Vi-RS

Even the V2 VF-1 is a major upgrade to the old 1/48, so I don't understand why people will deny it unless you are looking things in terms of size only. The tooling, fitment, proportion in scale, surface details, materials, paint job, additional joints are the reason it's a successor. I'm sure Bandai will do better, yet, from the pictures we have seen up to date.

Nobody is complaining about the scale of the pilot yet?

The shoulder joints are totally different from amacardia. The head telescopes in the fuselage pretty well, which reminds me scene when Hikaru was saving Hayes.

Did anyone see this?

I really should have un-followed this thread, and wait maybe I should not visit MW at all.

Ditto, Bandai really nailed it.

I'll go for the later. The Messer is K.

That is still a color filled up by someone else. The Yamato V2 appears to be on the red side in that picture, but it's a vivid orange yellow. Hasegawa suggests H24 for the orange. I think the Yamato is the best representation, especially the large bubble canopy that extends to the chest plate.

Yamato just killed it.

It's in the very early production until VT-1 IIRC. I still remember the day Graham was trying to help out the forumers here by distributing those hinges. I think everything after that are fixed, atleast what I have are problem free. Touch wood.

Can't wait to get my package. I still prefer the orange tone in Yamato V2. Anyone has one to place side by side?

Found another picture under direct natural light, not trying to create chaos but you can tell the discoloration which is greater than The Yamato.

Found these pictures on fb. Bandai should have followed what Yamato did by molding the plastic in orange with beige color painted. Wrong move.

That's the reason I hate 1/48 and love 1/60 V2, no modification is needed and the most complete line to date unless HMR beats it with more VF-1 variants. We all wanted to know how much further that Bandai will go for this Chogokin line.

HG is a big licence to pay.
