thanks for the tip. I know, there are times when the cockpit locks in and when I try to pose it, it comes out again. It's my first model kit in 15 yrs and I guess it will be my last for some time. I'll stick to the DX

well, here's my model kit that i've completed and applied decals

here's a pic of my completed 1/72 alto custom. I must add that I am not a modeler myself and this is the first model kit that I've built in 15 yrs! First impression is that bandai has created a work of art. All the parts fit in snugly without any glue required. I'm an amateur modeler and it took me about 3 to 4 hours complete. It's very addictive, u start with the cockpit and then the arms and then the legs. Before I knew it, it was already 12am and I just had to complete it cause I wanted to see how it transformed. Once the whole jet was fully assembled, the transformation process really surprised me. It felt sturdy and not like it was going to fall apart. It was really worth it! If u'd ask me, this will be the last model kit I'll be assembling for a long time to come. I think I'll stick to the DX for the time being.

here's a size comparison between the 1/72 model kit and the 1/60 DX and here's one with the 1/60 VF-1S

as far as i know in malaysia, only one toyshop carried the DX series and i managed to get my VF-25S from them coz someone else bought the VF-25F. Yes, due to the limited numbers of VF-25S imported, the shop sold it in a pair system. Kinda sucky, especially if it cost USD 158 per piece. I was lucky to get my hands on the VF-25S
