Hi guys, I was going through HLJ and i wanted to get a VF-25F Model. But I suck with water decals. Does the kit come with normal stickers. If i dos not, I my have someone do it for me.

I believe it does. Dalong.net has a photo review for it, under bandai etc section.

All Bandai VF-25's come with both Water and sticker decals. The only exception I know if is the clear VF-25, where the super metal detail decals are only decals and no stickers.

Ok so it has both. So I dont need to use the water decals.

Just FYI but you'll find a ton more info and tips on these in the models forum.

Please post questions about model kits in the model forum, not the toy forum.

Moving topic.

Hijacking this thread because I don't want to start a new one.

way back when they first came out I bought a pair of the base VF-25F kits and never got around to building them. Well, I decided to bust one of them out and put it together for the heck of it and noticed this:

The bright white part in the back is the Polystyrene runner, the cream colored parts on top are The White ABS.

This is the first time I've ever actually taken the parts out of their individual polybags. Were they always like that or did this kit seriously just yellow while sitting unopened in my closet for 5 years.

Not really a big deal since I'm just building this one for fun and practice before attempting to build and paint the other one. I'm just curious if anyone else has noticed this.

:edit:

FYI the ABS parts look kind of grey in the photo but in person they have a distinctly yellowish cream color to them.

I would say yours yellowed---while mine does has the ABS parts "a slightly different shade of white", they are not at all yellow IMHO. The styrene is "purple-white", the ABS is "grey-white". But the overall match is quite good and only apparent if you're comparing pieces actually touching each other.

I'm just putting one together now but it's a recent buy from HLJ. I did not notice any color problem on the white. I do have a 1st release VF-25S but since that one is gray. I don't see any problem.
