with the cockpit in. 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
hutch Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 There does not seem to be enough room to slip the cockpit back in if I do it the way you have mentioned? I found that a pair of tweezers with tissue paper over the ends it works quite well Quote
HEY BOYS Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 There does not seem to be enough room to slip the cockpit back in if I do it the way you have mentioned? PICTURESSSSSSSSSSSSSS ..........!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOLLLLLLLLLL Quote
eriku Posted February 23, 2010 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
anime52k8 Posted February 23, 2010 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.

aldebabram21 Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I feel kind of stupid now lol, it was really just a mader of patience, maybe I was only freaking out cause my yf-19´s left shoulder finally gave up after three years of bad a%% perfectfullness (if thats not a word, please just considered invented by me) so I was kind of depresed and scared that happen to my favorite valk and toy ever, sorry for my clumssines, any way, thaks for leting me know Graham, I didnt know the colopy thingy was not as awesome as I thought, well tomorrow Im trying to contact yamato to se if they can sell me a new shoulder, I hope they do. Sorry for the pictures but my camara is my keitai and as I mention before, bad quality is a compliment for the things my celphone does. Quote
macrossnake Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Sorry for the pictures but my camara is my keitai and as I mention before, bad quality is a compliment for the things my celphone does. VF11 really looks better on white imo. Quote

Uxi Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Good to see some pictures finally. You get some yet, Graham? Quote

It is very, very white though. Edited February 23, 2010 by eriku Quote

Vostok 7 Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Really want to see some non-fastpack fighter-mode picts. Pretty please?! Quote
eriku Posted February 24, 2010 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
Arthurius Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 and can you take some nice pictures in batroid mode with the fps, preaty please with sugar on it???? Quote
Mommar Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I guess while we're all making requests here I suppose I'm the only one interested in seeing some non-fast pack picks of Gerwalk? Quote

Uxi Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Damn, loving it. Good pics, man. You gotta get that lower heat shield closed, though. Must resist.... whoever that was with the 1 valk a month rule has got me subscribed. I want 2 of these.... And I've got the next 3 months already booked. Quote
eriku Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Damn, loving it. Good pics, man. You gotta get that lower heat shield closed, though. Tell me about it. So far I haven't been able to. It's more stubborn than the heatshied was on the 11B I had. Quote
Uxi Posted February 24, 2010 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. Is this the fixed one Graham? What were they going to do originally? Quote
Mommar Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Quick shots: Awesome! Thank you for all the great non-fast pack shots in all three modes. I can't wait to get one of these. Quote
DARKWIND Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I got both my orders from Amiami and HLJ at the same time. It was almost like Christmas as a kid. And again Yamato has scored a homerun. Quote
DARKWIND Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 about that white vf-1s do you have to assemble it or not? Im on the fence about buying a few but just want to know for sure. Quote
miriya Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Dang!!! This bird is so sexy!!! I wish I had one. I hope to get one in the future. Great wallpaper there with the space theme photos! Quote
eriku Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 about that white vf-1s do you have to assemble it or not? Im on the fence about buying a few but just want to know for sure. 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. Quote
