Jefuemon Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 1/72 scale VF-17D Nightmare. Soft vinyl/plastic kit from Wave. Primed by Mr. Surfacer, painted by Mr Color, so that shoots the myth I heard many years ago that you can only use acrylic to paint vinyl kits to hell and gone. This came as either an S or a D. I choose D, because I think the head on the S looks just too damn goofy. Also, if anyone doesn't catch the reference to my thread title, damn I'm getting old! Quote
mickyg Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 Yeah, it looks like an absolute dream to me! Quote
big F Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 I have this kit 4 times it is my second favorite Valk next to the VF1. The S head is a little odd, you need to squint to see it right Dam fine job you did too. Quote
Guest sh002 Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 wow that is awesome. mine is still in the box and still not made. Quote

Major Focker Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 awesome work! i didn't even know there was a kit of this, 1/72 no less! the hunt begins.. Quote
Flakpanzer Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 That is a great job, congrats on the 17. Regards, Flak Quote
AcroRay Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Very nice indeed. And I totally agree with you about the heads. Quote
Fly4victory Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 mine is still in the box and still not made. My VF-17 is in the box also. Also have the VF-19S that is still sealed in plastic. I looked at them today and wished they would be re-released. Would like to get a couple of VF-17s for VF-171 conversion and pick up a VF-19 Kia. Quote
Jefuemon Posted October 6, 2010 Author Posted October 6, 2010 You're right! These kits are a nightmare!! But yours results very well, congratulations!! Actually, I didn't think it was all that bad. I was working on Bandai's VF-25F before this, but I got so angry at how crappy that kit was I boxed it back up and threw on the shelf in disgust. This kit was pretty refreshing, to be frustrated for a real reason! I only broke my cutter knife once, too. Quote
Graham Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Beautiful work. The VF-17D definitely has the meanest, toughest looking battroid of all. Graham Quote
