Sandman Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 What are those different shade of green dyrl valks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker773 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 2 customs before the official Kakizaki release. Someone on the forum painted them. One was suppose to be more DYRL color and the other one series color. There was a debate years ago bout the right color. So might as well have all the variations..

Loop Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) To this day, my favorite Valkyrie toy, the one I would save over all others if came down to it, is my Yamato 1/48 VF-1A Low Visibility (grey) Color Limited Edition. For me it's a toss up between the low vis and the stealth super. I have my stealth super in fighter mode and currently my low vis v1 in battroid mode. When I get around to it I'll put my low vis back in fighter mode. I really do think the 1/48's have one of the best fighter modes ever.

alvaro Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Mmm.. I still like them. It's like masterpiece of masterpiece, perfect transformation which i love most. Although they always stand inside my cabinet for years collecting dust as really rare touching them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZorClone Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I haven't had mine that long so thankfully not yet. but they never get any direct sunlight so hopefully that's helping. My very first one did, while stashed away in its box in a closet, as I mentioned above =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) 1:48 VF-1A Low Vis 1 for life. No other yamacadia valk has appealed to me as much as this one thus far...some 12+ years later The 1/48 is like the new Chunky Monkey for many of us Not as refined and beautiful as the new stuff but who cares when you have a bigass valk?

NOD Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I just recently started collecting the 48's, and, while they are now pretty friggin' expensive, I absolutely love them. No way do I see myself ever wanting to get rid of them. That being said, for the sake of my collection, I heartily endorse all of you out there MW-land who find that they're just not right for you anymore!

Mog Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Isn't that just the pilot for all the non-canon color-schemes? In any case, here's my 1/48 crew: It's a small group, but still good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) 1/48 still has some color options that the 1/60's never got. Stealth 1J, Stealth Packs, Low Viz 1/2, Low viz GBP and Urban GBP.... all awesome. I remember there were many members who preferred the Stealth Fast Packs to regulars on their 1/48's One thing I also miss on the 1/60's is that little Antennae in Gerwalk and the ability to store your missiles and/or intake covers inside your Micro Missile pods Edited April 29, 2016 by Duymon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I like 1/48's fighter proportions but I really dislike the wide canopy when viewed from the front. It's not that the new 1/60 ruinned the 1/48 for me but it's better proportioned in all three modes and the fit and finish is superior. I kept all my 1/48's, Roy's VF-1S wearing GBP, Strike VF-1S Hikaru. Super VF-1A Hikaru, Cannon Fodder wearing GBP, Low Viz I and Low Viz II. These are the essentails for me.

spanner Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I don't know how I haven't noticed it until now but do the arms actually stick out so far down in the 48's fighter mode!? or hasn't it been properly transformed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
