Thanks for the other replies. I'm still on the fence, I really like the look of the HMR's but they're a lot smaller than what I was looking for, partsforming the landing gear doesn't sound like a big deal to me.
I just sold my VF-1J 1/55 a couple months back because it wasn't as poseable as I wanted.
I'm trying to sell my Yamato 1/60 Ver.1 VF-1A because I want something a bit more solid/stable and I'd rather not have to partsform major components.
I've got a 1/48 Yamato that I think I'd be pretty happy with If I could repair the backpack but I'm not finding any repair options.
