After some test fitting, I found that the edge of the canopy is warped and does not sit flush against the cockpit. I think my only option now is to find a replacement canopy. I have about ten other unbuilt Hase valk kits I could take a canopy from but, eventually, I'm gonna need a new canopy. Does anybody have one they can spare? I'll make it worth your while.

A little disaster occured. I spilled my Tenax all over my work table. Unfortunately, my canopy for my Hasegawa valk got covered in it. Now my canopy is all foggy and melted along the edges. I don't know if I can salvage it. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

I have two. Now I'm kind of upset because I dont want to build such a rare kit.

I saw an auction in ebay earlier and the guy claims that only 2000 of the VF-1D kits were ever produced. I doubt the run was that low. How many were really released?

Has anyone else gotten their kit yet? Any comments? I haven't gotten mine yet and I'm really excited to get it. Every day that it doesn't arrive is agony.

I guess I'll just wait then. I think Haterist is right.

HLJ is not accepting any more pre-orders. Does anybody know where else I can pre-order from? Who's the most reputable dealer?

Yes! The Pilot. Must... have... the pilot. Cap, Are you gonna do the pilot next or the Yamato VF-1D mod?

She's lookin' real good...

That made me laugh uncontrollably. Thanks, now I'm really embarrassed cuz everybody's looking at me funny.

OMG. You actually considered price? With all of the Gazillion valks you currently have, price was actually a consideration at one point? Well, I guess you're human after all. Or at least you were at one point.

Some moron actually paid you $260 for it? You are talking USD right? Even in Canadian dollars, you ahve to be a complete muppet to pay that much for a Master Peice of Crap. Yes. Here's proof: MPC Auction

I sold my MPC Roy a while back for $260. I never looked regretted it.

They finally got you.

Thanks for the link Valk-1S. You can see that it says TV in the Photo so im thinking it'll come with a TV pilot and hands. YES!!!

It doesn't matter what Yamato labels it as. I doubt they are going to sculpt a TV 1A head. So if the box says 'TV version', it'll still have the DYRL version head. Just like the 1/60 TV cannon fodder. It says right on the box 'TV version' but the valk has a DYRL head. Personally, despite the head issue, I hope they release it as a TV version so it comes with a TV pilot and hands. edit: typo

This is something I hope gets made. I have a few other things higher on the priority list but these destroids are definitely neede in 1/72 scale. I'm extremely happy The Cap decided to make the Regult because that was at the top of my list. As everyone knows, there is an existing kit in 1/72 scale but, like the destroid kits, they're very hard to find and aquire. There will definitely be a market for new high quality destroid kits in 1/72 scale.

That's where I ran into trouble, too. I went to Michael's and they have a huge selection of stuff. I didn't know what to get.

Who specifically has an 80x80 avatar? In the for sale section, check out the low viz w/ fast packs thread. There, I noticed jezter101 and mibmz have larger avatars.

How come some people on this board already have an 80 x 80 avatar?

Is that near Podunk? Pretty close, The Town of Soddy Daisy, Tennessee has one grocery store, a few used car lots and a mexican restaurant, ....Oh and a Super Walmart: I was just wondering because I live in BFE.

Is that near Podunk?

Those look really great. I agree with ewilen, although I can't state it as eloquently, it reminds me of the old box art. I wish I could paint like that. Imagine what you could do with the The Cap's new Regult!

I like this one>>>

That's the funniest shite I heard in a long time.
