Guys, am I missing something here???....The fighter mode stand adapter for the Messer VF-1S will NOT go on this plane with the gunpod there or without it there really...What am I doing wrong???:huh::mellow::huh:

Posted

I mentioned this in another thread. They've been including the fighter mode adapter that is meant to be used with the fast pack. It's a mistake that Bandai has kept on doing ever since the VF-1A CF

I was going through the exact same thing, I eventually gave up on trying to attach it properly. I ended up just putting it on improperly to take pics.

Then while looking at the my VF-1S Hikaru I realized that it was the wrong adapter.

I didn't realize this was the case, thank you for the info.

Not trying to threadcrap but the Messer looks better kept in the box than taken out.

At least we will see the VT-1 come out after the VE-1 so I can't complain too much :)

^ Meh!  I found a very simple solution to my dislike of the Messer liveried VF-1S:  I just didn't buy one... :p

To be honest the only thing I think I'd change about the Messer VF-1 is to get rid of the pink spots, but even then I don't mind them. The colors make it interesting and it was kind of fun trying to figure out a way of showing off the tampo print without it being boring.

I think the Messer VF1 looks great! The obnly thing I would change is putting the emblem on the tailfins.

Yeah, more nose- and tail-art, less spine-art.

Got another HMR Monster.

Man, sometimes I'm embarrassed checking in here with my meager collection. :)

VF-1J Armored Valkyrie

VF-1S Strike Valkyrie (Hikaru)

Regult

VF-1S Strike Valkyrie (Roy)

Glaug

VF-1J Valkyrie (Hikaru)

VF-1J Super Valkyrie (Max)

 

Still on the fence about the Elint Seeker too, but the fact that I'm thinking about it means I should just go ahead and place an order.

Wishlist for 2018 and beyond: Tomahawk, Super Ostrich, Queadluun-Rau, VF-1A (Max), VF-1A Supers (Hikaru, Max & Kakizaki).

A Gnerl Fighter Pod would be cool

How big would that be in HMR scale? Huge I think.

I don’t know. I’m participating in the sdf rewatch and the gnerl fighter pod are prominently featured in early episodes. They look about the same size as the regults but I’m just guessing.

If going by R2KF's reissue of Capt's Gnerl mold, it's pretty big in comparison to that VF.

I'm posting here pic from @cowie165 on his R2KF 1/72 Gnerl Fighter thread. Assuming the brownie VF-1 featured in this pic is also in 1/72 scale, then that's how the difference is if you scale it down in HM-R scale. ;)

I'd absolutely love to get a couple Gnerl pods, it's such an underrepresented design.  Wouldn't be hard to give it functional landing gear in that scale either.

Judging by the size of the cockpit, I'd think the overall size of the pod should be comparable to a Glaug, really.

Had some time to sit down and play around with Messer VF-1S today, I like the scheme, but dang, I always forget how much part swapping there is on the HM-R Valks... Im still a 1/60ver2 guy at heart I guess...

 

Want to know my secret? I have never even transformed any of the HMR valks and I have at least 2x of each release :lol:

I tend to transform an old V2 Roy that I have laying around when I get the urge to transform a VF-1, I'm also a V2 guy at heart.

Misb loop?  Or are the hmr just display pieces for you? 

I love the V2 but I mess around with the hmr more than the V2.   I'm a bit more ginger with V2 and display them more than mess around with them.

Yeah mostly all of my VF-1's are still MISB. I only opened up one of each non VF-1 that I own and 1 VF-1J GBP if I'm corect. I buy 3x of all non VF-1 releases in this series except for the Monster, I only got 2 because of the shipping cost :lol:

Oh I forgot, I changed my order for the 35th sceme down to 1x as it's a non standard scheme release so I only have one Messer.

Assuming these come with spare hardpointed wings like every other HMR, I might strip down one set, and make the wings look less.. well.. bleh. :lol:  I want to remove the random spike in the middle and just extend the pinstripe all the way to the wingtip.  Shouldn't be too hard to do, just need to scrape off the spike, and then mask around where I want the stripe to run, and sand the tampo off.

I might also swap the canopies around a bit.  That gold might look pretty nice on some CFs, and then I can use the blue ones from Hikaru 1Js on Messer. :)
