Cool custom, Too bad you have to sell it. Any Plans on adding Max in Tux and Milia in wedding dress pilot figures?

I'm thinking about it but I'm not sure if I can fit that Millia in a wedding dress and still make it fit in the cockpit. Guess it doesn't have to be perfect right?

Oh yeah... anyone out there want to sell me one of their 1D kits as well as maybe extra 1/48 pilots???

This has been a long time in the making. It has taken me many many months in completing this since the only spare time I have is in between commissions. Instead of doing an orange VF-1D trainer, I decided to go a different route. I'm a fan of the color blue so I went ahead and used John Moscato's kit for this conversion into a Virgin Road valk. I also went with blue lens instead of the normal green. Figured I can try to make something stand out in all of that blueness within the valk. I believe the head scheme isn't supposed to be that way but I really didn't care. I wanted to have a little "trainer" feel to it. Let me know what you all think... good or bad.

BTW,,, Just a FYI... this will be going to Evilbay within a week or so.

I'd like to give a shout out to Gabe Q for selling me this kit and also to the Captain for such an awesome straight forward VF-1D kit. Can't get any sweeter than this.

I'd like to give a shout out to to177 for those excellent VF-1Js and also to Valk009 for the CF. Great communication guys and thanx for the valks!

I'm looking for a John Moscato 1/48 VF-1D conversion kit,,, preferrably the white version if possible but I'll take all the other colors as well if there is any. LMK if anyone has one.

As promised, here are some battroid pictures of Jetfire. For some reason I couldn't find my heatshield for it so that's the reason why it isn't in the picture.

For the TV arm armors, I doubt anyone would want to trade that for a set of DYRL arm armors. But if anyone's sane enough to want to trade, I'm always up for them.

Not bad, but you're using the wrong arm armor. Jetfire came with TV arm armor, you're using DYRL arm armor.

Thanx everyone for the compliment. Battroid pics to come tomorrow with the correct head and red lens. Just a FYI... this is not the final coating. It's why there's still a gloss to it.

Reason why it's the wrong armor is becoz I did NOT want to use one of my TV super armors. Think about it,,,, would YOU want to use one of your TV arm armors for this considering they don't sell them as standalones????? The DYRL FPs are an abundance so why not right? Minor imperfections but I can live with it.

Yes, I always find that Autobot insignia distracting but I figured that's 'cause I was always more of a Robotech/Macross fan. That said, it just doesn't feel like Jetfire without it. Have you considered just replacing the skull emblem with the autobot insignia (on the heatshield)? I would say either do that or use a smaller more tasteful autobot emblem on the nosecone.

Yeah I am going to put the Autobot insignia on the heatshield. Again I'm just waiting for the sticker sheet to arrive. I'll try a smaller size insignia on the nosecone before committing or not. I guess it's like you said,,,, it bothers me a little but that's just me.

Anyone order from Reprolabels.com before? I think that's the website which I placed my order. Wish someone here would do those sticker sheets instead... especially Takatoys. His is thin and real impressive for being stickers!

I think the stickers are nice but you're missing the autobot sticker on the nose! The gold isn't my thing but it does strike me as "transformery" for some reason.

I'm waiting for a set of Autobot sticker sheet to arrive so that I can apply it to the FP including the one that goes on top of the 1S head. Not sure if I should apply it to the nosecone but here's my question.... Is that Autobot insignia on the nosecone a distraction to some of you? Just curious as I'd like some opinion and feedback on this if you don't mind.

Reason I wanted the verniers to be gold is that I wanted this to stand out. For example, if you were to put this Jetfire smack in the middle of a hundred Macross valks, it should be the one that you notice first and foremost. Hope that answers everyone's questions as to why it's gold.

Looks pretty good, my only gripe is that it really doesnt need all those stickers.

I couldn't help it. I have all these miscellaneous Anasazi decals lying around so I put it to use. It was either leave it plain jane or decal it up and since I don't know of anyone who produces Transformers waterslide decals, I just went with various Macross decals instead.

It's not completely done yet but I just wanted to see what everyone thinks here. I haven't been on for many moons here and have just recently started picking up my toys again. I've been really busy with other things in my life and it's rather good to be back here. Anyway, I've added my own little kicks and I've also tried staying true to the original Takara/Hasbro Jetfire. The 1S head that's on it is temporary only until I can get a replacement. I also may end up putting this thing on Ebay at the end of this coming week if anyone's interested. Sorry for no battroid pics,,, got a little lazy at the end and didn't want to transform it. I'll post some pics of it in battroid mode eventually in a day or so if anyone's interested.

I want to thank Cube for the VF-1J he sold me and the super quick shipping from Canada!

Have lots to thanx for.

falcon14141 for the CMS figure

Macross73 for the alternators

emerson for the macross kit

meh cd for the TF mirage

want to commend Major Tom for the excellent communications, shipping and deal on the joke machine.

you probably didn't push the trap door with the hook in far enough. here's a pic to show what i mean. maybe that will help.

here's some pics of my 1/60's somewhat busted shoulders graham. i took the liberty of checking my 0A thoroughly and of course there's stress marks and a "Y" hairline crack on the same shoulder. i've only transformed this valk into battroid mode and it has stayed that way ever since... same goes with my two 0S valks. talk about fragile shoulders.

just like the title says. looking for two Roy CM's cockpit and wondering if anyone happens to have the toynami max mini-bust statue. drop a post here or a PM.

Aren't half the shoulder complaints coming from 0A owners?

i doubt it's half of the 0A owners. more like all of the 1/60 zero owners were they to inspect theirs. i just checked both my 0S that are on display today and all shoulders including lefts and rights have white stress marks on them. mind you i don't even play with these and i've only transformed them from fighter to battroid mode for display. i have NOT moved the shoulders till today. it's been like that since the day i've bought them... yet, still there are stress marks.

Thanx to Los for the YF-19s, goldenboy forever for the Max 1J, and Toydeals888 for all the valks i preordered.

this goes out to a good friend Jole for all the PG gundams he sold me. best deal of the century.

looking for one if anyone is interested in getting rid of theirs?? PM me or drop in a line here.

giving a shout out for Chewie for that MP he sold me. excellent communications there! thanx buddy!

a big thanx to Mechamaniac and Laroy. received them all this weekend!
