    Whoooo! Finally!

    Now watch that price be $50 like the VF-4 was! WHOOOoooooo... Wait...

    C'mon, Hasegawa, get on it!

    I was resigned to that fact when I saw "Wave" but I don't care as much when it's the only game in town, and a resin kit would be more AND more difficult to build.

    Late to the game.
    Is there a 1:72 Max and Milia for the Hasagawa kits?
    would be so cool to get the wedding dressed pilots 

     

    Theres a few one on shapeways to go with  Hase's two-pack with both a red and a blue molded VF-1J

    Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

    +1

    I've been wishing, but never thought it'd actually happen... THANK YOU WAVE!!!!

    now if it doesn't cost $50 per kit that'd be extra sweet, but either way, they're getting my money for multiples!!

    Razor Crest!!!!

     

    Edit - whenever I have similar decisions I always think about what will be (relatively) easier to track down and/or afford on the after market.

    If I had to bet, I'd bet that the VF-4 regular or premium may go up by let's say $50-$100 3 to 6 months after release, the Razor Crest is going to freaking skyrocket.

    good points, and I'm willing to repaint one of the older Yammie/Arcadia VF-4G's...

    <Waves hand, like some sort of Jedi>:  This is the way.  

    ;)

    I have 11 days to determine if this is, in fact, the way... but a 30" Razor Crest would make a very nice Christmas/Birthday gift to myself...:ph34r:

     

    edit: I didn't realize it included  Lone Wolf and Cub  Mando and The Child... *loud/sustained indecision noises*

    I'm just curious and its always good to know for future reference.  Since sqidd has already applied CA glue to the break, does he need to completely remove the CA glue before applying a new glue?  :unknw:

    Yes, but being CA that should be relatively easy. Any left on the repair surface would (one presumes) inhibit a plastic-welding agent. CA is very brittle, so it should scrape off without even marring the plastic with some caution.

     

    In the Warhammer 40K world, it's advisable to attach arms, weapons etc. with CA: if you drop a mini the CA bond will break, not the arm/weapon, then just scrape-off the old CA (for fitment reasons) and re-do the joint, good as new.

    Devcon Plastic Welder should work just fine. Not only does it bond very strongly (3500 psi strength), but it comes in black and cream, and fills any gaps left behind from breakage.

    Devcon is also a winner. That stuff glues most everything to most everything else. Used to use it where I worked. To bond metal to plastic. Once dried you needed to grind it off to get rid of it.

    I've never heard of Devcon before, but after a quick google it sounds like some top-shelf stuff! I'll have to see if I can procure some...

     

     

    Out of curiosity @sqidd, what's the nature of the breakage? is it the muzzle-section of the barrels? I can see any repair to that point being (relatively) weak considering the tiny surface area(s) involved... especially if you attempted a CA repair. Or is it someplace else on the cannon?

    In general the more surface area the better for any repair job with solvents/glues.
