柿崎速雄 Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 HI, I bought a VF-11 RESIN KIT TODAY, but I know this kit is for advance modeler to play with, and I just a newbie about build up resin kit. does anybody here have some advice for me before I start to build this Kit? thankyou very much Quote
Myersjessee Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 OH MAN OH MAN!!!! I am so very jealous! My advice...give it to me...! Would you post some pictures of it? I'd love to see how many pieces it has...I always talked wanting to recast this kit...but I suspect that would be impossible...(or too many pieces to make it reasonable... ) Still I would love to see it! Good luck, and please keep us in the loop as you tackle it! WOW! (can I ask..how much) ? Quote

Less than Super Ostrich Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 i'd practice on a cheaper kit... maybe the Wave kits before you embark on that kit! Quote

Grayson72 Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 Cool kit, wow all those pics and I can't tell what scale it's in? 1/100 or 1/72? Quote
柿崎速雄 Posted March 12, 2004 Author Posted March 12, 2004 Cool kit, wow all those pics and I can't tell what scale it's in?1/100 or 1/72? this official data stat that is a non-scale model, but I get the size data from HJ, around 21cm in fighter mode,and compare the parts with YAMATO 1/72 it's a 1/72 scale model Quote
Grayson72 Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 dang, now I'm jealous, 1/72 that I don't have. Quote
tom64ss Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 Cool kit, wow all those pics and I can't tell what scale it's in?1/100 or 1/72? this official data stat that is a non-scale model, but I get the size data from HJ, around 21cm in fighter mode,and compare the parts with YAMATO 1/72 it's a 1/72 scale model Yamato's VF-11B is non-scale also. It's estimated to be about 1/68 scale. That kit looks so much better than the Yamato. Quote

Beginner? Intermediate? still far away form the entry of beginner level...... experience= 0.00 haven't touch any resin kit before Quote
Skull Leader Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 (edited) It strikes me that if you've worked with resin kits before you have an obvious leg up. The real trick will be in dealing with the screws. I have never EVER had to drill a joint before, so I have no idea how difficult that can be. It *seems* pretty straightforward though.... sure wish other, less expensive companies offered kits with screws to practice on. Many consider that VF-11B kit to be the motherload of all IHP production-level kits (this is, of course, not taking the limited production VB-6 into consideration) Edited March 13, 2004 by Skull Leader Quote
