Valkyrie Canopy Masks - 1/48 TV VF-1 and 1/72 VF-1D set available!

[Return To Kit Form]

Good news! The files for the 1/48 VF-1A/J/S DTRL Canopy (Part N1) have been finalised and will include inner and outer masks. I just have to print up some labels and get cutting. With some luck these should be hitting the streets in a week or two tops!

1/72 vf-1 results up in a day or two. Packaging looks very classy.

Nice, how I pay you?

[Return To Kit Form]

I have packets ready so I guess this means that the 1/48 scale VF-1 masking sets are officially in production!

These 48 scale sets use double the masking material but are only priced 50% more. Each set is AUD $8.25 incl postage within Australia. International orders need to add a flat AUD$3.00 regardless of how many sets are ordered.

Anyone interested can send me a pm here or at returntokitform@gmail.com.

 

Cheers,

Brett

I would like the 1/72 DYRL VF-1. 

Is there a safe way to clean the Humbrol Clear off my current cockpit and start over?

Is it enamel or acrylic? You could try a bath of isopropyl for a few hours and see how that goes.

Sorry team. Was testing these but have quit modelling for the last 6 weeks plus after my daughter got hit on her motorbike and hospitalised. Back in the game now. Sorry to let you all down by not completing the testing in time

No no no no no, no sorry. I've had my own fair share of family in bad situations entirely of someone else's doing, so I'd have some choice words for the person who hit your daughter. I hope she's recovering well, and you're doing well too.

After a quick FaceBook poll we have decided to maje the VE/VT-1 canopy mask set next. It should be ready in early July!

Hi Brett, these look great! I’m getting ready to move cross country, so I don’t want to put in an order until I get settled at my new address. Do you expect to keep these around as a regular production item, or will you have to move on to other things eventually? Thanks!

We will be carrying them for the foreseeable future - we've got you covered

There will has been and will continue to be a delay with the VE/VT-1 canopy masks due the Kamjin kit being moved up the schedule...and the fact that I don't have a canopy to use for development like I thought I did. Oops.

 

In other news our canopy masks are now available at HLJ woohoo!

 

Cheers,

Brett

Thanks Arbit! I didn't even know that they were on Hobbysearch as we have been dealing directly with the Japanese distributor.

Update: The 1/48 TV style canopy (part N-8) mask set cutting file is complete as is the 1/72 scale VF-1D. The sets themselves won't be available for a few weeks yet as I juggle things between work which has been busy. 

I am thinking of doing the VF-4 next but are there any suggestions for what should be next after that?

 

Cheers,

Brett

[Return To Kit Form]

Well it was more than a few weeks but these are finally available!

The 1/72 scale VF-1D masks are AUD$5.50 + flat $3 shipping out side of Australia

The 1/48 scale TV style masks are AUD$7.50 + flat $3.00 shipping outside of Aus.

Cheers,

Brett

I highly recommend these. Got the cleanest finish ever on my 1/72 VF-1.

No nightmare of cutting my own mask and scratching the canopy, no finger smuges from repeated handing, no problems at all.
