    If this has been discussed then gomenasai but I noticed that this set has an extra VF1J head with a colored visor(?)/scope or whatever terms applied. I have the 1st ish VF1J and am ambivalent at pulling off that head. Is the neck socket easy to detach?

    I've read here that the head has a ball socket and can easily be removed.

  2. Does anyone have any extra 1Ds? So...in a panic I sent A-E an email cancelling my PO. I thought I would get one cheaper from another site. I've emailed A-E a couple of times and even tried calling them to disregard by cancellation request and so far nothing.

    I still don't get what you mean. Do you mean it will be vertical on the wall, instead of on the "floor"?

    SSPS will be behind the Valkyrie flat on the wall. For the missiles it will be on a plane tilted downward along with the fighter. Just imagine that photo I attached and the fighter and missiles are on an inclined plane.

    There's this guy who makes all sorts of acrylic stands on FB. Remember when Bandai previewed the SSPs and they were displayed attached to a wall? I was wondering if there would be any interest in getting a stand/ display for SSPs like that.

    I have a few ideas for the SSPS.

    1. is a blow up kind of display. 2. a wall stand like wall gun rack.

    Missiles:

    1. Valkyrie fighter mode in the back and missiles in front of it laid out in a fan like configuration.

    2. or in-flight missiles with individual stands.

    With the fan like formation i think it could be a acrylic tray with slots for the missiles and a stand in the middle which can be swiveled down or up. I think it will look pretty neat inside a Detolf display case.

    Since this is a custom build it would be more cost effective if more would sign up for it. I would really appreciate your thoughts on this project.

    Please be specific.

    1/48 Bandai DX Chogokin? Unlikely to get at below $300 as SSP alone is roughly $150 a set

    1/60 scale from Arcadia or Yamato? V1/V2?

    1/100 Bandai HMR? 

     

    Edited my description. thanks for pointing it out. Yeah, I'm looking for the Valk if possible to get it around $300.
