Got it, Thanks! An unrelated question, sorry for going off topic here, but since this is such a hot thread... The leg piece of the GBP armor for VF-1J has some very noticeable scratches, upon on arrival. It's caused by friction with the plastic packaging. Do you know any easy way to polish it or buff out the scratches without damaging the paint? It's dark blue color but I don't want to re-paint it ( I am not very good with that).

Thanks for such quick reply!! The repair video starts with the wings already taken off. How do you do that?

First of all, great job VF5SS!!! I have a few questions: 1. Is there a way to tell if the shoulder hinge has potential problem by looking at the toy, before crack marks appear? The ones I am concerned are: VF-1J Hikaru with Armor Parts of May 2010 release, VF-1S of June 2010 release, and VF-1J Mass Production of July 2009 release. Are they supposed to be the "safe" "fixed" versions? Can you be so kind to tell me which one may be the "unsafe" version? I definitely want to order some shoulder hinges for backup but don't want to go crazy in terms of amount... 2. Are White and White Polish same color? does the unpolished one have coarse surface? Which one do you recommend? 3. Will the original metal pin damage the replaced new hinge? What kind of pin do you recommend, any specs? My first post and load of questions....LOL....Thanks so much for your help!
