I pretty much always take them off unless in Battroid or when Strike or Supers are attached. It's annoying to keep them in their box, but my OCD gets the best of me LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they're not recessed enough? Haha, I'm the same way mainly because I just think the covers look better. One reason is because yeah, the fans look silly so close to the intake. The other is the way the covers look, they could work either by sliding open or just folding open, in the latter case, they would still be visible and I can just pretend they are either way with them on.

vladykins Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I am the same- I almost always pop the covers on regardless of mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarbarian Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I rationalize it by saying the fighter is in space when I'm too lazy to put the fan covers in my parts bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolicon Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I keep the intake covers on all the time except maybe for photo taking. When you have dozens of valks, it gets a bit onerous keeping track of all the little baggies with each valk's intake covers. I don't keep them in their boxes because that's even more annoying to have to find the box and dig them out. All the little ziplock bags go into one big tupperware container with all the intake covers and other small interchangeable parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYRL VF-1S Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 @spanner see what you started? Actually, it’s pretty interesting seeing everyone prefer to keep them on. I’m in the minority here it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggy99 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I don’t have enough valks for it to be a problem for me, so i prefer to keep them on or off appropriate for the mode its in. I do agree that it can be annoying to have all the intake covers in 1 zip lock bag, as I found it hard to match up the correct cover for each valk when i had more valks. Convenient if you had the Arcadia clear stand with the storage built in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have a lot of valks so it's a lot of little baggies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never really liked the exposed fan detailing in most if not all the Valkyries.. the VF 27 just has black holes with no fan detailing and looks great with the covers off in fighter mode. I know the technology behind the Valkyries is meant to be different to real life fighter jets but even in most jets you don't see the fans especially the more stealthy ones..

The 0D having no space mode (as far as I know) means no covers except Battroid. I just realized how strong the dork is in me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's time to update that storage game. I got some of thseand only use thre shelves so I can stack boxes better. They work great because you can roll them into each other which takes up a lot less room. When you want to get at something you can just open up acess to the shelf you need. Works like a charm.
