I went with 000, 101, and 102F so that I could swap parts between the sets if needed. But if I could only choose one, I'd pick the 102F mainly because I prefer the weapons load for a CF. Tough choice though
I'm hoping the visor will look like the original photos on release. The translation says:
"The visor part is reproduced with clear parts and the mold is engraved on the back side."
The photos look like the engraving is in front. Still looking forward to this as it'll be my first Mospeada figure.
Nice! those are some great deals. Where did you get the Messer? I wasn't going to get one but I bit the bullet and got one at Ami for 5280.
Hope you can get one, CF anything is my favorite hehe. I'm hoping that they make the VF-1A Max and Kakizaki variant.
Glad it helped, yep, the CF is panel lined. I used Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color Brown. They aren't top coated as I kinda like the sheen of the plastic as it is.
Sorry, haven't had this happen to me.
I got in touch with Fexthobby about the 000, it looks like there was an error on their website. They just fixed it and it's available for order now along with the 102 and 303.
I just checked their inventory again and confirmed the current status of items. If you have any of the sold out ones in your cart, it automatically changes to no shipping. I hope the 000 comes back in stock again.
Looking forward to how these turn out, I ended up getting a 101 and 102F. These were the status of items last I checked
000 - Sold Out
001 - In Stock

102 - Sold Out

Looks great! I'm curious how the panel lining goes. I've tried enamels and also Flory's on my Arcadia V2's and could never get an even line due to the shallow lines. I read once before that Yamato intended the lines to be shallow...not sure why though.
Definitely excited for the VF-1A but do agree that it would've made more sense to just include all the parts to make it a 1S. Regardless...I"m still shelling out the dough for the 1A hehe. I do hope they make Max and Kakizaki versions someday.
