YAMATO 1/60 SCALE VF-1A
FIGHTER-TO-BATTROID MODE TRANSFORMATION GUIDE
Part 3 of a 3 part series
Here in photo form is the guide for transforming the
Yamato VF-1A from fighter mode to battroid mode.
When I have time, I’ll work on the fighter to
Gerwalk transformation and battroid to fighter mode transformation sequences.
Transforming the Yamato VF-1A is only a little bit
more difficult that the classic 1/55 scale toys, but there are a few more steps
you need to follow. Anyway, just follow the instructions on the photo guide and
you will be fine.
You may notice that the order in which I transform
the toy is a little bit different to how it shows in the Yamato instruction
manual. To be honest, much of the transformation really doesn’t need to follow
a firm order. For example, it doesn’t really matter when you fold the backpack
or extend the hands. However, to ensure a smooth and easy transformation
there are two areas where it is important that you transform the toy in the
correct sequence and these are: -
1.
The removal & attachment of the legs in fighter mode.
2.
The locking together of the torso in battroid mode.
Nothing will break if you try to transform the
above-mentioned two areas in the wrong way, just you will find transformation
much more difficult.
However, one area where you need to take extreme
care is when disconnecting the chestplate from the nose section. This is the
one area of the toy where breakage
could result if you do not transform it correctly. Remember, ALWAYS PUSHDOWN ON THE CHEST PLATE when connecting & disconnecting the chestplate to
the fighter nose and your toy will be fine.
By the way, in case you are all wondering, that is
my wife Amy, in many of the photos (I was behind the camera).
