fenrir72 Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Just got a Yamato VF0S Phoenix first release ( box has the flip up cover)and keeping my fingers crossed from Amiami. What's weird is that it was preowned seemed to be sealed but some decals were gone (301 small decals for the rear fins and some of the Skulls). From what I read is that the shoulders are ticking time bombs? Anyway, after searching everywhere here need to clarify something: 1. Yamato ver does not have those flaps on the inner part of his chest to fold out the gap? 2. Yamato doesn't have the Reactive armor that Arcadia has Am I correct on both these issues? Quote

The answer to your questions is no. And yeah, this release and the Yamato YF-19 were notorious for having exploding shoulders/upper arms. The Arcadia VF-0 uses metal for those parts. Quote

derex3592 Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) Decided it was time to put the FAST packs back on M&M. I've had them naked for a few months now in the cabinets. I still love the Yamato rainbow canopy versions of these. Lovingly panel lined and stickerd up they still look amazing ten or so years on. And it helps I got them for about $120 bucks each on discount back in the day. Edited February 15, 2020 by derex3592 Quote
Lolicon Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Had a spare Arcadia PF VF-1S so I touched it up a bit. Since it's my extra I kept a totally clean, brand new appearance for it. Quote

chyll2 Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 @Lolicon Arcadia PF's wheels need a slight wash to bring out some of the details. As always, great work. Quote
sh9000 Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 The amount of love is just too awesome. Quote

Haha thanks. Yeah I don't spend any time on Arcadia landing gear since they're already white and I have everything displayed "in flight" on Yeti stands. I guess I could go back and just do a quick wash... Quote
sh9000 Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I plan on making a version 2 chess board with each square being 8". The finished chess board will be a 5' 4" square and will accommodate the HMR Monsters for Rooks. I'll probably take a picture of the setup on my living room floor or a parking lot or something. HMR love! Quote

jeniusornome Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Loving that VF-1S Max type. I don't know that I'm in for another DX - maybe a VF-1D if I could survive the ordering process - but a 1S Max would be really hard to resist for me. Quote

I actually liked the old HM VF-19. Still have mine with the sound boosters, which looks as good as its bigger 1/60 brother. Quote
