Sadly I had planned for this. Imagine having to do work on a 300 dollar toy if there was a hasegawa 1/48 yf-21 fighter I would rather have gotten that Removed Antenna Did several passes of heat gun followed by quickly clamping with a non-textured plastic clamp It's not 100% but at least it passes the shelf-check and stress mark is gone (but the stress mark to my heart will never fade)
-
A lot +1 got mine today from Kappa Hobby. (-_-)
-
The instructions were pretty clear but the head is on pretty tight. The other issue is the antennae interferes with getting the valk on the fighter stand unless you angle it just right so it's easy to get pressure on it from either you or the stand if it's not in the right place :0 Bandai shuolda just made it a solid ABS peg unglued so it could turn freely
-
I also broke mine when I was turning the head. Luckily some drilling with a 1mm bit on a pin vise and a paperclip and krazy glue later it's stronger than factory XD
-
Also the fact that I bought many of my Yamato V2's back during the $60 fire sale days of late Yamato XD
-
It's not that there's no interest in the line, it's that there's a good amount of people who don't want to invest in another different scale VF-1 line as well as some people who aren't on board with the 'loud' black panel-lining look. If I didn't already have Yamato V2's, Hi-metals and DX VF-1's I'd totally pick up this line
-
amazing work. I will be stealing that recipe for those colors or my Aoshima reactive ingrams
-
maybe somewhere along the assembly line somebody is pushing down on the valk or the valks are put upside down in a hard surface :0
-
It's a good thing these are fictional aircraft then cuz it's been this way for 40 years Even Tenjin isn't immune
-
Artpla are just remastered / improved versions of the older soft vinyls but in plastic I thought. They look amazing but sadly I don't have as much time to invest in large-scale models like that and will stick to casual moderoids that only need a few parts painted here or there. I guess for now for anyone that does want high quality premades Robodou is basically the only game in town atm as Bandai ungloriously abandoned their side labor series years ago
-
damit shawn now I can't unsee it
-
Using a chrome/silver base with Tamiya Clear Red matches the tail light red pretty well
-
I'm kinda surprised the Cyclone is a partsformer with those separate chest and crotch armor pieces
-
Bandai went so hard for that nostalgia with one of their F90III promos
-
It's good for people who want to use DYRL packs non skull squadron valks because they want the option of the non Canon Strike variants such as the Strike VF-1D from the 80's model art. Also for people who lack Tv packs because they got screwed by NY like me who never got my 3 tv packs Just gotta sacrifice one set of badges on your strike packs because yamatos stickers are slightly see thru so you'll need to erase the old badge with some thinner.
-
Who knew Yamato fastpack stickers fit dx fast packs perfectly?
-
It works if you are patient and wait for the molotow to fully cure before applying acrylic tamiya clear. There is a very slight dulling but you still end up with a very metallic color. I learned it from my friend that does the technique for all his tail lights on 1/24 model cars. I'm going to apply molotow tomorrow when I get home from work and then apply the clear a day later and will document the results in this thread
-
Dangit now I need to paint my wingtips. It's time for some Molotow chrome markers followed by tamiya clear blue/red and then some gloss varnish
-
Man they need to reissue the dx weapon packs
-
A big plus of that hase YF-21 is no bent head laser out of the box 😁
-
Saw this pop up just now. nice to see it finally coming out
-
The tabs work pretty well on my copy so my arms stay in place really well in fighter. I stole an unused gunpod off one of my armored valks and it helps the arms stay aligned a little better when their on the new tabs to boot.

The 'Hey look at this really cool model build I saw' post
Duymon replied to Shawn's topic in Model kits
That's just unreal -
Man I really hope this sold well because after wooshing mine around the house for a day I now want an Elintseeker. Also still waiting for the rest of DYRL skull squadron and a DYRL Roy and Max 1S
