Looking for info/pics on resin VF-2ss

[Rock]

Anyone seen any good build ups/pictures of the VF-2SS Super/Armored Pack resin kit? On the fence about buying an original off YJA. Searching for a couple hours all I could find was a horrible grainy and tiny pictures on Hobbyfanatics.com... :/

thanks in advance.

Here's my build-up. I didn't use the armour pack though.

WMCheng's is another good one - not only did he put the armour on, but he made it optional, no mean feat! I can't find the damn link though.

Thanks peter, that helps quite a bit. Nice build up by the way, fantastic canopy.

I see you had some work (putty and primer) in the first batch of pictures? did you have to fill any mounts for the armor pack or is it removable? I was thinking on using magnets if I could as is look fantastic IMO with and without it. It looks like the intake and exhaust inlets/outles are rather shallow and detail-less, kinda hard to tell in the finished shots due to the angle but, if looks like it is just smooth and then you painted it black correct? That kind of a let down though, I suppose it is correct looking.

I'll look for WMCheng's build but, so far results have been very thin. Wasn't even able to find your thread when searching for VF-2SS...

Thank again

Cough cough

It is a recast, but looking at the pictures in the Y!J Auction, I think that's a recast, too (I'm pretty sure I've seen the one you're looking at several times).

Yes, the search function here now appears to be broken. You used to be able to find threads a lot more easily, but something's changed.

As for building without the armour pack, no special mods are required - you get the bits and pieces to build it with, or without. To make it removable/optional - so you can stick it on or take it off at leisure, requires a lot more work.
