vt102 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) Here are some pics of my build I did years ago. I had a whole build thread, but I guess it was lost once they upgraded the forum boards. I tried to check in the old section, but it didnt go far back enough. I bought the kit from HLJ way back when, but didnt want to build it. Then another member here was selling one that didnt have a box and was missing the vacuum formed canopy, so I bought it and built that one. It was my first time working with resin. I think it came out ok. Anyway... onto the pictures.

MechTech Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 That's a cool looking kit and a nice clean build! Thanks for posting! - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefuemon Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Just grabbed this kit myself last time I was in Tokyo! The VF-4 from this line was my first try at resin, too. Left it with a friend of mine before I moved to Japan, though. Just managed to score the VF-17 through Valk009, looking for the other ones if anyone is interested in selling.

vt102 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Thanks. I am going to try and re take pictures of my other kits I built. I built 2 1/200 nichimo kits, a S Battroid, and a S super fighter... A Bandai 1/72 S full transformating kit, and an Imai 1/144 valkyrie 4 type fighter.

Valk009 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Neat build! Btw, did the kit come with the pilot or was it your own sculpt/sourced elsewhere? I have the normal VF-1S Strike version, as opposed to the VF-1X Digital kit (same just without the launch base) and I think mine does not come with the pilot.

vt102 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) Yes, the kit comes with a 4" pilot figure. I did not build it though. If you are talking about the pilot in the cockpit, I got him from the Imai valkyrie 4 type kit along with the canopy, since it was missing on the kit I bought used from the member here.

Jefuemon Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Btw, did the kit come with the pilot or was it your own sculpt/sourced elsewhere? Just checked my kit, and yes it comes with a pilot. Sculpted already sitting in the seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vt102 Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Jefuemon, could you post a picture of yours? I just checked my unbuilt one and there is no pilot. I am curious to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valk009 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Interesting, I think the normal plain VF-1S Strike version lacks this little sucker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vt102 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 I guess I was wrong. It was so long ago, I know I had to use the canopy off the Imai cause I didnt have one. I should check if my Yellow sub plain fighter has a pilot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
