I have been a good noob and searched the forum, but haven't found an answer. I just picked up the first generation 1/60 Yamato VE-1 Elintseeker. I'm having some trouble with the battroid mode heat shield. I'm having trouble sliding the breastplate down over the back-seater's head. If I remove the heat shield, the breastplate slides down nicely, but the pilots are exposed to enemy fire, and that's bad. With the heat shield in place, I'm scared to force the breastplate to flex upwards in order to slide into position so the locking latch fits into the little notch on the heat shield. I've got another 1/60 (with the GBP-1 armor) and I don't have this problem. It looks like the sculpt is different due to the two-seat cockpit. Any suggestions how I can transform this guy without breaking anything?

Great Big Pectorals.

For them what is interested, the Block 60 F-16's will be getting conformal fuel tanks, developed by the Israelis. F-16 with CFTs in Israeli livery The Greeks are also purchasing an F-16 with an avionics box that runs along the dorsal centerline, from behind the cockpit to the vertical tail fairing. I had the privilege of seeing one at the LMCO assembly plant in Ft. Worth. That was a neat tour. : ) Now, if they'd just hire me....
