Even though I have two po's I'm not super duper excited about this one lol. It's just another 29 recolored. Kinda wish the B meant something (kinda like the super duper awesome vf-0B. full double seaters ftw)
Bought this one on impulse. I'll actually be putting the armor on a VF-1s that appears to be missing one of its leg fins (bought it used along with super armor for like 8000 yen last year off Yahoo Auctions)
As for grey visor... Nothing a little paintbrush and lacquer paint can't fix.
Yeah I think the same. The hi-metals are impressive for 1/100 but people shouldn't be expecting DX chogokins or yammies despite the preorder shenanagins on this cheaper toy.
aaand. it's gone again.
This wasn't using the "trick", I was actually just searching by hi-metal and it popped up as add to cart O_o
Get the feeling there will be many unfulfilled orders if people keep making bogus orders
If that's really the production shade of plastic they are using it'll be really nice as it won't be the same strong white used in the 1st hi-metal 1J, which was super prone to yellowing.
If you've ever built the VF-1 Kit you'll see it's pretty much a no go as the piece that locks the canopy in is secured by two pegs which are glued in. Pretty much removing that piece requires an exacto knife at min and you're not gonna get it off without some damage and maybe even slicing the pegs.
Feels like Evolution Toy is the unknown kid that asks the pretty girl out to Prom out of the blue.
Whether he ends up being a prince or crashes and burns in epic fashion, I guess we'll need to wait until the dance to find out.
Any hobby is a money sink. I Just tell my SO that she should be glad I don't collect cars or something
Back on Topic, it's gonna be fun having some CF's around. I wonder if they'll at least include the transparent green canopy like on the brera?
My Plan when I get mine is....
Had lots of luck removing tampo with it before, and it's worked on Bandai tampo (i tried it on a spare 171 CF wing and it stripped it easy)
afterwards I'll whip out my Iwata airbrush and masking tape
