    Any suggestion on how to remove stress mark like this?

    Try to find someone with an SMD rework station if you have any electronics geeks or makerspaces in your life. It can precisely control the temperature of the hot air as well as being a pinpoint application of the heat. If the hair dryer didn't work, I'd be hesitant to work it with something as broad as a heat gun. Chyll2's suggestion of paint would probably be the way to go if you can't get to an SMD kit. Good luck!

    Ya know, they're neat toys and all, but to pay that kind of money is ludicrous. For that much, you could hire someone like the toy hunter guy to find you one for a finder's fee, or contract someone to design and build your own. With all the third party TF makers and companies like Experten out there, the resources exist.

    Totally agree. I just picked up a Milia 1J on a Japanese auction for waaaaaay less than that one, even with half the cost going to fees and shipping. Still, it does seem like the aftermarket prices just keep going up by the same group of HK and Japan based sellers making it seem like that's where prices have normalized. I think looking at ones that have actually sold and prices in the for sale forum are way more reasonable, if a bit higher than a couple of years ago.

    if the house was burning i'd grab my vf-4g and the sdf-1 1/3000 and then the vf-x and then the vf-1s 30th dyrl roys and then the vf-1d w/ option parts and then the max vf-1s weatherings and then the kaki weathering, and then the 25s ozma. if i had any 171 cf i'd leave them to burn.

    LOL - maybe you could fill the CFs with baking soda and vinegar and use them like old timey fire fighting grenades. Throw them at the fire hoping the chemical reaction will put it out. Note their valiant sacrifice, and hope Bandai does them a better v2!

    You have to sign up for their email list. The link only works from the email. You can't search it on their site for some reason. Learned that the hard way.

    ...I had to go digging for it this time. My email never came.

    I do get the emails, but must have lost this one to the bit bucket. Thanks again!

    Hoarder/collector same thing right? :lol:

    Its good that you are keeping the YF-25, now you won't have to go through regret if you sold/traded it. :)

    John Hodgeman once said that the line between a collector and a hoarder is a display case. And that's exactly what I told my wife when I bought some more shelves for this and the 1/48 MM that are on the way...

    Great pictures, Saburo!

    Anyone notice their decal sheet with the white off register? Mine looks like they loaded it backwards for that pass of the silkscreen. Just wondering if it's a whole batch or if I just got "lucky." Sweet bird otherwise - thanks!
