  1. 1. If you lived in Japan would you pre-order a VF-4?

    • I would pre-order but I'm not sure I can afford it.
      82
    • Yes I would pre-order, but I would only buy it if it was under $300 (about 24000円).
      164
    • I would pre-order it and buy it at any price.
      82
    • I would pre-order it just to bump the numbers, but won't actually buy it.

Any movement on your packages for those who have theirs held up in customs in LA? Mine still has no updates.

Not yet. Been in customs in LA for a week now. I'm thinking somebody screwed up bad.

Hi, did you panel line it by using the gundam line marker pen?

mine is on delivery.. i wonder if the multiple rocket launch in vf 1 could fit like this model kit

Once the aftermarket uder-belly door panel with integral hard points hit shapways you'll be able to load the VF-4G just like that, at least between the nacelles... outboard of the engines, not so much.

All these LA customs delay stories have me considering FedEx once I request HLJ to ship mine. :(

Edit:

Notice anything different? ;)

A vertical line that looks like an antenna?

Yeah I think LA USPS customs might be the factor, here is my info http://tracking.post...1=EJ152178854JP

USPS in general is complete ass, especially once it hits New Mexico. However this LA customs place is really pissing me off. Both VF-4's have been sitting there since the 30th and my 17D has been sitting there since the 31st. Oddly enough my 19P arrived there on the 29th and made it through relatively quickly (I received it Thursday) although the USPS website didn't update that it had arrived in New Mexico until it was already dropped off at my house (one of the few advantages to taking care of your aging parents is that they can answer the door during the day and sign for packages.) This is pretty much why i try to choose FedEx whenever I can. I've never had this problem with them ever.

i did indeed!

I'm going to try and do my panel lines today with "dark dirt" weathering wash. Good Job on yours though! The black marker is just a tad to dark deep dark black for my taste.

Do share when you get that done. I'd like to see. I've found it a pain to use it when the panel lines are really shallow.

I got mine all stickered up and put a gloss coat on it. I was planning to do an oil wash on my VF-4 and SDF-1 today, but the black oil paint I ordered hasn't arrived. So much for Amazon Prime 2 day shipping :angry:

Nice. You did a pretty good job modding the head so far. From the line art, it seems like the head laser is near identical in shape to the YF-21's.

the whole thing with the.....Shoulder Armor....let's call it that for now....that besides the missles is the biggest PITA of this thing. I love it otherwise!

if they ever make a "Yamato VF-4 2.0" that's the only thing I want fixed myself.
