wmkjr Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Hmm interesting. Post some pics of the peg from different angles for future reference. Maybe compare the opposite side? Others might have the same issue. Quote
erizai Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Ah. Finally I used quite some force to push it toward the back. It finally locked. But it pop a bit higher and and leave a gap at the front. Thanks guys for the help. Quote
erizai Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 One of my pack just won't lock so applied the nail polish hack do help a bit but it will pop up back after awhile. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzT9mQgVFELkYXo2Q0xlZ1lkaU0 Quote
wmkjr Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Is that the top piece? Open the missile hatch and look under the blue area where the outer silver piece would be if it was closed. It should have either a triangle or triangle with underline. Both parts are not the same as the front area is different. Triangle only is topside. The more detailed the info provided the better picture to paint for others to try and troubleshoot. Quote
Mommar Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Decent Gerwalk image. Don't care if the sword wasn't used in that mode. Quote

seti88 Posted September 3, 2017 Author Posted September 3, 2017 Nice! Gerwalk looks so much better with wings tucked to the side instead of overhead.. Quote
Mommar Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 (edited) Thanks. The wings-up thing is anime inaccuare but the pivot point for the wing root is too far forward to make proper gerwalk terribly useful. The shoulders get in the way. Plus the rotation point has no lock and the fold in the wing isn't ratched so the weight from the drones is resting on the arms in that photo. Too bad, this is one of my favorite Gerwalk modes of any Valk and Bandai really did not design it well. Hopefully we haven't heard about the other versions yet because Bandai are fixing them.

It's definitely not a "bug", but it's not a "feature" either. Edited September 3, 2017 by ArchieNov Quote

There are arrows pointing inside to the fuselage to which wing they should go with the ones with the line meant for underneath. It's located on the inside near the top missiles. Open the missile bay hatch by sliding the silver part forward to make it easier to open the hatch. With the hatch open, hook the lower rear part 1st, slide the silver part back, then push down the front then check the back. You should be able to feel when the front pegs in. If you did it correctly the parts are locked in solid. this is VERY important advice for putting on this stupid missile packs!!!! my left side one top side looking down on the aircraft from the rear was still far more difficult than the other 3, but finally clicked into place. Make sure you check for the little triangles and triangles with lines or you're gonna be very frustrated!!! Edited September 3, 2017 by derex3592 Quote
derex3592 Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 (edited) Lil Drakkens on... the biggest fail with this damn plane is that the rear landing gear doesn't LOCK!!! grrrrrr... did a quick panel line wash on the Lil Drakkens for a little extra detail.. doesn't show up much, but oh well. anyway, maybe tomorrow if I have time I'll attempt battroid for the 2nd time since I got the thing for some shield and sword action!

Zx31 Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Good catch on identifying the top and bottom marks Quote
seti88 Posted September 4, 2017 Author Posted September 4, 2017 Whoa nice pics derex3592. Didn't expect the packs and the lil drakens to looks these good attached in fighter mode. I had tot to display the lil drakens flying, but may consider em attached on the wing. Somehow it makes the 262 seem a lil longer? And those missile pod lines make the 262 top down view even more awesome! Gah mine are still stuck in prep in N-Y... Quote
mickyg Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 ...and so are mine On the upside, it's good to know that I'll have a very good idea of what goes where and why, given all the updates people are posting! Quote

Actually, they do lock, at least on mine they do. You just need to push them forward past the vertical 90 degree angle. Quote
Graham Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 My set just arrived at the office.Will install when I get home tonight. Quote

chyll2 Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 suddenly the 262 looks slimmer with the packs on. Now I am tempted to get one. Quote

spanner Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Got my lil'draken set today and set it all up! Quite happy with it! Quote
derex3592 Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Ooooh! Looks great Spanner! Nice use of the Flightpose stand! I didn't remember they had extra holes for the LilDrakken arms???...or did you custom drill those? Quote

Okay. I can't confirm for sure if it's designed for it or not, but looking closely at the base of the landing gear (near the hinge joint), I can see a small detent or ridge. That's what locks the gear in position when it latches into the crevice. Of course it's really up to you if you want to try it or not. Quote
Zx31 Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 It looks like it's just flat on the side meant to rest against the chassis, but I didn't see any obvious latch to lock it Quote
ArchieNov Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) Oh, I was talking about the Draken's landing gear, not the lil Draken's. Sorry for the confusion, I had misunderstood. Edited September 4, 2017 by ArchieNov Quote

Lolicon Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 My Lil Drakens arrived at the end of last week, but didn't have time to open it till today. Also my first time transforming one of my 262s. That transformation is only slightly nuts. I think she looks better with the sword than the gunpod. Quote

There was no way I was gonna use that awful included stand.. Quote
Lolicon Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Completed my Sv-262 Keith Yeti setup. Still a long way to go for a show I don't even like! But I still love the wooshin'! Quote
no3Ljm Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 ^ Love it. I, too have 2 Drakens but I didn't want to spend extra for a second Lil Draken set. And it looks nice together like that. So if anyone doesn't want their Sword and Shield from their extra sets, do let me know. Quote

The sword and shield went to my third Draken which will be permanently in battroid, because I don't think I want to transform it again. Quote

I just gave in and built all 3 forms using the Tomytec Gimix kits to go with my DX 262. Quote
