Kit Conversion VF-1J

[Ranger565]

Hey Guys,

Well I found a way to Convert a Bandi VF-1J SUPER Max Type to a Gerwalk VF1J Miria With arms As you know, I dont know any 1/72 scale Gerwalk SUPER

VF-1J. However with this kit it is possiable, and with a little patience it should look fine.

Here is a picture of the kit

Now that you know what Kit I am Talking about lets get down the the Conversion

Stuff you will need!

1. GOOD hobby knife (as always)

2. Sheet of Styrene (FLAT ) sheet

Picture of the Styrene that can be bought at a local Hobby shop

Now First find the Model part that looks like This. Its is #110 of the Kit

Once you have this part number #110 CUT along the Edge of this Line marked in Red

Once you have the pieces Separated and sanded down to make them smooth you need to makea side wall with your Plasitic Styrene

once you have made your wall cut from the Styrene you can putty it up do whatever you need and will look like this when finished

Here is a picture of what I have completed so far

All the parts that you need to make the LEGS and arms are Included in this kit. The only Piece that is not included is The Forarm Armor for the VF-1J so you need to cut and make what I have done. Now the Model I have is not quite finished but You can see what results I will have once I am done. its just a simple cut and Glue and you can take a Cheep easy to find model and make it a Conversion

here are the extra parts included

Well I hope you like the Idea. Its something I have come up with. However NOW I find there is trouble with my paint sceme. however I am working on research. For 1 thing I do know. the "TRADITIONAL" Miria Fighter did NOT Have Red Armor on the Legs like in this Yamato To come out soon. and HER Arm armor is NOT blue its RED.

This yamato picture of her super is a NO NO

Great tutorial but I think the color matched FP is gorgeous! In fact, I think the whole FP get up needs to be color matched but thats my taste.
