slide Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 I think I'll cheat then and scratch/bash some dedicated cannon pods [as in ones that don't transform into a rifle] Ala the early Phantoms retrofit solution... Reveal hidden contents ........ if the missile pods can sling under the body alongside a single GAU, why couldn't it mount two GAUs inboard of the engines? I shall have to investigate when Wave releases their 1/72 kit... or were you specifically referring to the toy itself not being able to? Quote

I'll try when I go home tomorrow. With a little scratchbuilding or blutac maybe? Edited July 30, 2016 by wmkjr Quote

That's ok, Spanner. Atleast you know there's some workaround if ever you want to go crazy customizing it. I might order the VF-4C/S/K head from Kurisama soon. Edited July 31, 2016 by no3ljm Quote
spanner Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 yeah I don't mind Kurisama's alternate VF-4 head but again im a rather hesitant doing any mods to the VF-4's.. what I might do is buy the VF-1X++ head for the VF-1S kit (which still hasn't arrived.. hoping today) that is if I decide to keep it!

Ooh. That VF-1X++ looks sexy crazy too. Are you going to make it as a 'freebie' too when you decided on selling that 1S kit? Quote
spanner Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Hehe! You've seen how much those 1X++ head units cost right!?!? Quote

Mazinger Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Today was "Strike a Pose" Sunday for me. Having just received my HMR Hikaru Strike Valk, I decided to do some quick and dirty posing with a mish-mash of other items. Some are in scale, most aren't though, so that game me a chance to play with perspective. Obviously, the canonicity of these shots, much like flashbacks in Delta, is, umm, interesting. Quote

peter Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 Anyone have a VF-1S with two CFs in 1/48 or V2 1/60s to set up a scene like this one? Quote
