Xigfrid Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 I don't know much about the ventral fin assembly, but here is a description of assembly Quote
20max20 Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 @valhary, unfortunately I did not put a guide together other than the pictures here. Are you planning to do the whole mod or just replace the old intake with the new one? Quote
valhary Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Thanks Xigfrid that will be enough!!!!!!!! and for now I only wanna try the new intake although I had already started modify the landing gear Quote
505thAirborne Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Just ordered a set from Shapeways. Looking forward to this! Quote
ykkykk2009 Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 Here is my attempt based on Xigfrid's design. I don't have a gundam ventral assembly available so I made a 3d model of that. however getting arms leveled with air intake seems like a formidable challenge to me... any ideas? Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 That slight mod really looks good. Quote

tekering Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 I suppose "Aimee," "Eimee," or even "Eimii" is also possible... but "Amie" is definitely wrong. It doesn't correspond to Japanese or English spelling conventions. Looks like an easy fix, though. Just print a new sticker. But what spelling would be most appropriate? Traditional Western European (Amy Locke)? Fashionably North American (Aimee Rock)? Nihon-shiki Romanji (Eimii Rokku)? Quote
tekering Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 The rest of the names are correct. I'd use "Kujou" rather than "Kujyou," but it's not wrong. [ . . . ] Man, what a compendium of godawful anime names. It's as bad as Gundam! Quote
valhary Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Just testing the intake upgrades and definitely a big improvement the fighter mode I ignore how work for the other modes but if display in fighter is totally worth it!!!! Quote
no3Ljm Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 During the PO madness night for HMR VF-4 Lightning, I stumbled to this. Both are 'on sale' at AmiAmi.

Agent-GHQ Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 Holy mother! I’ve watched a few video reviews and couldn’t justify the regular msrp. Wanted one so bad since that 1991 Bandai 1/100 model kit. Now it’s the right price I’m willing to pay. Patience is a virtue indeed!! Big thanks NO3 Quote
jenius Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 Note you can get a damaged box even cheaper at amiami... It at least you could earlier today. Quote
505thAirborne Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 Thought I'd take Silvie's 2SS + SAP out for some pics along with Amie's 2SS. Nice to have a 1/60 2SS in fighter mode that's not a super floppy mess anymore! Quote
claude grant Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 505thAirborne, where did you get those hands if I may ask ? Quote

claude grant Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 Man, they look nice on the VF-2SS! Gotta remember that switch in case I ever get one...thanks! Quote

claude grant Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 Hey Xigfrid, is there a way to make a version that the Silvie variant can accommodate? I noticed in all the pics that I have seen of that area that the Silvie doesn't appear to have those 4 screws found on Faerie & Nexx. Quote
Lolicon Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 ET VF-2SS on sale. https://hlj.com/1-60-scale-macross-ii-lovers-again-vf-2ss-valkyrie-ii-silvie-gena-custom-evt57191 Quote

mechaninac Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 17 hours ago, Alex GS said: wow that's very tempting. Almost, but not quite at 69% and 65% off respectively. Now, once they tank to the 80+% off range, I may just go for it. Quote
Agent-GHQ Posted September 26, 2019 Posted September 26, 2019 Eh..... love the overall look of the VF-2SS but man after watching so many reviews ET sure dropped the ball on this one and their Alpha fighters. So even at the 50-60% off I’m still on the fence. For those that have it, is it still worth getting even after the discount at hlj? Quote
Slave IV Posted September 26, 2019 Posted September 26, 2019 ET official quality for these seems worse than typical KO quality. My buy limit is around $50. Quote
easnoddy Posted September 26, 2019 Posted September 26, 2019 $50 for the ET VF-2SS is about right, maybe $65 for the ones that come with SAP. But then you have to be okay with owning something that looks and feels like a cheap knockoff. I'd say the Legioss are worth $125-150, they're at least twice as good as the 2SS. Quote
Slave IV Posted September 26, 2019 Posted September 26, 2019 Good to know about the Legioss but I’ll just wait for Sentinel. My general policy is not to settle by paying anything for sub par products. Quote
