Hello,
I made a replacement parts that once assembled (preferably using glue) will replace the original triangles of the VF-171.
Additionally, I wanted to make a replacement of the "lower" triangle which is supposed to brake also, but couldn't figure which material could do the job. If you have ideas, let me know.
I made on Shapeways a few models:
