Skull-1 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) I realize this is the same custom but I wanted to show you the two swing bars I have trimmed down. The blue one is longer than the skyblue one. They will be incorporated on the appropriate Valks. I put the color mismatched bar on first for contrast. Hope you like this. It sure makes a difference in the appearance of the Valkyrie. Swing Bar Images I thank my lovely assistant, Charlie (my daughter) for her help.

Skull-1 Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) After looking at these pics I can't help but ask myself..... "Why didn't Bandai do them like this to begin with?" Is anyone out there customizing the 1/55 re-issues? Sure looks like OPEN SEASON on Jetfire toys. I guess they are so cheap that they are better candidates for customization. I prefer the shorter nose. Looks more aerodynamic when you file it down... But that's just me I know.

Oddly Jetfire toys on eBay in the U.K still fetch a big price. It`s still cheaper for me to buy them on U.S eBay and have them shipped to the U.K. Anyway on with the mods.
