Lorindor Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Finally got my VF-4 yesterday. I thought it would be slightly bigger from all the pics I've seen throughout the years, but it still looks great. Now I really want a FB2012 version! Quote
Xigfrid Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 That's one great fin angle Saburo! Jk apart, this head is nicely finished. Quote

jenius Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Gorgeous. If I were going to do a VF-4 skull squadron I'd have the nose paint be yellow, red, and blue (very light versions) also. Quote
Mommar Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 The gray one has an inyeresting head unit and the gattling guns are a cool addition but all of the additional markings are overdone and obnoxious. Quote

My only criticism would be if they were following the US Navy modex allocation, then each squadron should begin with a different number if they're part of the same air-wing. That's just nitpicking though. I should have mine on tuesday.............finally. Quote

But like Bandai's VF-19, it's too heavy on the decals. Though still no brown feet on his Hikaru VF-4. Edited March 14, 2016 by no3ljm Quote
mickyg Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 He's done an incredible job on all three. I'm wondering how he did that head. It's an imaginative take on things, that's for sure! Quote
anime52k8 Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 It has too many markings, it doesn't have enough markings, this is why we can't have nice things people. Quote
Mommar Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 It has too many markings, it doesn't have enough markings, this is why we can't have nice things people. All of my things are nice, I put on just enough markings to be well balanced but not obnoxious. Quote
barurutor Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Silly question, was the Yamato VF-4G box bigger than the 1/60 vf-1/vf-19 boxes? The Arcadia 4G box is huge, just like a VF-0 box. Quote

barurutor Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 thanks mommar, guess i'll have to reorganize my boxes to make space for the VF-4 along with the YF-21/SV-51/VF-0 boxes. Quote

perello23 Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) I redid my figure. Edited March 18, 2016 by perello23 Quote
94medition Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 I redid my figure. Wow. That is awesome! Quote
Hikaru1234567890 Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Thanks guys I really want to do this with mine,but i have the fear i will mess up and have no extra pilot figure. Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 I redid my figure. Thanks guys Wish I could do the same. I really want to do this with mine,but i have the fear i will mess up and have no extra pilot figure. You can try using Epoxy Putty to make one. Quote

McFly!! Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 I redid my figure. Great job! Wish I could do the same. You can try using Epoxy Putty to make one. Now there's a cool idea! Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Here are some pics of my VF-4G, though these are the first batch though I don't have the photos of it decaled up yet these will do. For now. Quote
dapro Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Here are some pics of my VF-4G, though these are the first batch though I don't have the photos of it decaled up yet these will do. For now. Was it hard to put the flight adapter on this bad ball? Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Really, the VF-4's fighter adapter is my favorite Yamato/Arcadia adapter period. It attaches solidly without having to half-way transform the thing, and actually sits right under the balance point, so the valk both looks and feels centered on the stand. I did trim down the locking pegs on mine a little though, to get it to snap in and out of the sockets easier. The pegs were so big they deformed the area around the sockets when I first attached it. Quote
Loop Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 I left my VF-4G In my PW hoping some other releases come out before shipping it from HLJ. I will be ok though as I still have my Yamato's sitting on my hobby table, I just feel kinda weird having bought it but not shipped it since release. I hope everyone that missed it the first time around are enjoying this toy. Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 It's a snug fit, doesn't wiggle and not too tight. The adapter was made with both Yamato and Arcadia stands in mind. Though I wish Arcadia included a stand with the VF-4G. Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 You know I misunderstood you. I was easy getting the adapter on, but was bitch to get off, when came to transform it to Battriod mode. Quote
Sandman Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I left my VF-4G In my PW hoping some other releases come out before shipping it from HLJ. I will be ok though as I still have my Yamato's sitting on my hobby table, I just feel kinda weird having bought it but not shipped it since release. I hope everyone that missed it the first time around are enjoying this toy. Mine is sitting in my pw as well. Though if history stays consistent I'll probably have nothing to add to the order before it ships. Quote
Muzaffar Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I didn't see any guide for the decal application in the manual. Did I miss it or it wasn't included? Quote
Mr Bomber Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I didn't see any guide for the decal application in the manual. Did I miss it or it wasn't included? should be right there on plain sight, at least it is on mine. The decal sheet is a little smaller than usual i think. Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 No there was no guide on how to place the decals in the instruction manual. I just used my imagination, and looked at the photo on the box, as well getting some inspiration from a custom VF-4G on this thread. Quote
