NOW LISTEN PLEASE. I am not going to tell you to take your mint in box $900 VF-1S Strike Valkyrie and change it into a VF-1D. The bottom line is you do this transplant at your own risk. Chris and I assume no responsibility for anything you may break on disassembly or any devaluation you experience when making that VF-1S Armored Elintseeker Hybrid you dreamt of last night. These intructions are just a guide-follow them at your own risk. This is a strong toy and if you break something you need to slow down and take a few deep breaths Hercules.

| 1) Open and flatten Valkyrie into position as shown. 2) Remove 3 upper screws and separate the upper body. 3) Extend the front landing gear |
4) This shows upper body separation 5) Remove bottom screw and GENTLY lift off the lower fuselage. |
6) We are in pieces now! Don't worry about the front landing gear lock-we'll put that back on reassembly |
 |
 |
 |
| 7) Loosen screw holding the spring a few turns and gently lift off landing
gear off the perch. At this angle it will unhook from the spring easily. 8) Remove the screw completely and turn the toy over so cockpit is facing up |
9) Remove the cockpit glass(it snaps out) and remove single seat 10) Here is the VF-1D 2 seat cockpit in place. |
11) Turn over cockpit and insert the screw holding the spring. Insert the landing gear lock as shown. Leave the screw a little loose, clip the landing gear back on(see step 7) and replace onto the perch |

| 12) When changing heads do not re-use the spring. It will place unneeded pressure on the resin screw boss. Attach the new head! | 13) Here is the correct position for the head mounting bracket. 14) Lay the legs back into the upper fuselage section 15) Slide the lower fuselage over the landing gear and secure it using the bottom screw(at the tip of the nosecone) |
16) Re-attach the upper body and secure the 3 upper screws. 17) Done!! Enjoy! |
