Finally acquired my first Yamato Valkyrie (hooray!!!!!!!!! ) a V2 Hikaru VF-1A with Super and Strike parts (which, surprise surprise, had broken shoulder joints out of the box. Had cockpit crackle too, but I can live with that). Borrowed my friend's replacement joints while he wasn't using them and mine are in transit, and boy are they a treat!
Ridiculously hard, my modelling file barely made scratches on their surface the whole hour I was working on them. Now, I have no fear transforming my Valkyrie between modes (and lend it to my clumsy friends if they wanna see it). Thank you sir! You have two Valkyrie owners who will back your fine product.
Bad James Bond puns? I am shaken AND stirred...
