Apologies for the phone camera, but ever since I saw this configuration, I've wanted to do it, and I've never seen anyone post it on here...

It's the red, white, and blue! Episode 14 special!! With a black gunpod. Because why would anyone want a lavender gunpod?

Yeah the darker gun pod color looks a lot better eh!

And im honna have to re-watch Frontier as i totally cant remember Alto using Michaels super parts! Looks very cool though! ;)

I remember that scene, he did equip Michael super together with Fold booster that was lying around in SPACE

That is a mean group of kids. Good thing they have a chaperone.

And gunmetal is better than purple.

Man those kids get the cool stuff. ;)

nice squad! don't like purple guns?

I like the purple guns, but I like the gunmetal ones even more. :D The purple gunpods were given to the CF pilots. :lol:

You need your daily amount of swooshing.

Mahalo!

I got three Ozmas and three CFs so I can totally do the gunmetal thing too! The non-lavender gunpods are much better by far so screw canon :p

Nice pics, Saburo :)

Thanks! Give the lavender gunpods to the CF pilots. :p:lol:

A few more pics:

Saburo I must ask, you painted ozma's armor black right? Doesn't it come in gray like altos? Either way amazing shots!!

Thanks DWN013, and no I did not paint Ozma's armor. It comes molded in a dark blue/grey color.

Awesome shots, Saburo! Makes me want to complete my Skull Squadron as well. Total rockstars they are!

Thank you. They are awesome. I wanted the 25G with Tornado Parts but the wings are too large to fit in my Detolf with another Valk. :(

I made the 25F in fighter with tornado and the VF-27 in battroid. The 25F is on a flightpose stand though, I am pretty sure a small arm yeti stand could do the same

I have a 25G Tornado and 26G Super displayed in fighter mode on a yetistand and it fits nicely on a detolf shelf. When I tried 25G Tornado and a 25F armored in battroid mode, there was no room to display both nicely on a detolf shelf. :(

I have the same problem with my VF-25G so I removed the engine nacelles and stored them behind the Valkyrie. I think the design would have benefited from a rotation to move them out of the way. Instead the Tornado Messiah is just to wide for his own good. ^_^

I agree. I thought the Armored parts took up quite a bit of space, but after the Tornado pack the Armored parts look really compact. :p

Wow, brave. I don't dare leave the Tornado Parts on my 25's. There's just too much flexing for me to feel safe leaving them on. I had to settle for Super parts and the Tornado cannons for my G in Battroid and an in-atmosphere bare Gerwalk with the cannons attached for my Alto.

I have it displayed in fighter mode. I have checked on it a few times and its holding up well.

I have a 25A with Alto's tornado parts on its bandai stand (lower orientation) plus a 171cf bare on its bandai stand (higher orientation). They just about fit together on a shelf in the detolf.

Can't post a pic as I'm miles away from my babies. :(

Apparently I'm a liar lol! Bottom right.

Thanks, yeah it's really cool and was a fun build.

Shame I couldn't get the Tumbler on there aswell. ;)

Regarding how the Tornado wings are holding up, I think the fix that Saburo posted is a great help in keeping the wings from flexing. Thanks again for that mate. :)

Saburo's fix for Tornado is magical, I must thank you for it too ;)

I could get the Armored 25s together with the 25F "Atmosphere version" Tornado (I much prefer this version compared to the complete version).

Anyway, if you get the 25F much higher, I am pretty sure you can have the Full Tornado to fit into the space.

Glad it the fix is working well for you, mine are still holding up.

Glad to help with the Tornado fix.

Ah that works, I was trying to get both the Tornado and Armored to fit in Battroid mode.

Here's the current setup.
