I think it was determined that they do not work. More importantly, I want to know if the Bandai hands fit on Yamato. 50 minutes ago, gerwookie said: I like the lighting on this one. Nice! Thanks! Lighting is so tough for me and the key to good photography. I’ve been trying some new techniques on these. 33 minutes ago, MKT said: Agreed.. Nice one @Slave IV!

If you gently use a file to enlarge the openings of the yamato missiles they fit just fine.

Slave IV Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Just curious, has anyone had the wrong shoulder joint issue on their 1A? It doesn't seem very widespread at all but good to know about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardlyNever Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Got mine from AJ today. Packaging was pretty lackluster; no packing materials, and the tape was coming open on one side of the box. The valk box was just kind of sliding around in there... Contents seems fine, though. I'll have a chance to open it up and check it out later tonight.

vlenhoff Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 13 hours ago, Lolicon said: I'm with @Roy Focker. How did we ever live with those awful 1/60 toys? They look like Gundam kits from the early 1980s. I personally think they both look gorgeous. To me the legs look better on the 1/60, while the knees and intake area take the price for the Bandai 1/48. You can't beat the amount of tampo on the 1/48, but with a little patience you can get close with stickers on the 1/60. I prefer the feet on thw 1/60 as well. BTW is that just a seam on the Bandai, or is it the foot design. Good panel lining & weathering on the 1/60 @Lolicon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just rando newspaper advertisements for some electronics-related stuff. NY packing is really rando. Most of my packages from NY come in nice green bubblewrap , but once in a while it gets packed with JP newspaper stuff which is always a surprise.
