derex3592 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 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??? Quote
ArchieNov Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 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 Quote
derex3592 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 well poop.... Honestly, battroid is the best looking mode for this one to be in anyway. So no biggie. Quote
ScrambledValkyrie Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Even though it's technically the wrong adapter, it can fit and be made to work; as long as the gunpod is there to give it stability. It just won't tab in towards the back. Quote

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. 54 minutes ago, ArchieNov said: I mentioned this in another thread.

amptor Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 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 Quote
mechaninac Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) ^ Meh! I found a very simple solution to my dislike of the Messer liveried VF-1S: I just didn't buy one... Edited October 9, 2017 by mechaninac Quote
derex3592 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Man.....lotta shade bein thrown at poor Messer around here! I mean, he was the BEST thing in Delta after all! Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Could have been worse, Delta was far far better than G no Reconguista... Bandai, give us some HMR VF-1EXs, I need Mirage's so I can put in formation with my Milia and Max 1Js. Quote
Atheonyirh Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited October 10, 2017 by Atheonyirh Quote
Slave IV Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 I think the Messer VF1 looks great! The obnly thing I would change is putting the emblem on the tailfins. Quote

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). Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Over here all I have is: VF-1J Max VF-1J Milia Glaug Spartan Defender And the VF-1S Messer is in the mail Now release my Missile regults, VF-2SS, and Elintseeker already. Quote
Mazinger Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Now when are the damn Grunts, N-Ger's, and Q-Rau's coming?!?!?!?! Quote

spacemanoeuvres Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 A Gnerl Fighter Pod would be cool Quote

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. Quote

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. Edit: Oops. I was just composing this when @wmkjr comment pops up. Hehehe. Edited October 11, 2017 by no3Ljm Quote
Chronocidal Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 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. Quote

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 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.

beatsing Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 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. Quote

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 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.

sh9000 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) Saw this on facebook. I’d definitely buy several HMR Gnerls. Edited October 12, 2017 by sh9000 Quote
Chronocidal Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 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. 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. Quote
jenius Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 Looks great! They should do stand alone GBP and supers. Quote
