Mintox Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 My next kit will be the very nice and madly detailed kit from Hasegawa of the VF-25S. Some many pieces for a 1/72kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyll2 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I built the original VF-25F/S kit as my first ever Hasegawa (only built Bandai Gundam). And I would say, I really enjoyed building it back then. Are you going for ozma scheme (multiple shades of gray with yellow highlights) or custom schemes?

Mintox Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Most definitely. The instructions are a bit weird in there layout i.e. as the main instructions include the scheme for the VF-25F but the S versions is on a separate piece of paper and is the the Ozma grey scheme VF-25S. I just cant resist the big skull symbol anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mintox Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Finally made a start. The cockpit is a bit bland for such a lovely kit but I guess once the two body halves are glued together most of this wont be seen plus the hud? is added on later and the rear covered over.

Mintox Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Test fitting the booster and body parts. I love this kit. It has some of the sharpest and finest details for a 1/72 kit. I also just got a RVF-25 which I would love to add the extra armour and boosters to so I'm off to purchase another VF25S Super to steal the boosters.

mickyg Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I'd love to know how you go with the fit of the boosters on the RVF - specifically the backpack part. The DX toy actually uses a modified part here, as the spine on the RVF has the third leg of the radome mount here. It may foul on the backpack but should be easy to sort out with a file.

Ok a quick fit of the radome mount seems to me it will work. A little filing of the opening on the fastback pack and it'll fit sweet. On second thoughts maybe filing the top of the radome mount rear mounting leg might be a better option. Edited May 5, 2016 by Mintox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mintox Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Ok a bonus part in the kit (or at least I cant find it mentioned anywhere) that seems to go on the top of the front of the boosters as in the image below of the RVF Super. Its part no. SF1. Thats ok because I need a another Super Messiah so I'll get another one of these and I'll be able to add it to my RVF. Update: I think I know what this part is now. Its the Space Fold communications array. Nifty if that is what it is. I see it on the Bandai Ghost ships under the nose and on the boosters on the RVF's.
