    I know there is a lot of criticism, but this kit is looking better each time! If they make the changes Vifam pointed out, all the better. I'm diggin the armament package too! I thought the folding knee piece looked awkward too. The original Imai Valks looked pretty good in that department and they didn't have that piece in there. My main concern is with all those parts that can move, they would eventually become loose; unless this becomes a mostly ABS kit? - MT

    The black DOES look good! To answer the questions about paints, here's the Tamiya (America - Japan is seperate) link for their paints and thinners: http://www.tamiyausa.com/articles/feature.php?article-id=72 As far as an isopropyl substitute goes, there really is none. I've heard people suggest Windex window cleaner or even trying booze! But booze is ethyl alcohol. I'd send you a bottle of IPA, but it's illegal to mail ;^( No, I'm not sending booze - MT

    Plastruct makes vacuformed sheets and one has a textured lunar like surface potholed with various craters. You might want to check it out (only catalog download): http://www.plastruct.com/Pages/OnlineCatalog.lasso - MT

    I missed out on this thread growing! Denatured alcohol does not work well with thinning or cleaning like isopropyl. I've found out the hard way. Iocidm, I DO know that the Tamiya Polycarbonate paints are dsesigned to flex. I've actually seen it sheet off plastic before (when an R/C car body was hammered - BADLY). I would stick with the enamel sprays even though the polycarbonates seems to be everywhere thanks to R/C cars being more popular. - MT

    The Bug Eye looks great Derex! I think the display and whole base look great! I love that kit. I'm getting the 1/350th version from Yeti/Neptune. Giving a cool ship some BIG love!

    It's still early looking at some spects, but I'm beginning to think if you took this and the OLD Imai transforming valk and swapped parts, you'd get the way it's supposed to look - just sayin' - MT

    Things are looking up on this. I LOVE the wepons selection and the hardpoints on the wings. Painitng something that can transform is an issue. I painted the original transforming Fokker decades ago and did not paint it overall, but left it the neutral white. Problems that STILL pop up are yellowing, especially on glue joints and scuffed decals - despite a clear cotaing. I'm throwing around using Solo plastic plates and cups plastic strips for the "paint". Try to scrape that off! Yes, it will be slightly raised, but it won't scrape off. Then there's that yellowing along the seems again... - MT

    That looks great! Please let us know when you're ready for sales and what price you're asking. I'm contemplating it. My 1/32nd figure would look cool against this! - MT
