Jaustin89 Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 The prototype shield adapter came in and it works well enough to open the product on shapeways. https://www.shapeways.com/product/QXMNJYDW8/vf-31-shield-adapter-reeplacement I will note that it's not a perfect fit. You don't get the snap where it locks into place like the stock adapters do and due to the material the lip that secures it wears away after cycling it on and off a few times. It still works afterwards but can be shaken off the shield. I'll probably try to refine the fitment eventually but for now this should work. Quote
Sildani Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 Looks excellent, just need one with the standard hardpoint slots. Quote
borgified Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 Best Girl is up for grabs on Jungle (and maybe overpriced to some) Sealed and at 36.3k yen https://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/products/detail/341941 Quote
borgified Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 Guess what's up also as of now?? Super's for her 31c for 12.1k yen (sealed) https://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/products/detail/341930 Quote
jeniusornome Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 I think chuck’s might not be as popular because there have already been five regular releases of the 31... I’m really tempted at that price. I don’t like to buy multiple variants of the same figure - not a lot of display space and my budget isn’t very big - but it would be different enough from my Mirage 31 that I might be able to justify it at that price.

chyll2 Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 imo, radome valk was never popular. Even at Gundam franchise, the counterpart are only a hit to a niche of the fans. Quote
borgified Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 @Bolt - Did you grab the Super's for the Best Girl (or did someone else snagged it)? Quote

rematron Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Anybody know a way to tighten the gap in the fuselage behind the canopy? I acquired a 31a recently with a rather unsightly one. Quote

I acquired a 31a recently with a rather unsightly one. From what we gathered, the only way to make that gap tighten or to make it more closer-looking, adjust the crotch panel under the fuselage in fighter mode. The more you make that panel tight and shut in fighter mode, the more it has a gap between the fuselage and the body. However, by doing so, that crotch panel will not look properly flushed underneath. So it's kind of 'one or the other' situation. Quote

I acquired a 31a recently with a rather unsightly one. This is one of the few known flaws across the vf-31 mold. It seems to vary a little bit by each specific copy (some have it worse than others), but there is no way to completely eliminate the gap, as far as I'm aware. You can try what @no3Ljm suggested, but like he said, there is a trade-off. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 There is a way to eliminate the gap, but it involves shaving the tab on the part that clips in underneath the cockpit so it doesn't pull the fuselage down/back. Personally I wouldn't attempt unless it's a really bad gap, and probably not at all on a 31A. Quote
rematron Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 6 hours ago, Mommar said: Post a photo and show us the gap. Here it is. Not completely awful but significantly larger than the one in the background. I haven’t transformed it yet and I’m hoping that’s the problem. It was used and whoever transformed it back into fighter mode didn’t do it correctly so when I got it, the intake nacelles weren’t sitting into their mounts correctly. So I’m gonna transform it to battroid and back and see what that does. Quote
Bolt Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 All the 31's seem to have a pronounced seem at that spot. But that looks down right gappation..Hopefully you can massage that tighter. Quote

chyll2 Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 speaking of kairos, unbox your unit and remove the plastic film on the wings. Mine cause the coating to disappear where it was lying on Quote
