Thanks for that. So the "triangles" most people talk about are those tiny bits underneath the NUNS parts. If there was ever a part that cried out for diecast metal construction, that might be it.

Hopefully, Luca's 171 has the better plastic bits, rather than the CF's.

A while back, someone asked for pics of these parts. I second that request, please.

Better late than never.

If the 30th VF-1J ever get to $50 or thereabouts, I'll grab one to disassemble and soak in mineral spirits to get rid of the markings. Then I'll stare at the pile of white parts that remain and wonder what the hell to do with them.

25A. Not even close.

Finally got mine, love the color! Which wing configuration you like best?

Going to go against the flow, I like the back-swept, downward-canted canards the best. Pic #3.

Finally figured out what I don't like about this design, other than the forward-facing canards: too much fuselage, not enough wing. Battroid does look awesome though. No offense to those who do like it, I just never have and couldn't put my finger on what it was until talented people posted plane pics perfect for perusal.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Yeah, it'll probably be one weapon pod and the underwing missiles from the 171EX Super parts set. Then another pod and, hey, some 1/60 SMS ground crew! And another pod and maybe a new plastic stand to look like a revetment or something. By then, one of the Chronos' repaints, either Thrust or Skywarp, will become available, and the cycle of color-matched pods will begin again.

It's the circle of Frontier life.

I saw that. Gives me hope for an add-on pack containing new weapons - maybe large missiles - and underwing stores.

How does a webshop exclusive order work? Do you pay up front, or when it's shipped? Thanks!

Got my Super parts a couple weeks ago, just now got around to playing with them. For your approval:

Yes, but the difference in canard position and shape, difference in intake shape between Battroid and fighter, and Battroid's slender legs might not translate at all well into fighter. It just seems to me that, lacking replaceable parts, a compromise Valkyrie might be problematic.

Unless they use pliable rubber for... certain parts, a MAXL will be a parts-former like nothing else.

Thanks again Antibiotictab!

I did not know that. Don't own either of those. So there's precedent for this kind of thing.

Yes, but that's... clunky.

Thanks so much, Antibiotictab!!! How did it feel in hand? Sturdy? Floppy? Too stiff?

Mmm... priorities.

Is this a Valkyrie or a chiropractic patient?

Thanks for that! I think this is the weekend people will be able to actually handle the 30, so hopefully someone will give us an "hands-on" report.

They need to make the Supernova schemes first.

If I remember correctly you have to click the GERWALK-joint out one click and than click the lower legs one click upwards so everything is level again. It is basically the same as for the VF-1 Super/Strike-Parts.

Yep, that did it. Thanks Scyla!

Hi, I need help with my 25A Super parts. I know I've screwed up somewhere.

Basically, after all Super parts have been attached, the legs no longer fold and tuck in properly in Fighter mode, and the wings fit into the holes provided for the pegs in such a way that the wings are set at a fair dihedral. What have I done wrong? Do the legs need to folded differently, like the VF-1's did? Do the legs need to be pulled out to the Gerwalk position?

Please help! Thanks.

Well done. Bloody well done. How'd you do it, specifically, the paint?

Yeah, but...

"Don't worry , she'll hold together!"

*puts the 30 into crazy Gerwalk pose, feels joints creaking*

"Hear me, baby? Hold together!"

Hey all, tracking says my Super parts are in New York. Not much longer now...
