do not disturb Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 the shoulder is a bit weird. the shoulder pads/blades seems to be in the way, restricting movement of the arms. the secret is to release the shoulder pads(whatever you want to call it). if you take a look into the shoulder pad, you can see theres a hinge inside of it. it looks like it doesnt move but it does. once you release it(by pull the shoulder pad down 90 degrees), push the shoulder pad back up and lock it into somewhat the same position. if you do it correctly, it will create 1-2mm of space between the fuselage and the shoulder joint so that the shoulder pad/blade isn't rubbing up against the fuselage. hope that helps and make sense.

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Any news on an Ivanov reissue yet? Now that I know the Nora is flawless, I'm ready for DD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfx Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Nora for me was an improvement over Ivanov....but i spotted a few problems on mine. 1.) Execessive paint used for mono-eye till some fell on the face below the mono-eye forming Dual mono-eyes! I used an art knife and chiseled off the extra paint. No biggie. 2.) Wings are tight....but probably too tight near the backpack area. I couldn't fold it 90 degrees like I could on the Ivanov and didn't dare to push it further. No biggie either.

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I always prefer "too tight" than "sagging/floppy", so that's good news to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hands are looking better with each subsequent release (my pet peeve with previous yamatos) and pretty much everything else in my list is being crossed out. I got one to add though. Prices. It's about the only thing really that makes it totally sweet and honestly it's something I don't think we can expect until a competitor comes into the picture. Anyway, good job Yamato. Bravo. P.S.

Atheonyirh Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I just got my SV-51 Nora type, and I'm wondering if there's any particular trick to getting the hands tucked into their cubby slots on the leg. In fighter mode, one sits normally in its place, but the other seems to 'spring' back out slightly, with the cover not sitting flush to the leg.

David Hingtgen Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I have the same issue with one hand, never figured out why though---I constantly compared to make sure they both had the fingers the exact same way, but one never wanted to stay in place. Except once. Don't know how, but I got it in place. For a while at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except once. Don't know how, but I got it in place. For a while at least. It's driving me nuts because, like you did, I've been comparing the one that fits in right to the one that doesn't and everything is the same. Oh well.

charger69 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 (edited) Guys, while searching about SV-51, I found this japanese company's website: Frex Toys http://www.frextoys.co.jp/index.htm VF-1 and SV-51 http://www.frextoys.co.jp/works.htm#kikaku Looks like they are giving the CAD or similar service to YAMATO. Could one of our japanese friends or any MWer who can understand japanese check this site and explain what's going on there Edited February 7, 2008 by charger69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
