Ridden001 Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 Hi everyone: Has anyone determined if the Yeti Stand adaptors for the DX Frontier valks are compatible with the DX 1/48 VF-1? Quote

You'll have to use the DX adapter designed for the Sv-262 because the 1/48 DX stand connector has an extra large base like the Sv-262's. Even then the fit isn't perfect, but it works. Quote

rocketblast Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 Hi Mr. sh9000, just curious how many vf-1a max and vf-1j hikaru do you have in your collection? I just bought my second max was 199 plus shipping (sold a free item on ebay for 79 yesterday so that money went toward my second 1/48 purchase ) Quote

Do you have any plans on buying more than 2 of any future releases for diorama or etc? Or customs? Also any plans for panel lines on that VF-1J? looks awesome with panel lines imo.

GeneralTiki Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 First time posting here - long time lurker. Been super inspired by the modifications/enhancements done to others VF-1J toys, and I decided to share what I did to mine. I think the weathering and panel lines, and the little bit of paint detail here and there really brings out the best of what Bandai made. I love this thing so much. Hope you guys enjoy. Quote

GeneralTiki Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Thanks guys - yes, I've got Max's VF-1A on the bench. That's the one that really moved me to do this, as I think it seems bland in comparison to the out-of-the-box VF-1J. The small details you aren't really seeing in these pics (the landing gear wells, cockpit, airbrake, etc.) took more "skill" than the most obvious improvement - which is a wash to bring out the panel lines and add a layer of grime. Anyone can do this...check this out: (I highly recommend this company as well - try a mix of 2/3 Dark Dirt and 1/3 Black - and make sure to mask the cockpit: https://www.florymodels.org/washes As an aside - if anyone knows how to remove the cockpit glass - I'm all ears. I took every screw out of the thing, and was able to remove the nose/cockpit, but wasn't able to figure out how to get the glass loose. I pulled it just hard enough to make me really uncomfortable before giving up and masking it off. Edited October 29, 2019 by GeneralTiki Quote
