Yeah, if it hadn't been for your photoshop mockup, I might have stupidly slapped them on the nose, then regretted it. Thanks again!
-
I know what you mean. I'm weathering just my DX VF-1. My YF-19, Hi Metal Monster and incoming YF-29 aren't getting the treatment. But they are a different scale, so different shelf amIright?
-
Fair point, but I think that placement (am I right to credit @Anasazi37?) works well and is pretty subtle. It would be tacky to just fill up the nose haha.

Roy started putting on kill marks, but ran out of room.
-
What did you use for the panel lining to give it that slight metallic sheen?
-
I definitely should have beat you to the punch on that
-
From the site: This is a set of 4 pilots for the DX VF-1 in 1:48 scale. There are 2 female pilots TV and DYRL styles and 2 male pilots TV and DYRL styles. NB: You may have to sand a bit more the butt of the pilot before painting to perfectly fit you valkyrie. @Anasazi37Couldn't you just get one set and paint the "TV male" as Roy and the (more slender but not noticeably busty) "TV female" as Hikaru? And do you paint miniatures yourself? My guy is not a fan of painting miniatures and declared the Hikki to Roy helmet change as "the worst part" or the customizations.

Mandarake only has a few sizes of boxes. While it doesn’t matter much for EMS, DHL prices will jump suddenly beyond certain dimensions, and if it exceeds 4kg by a gram it gets even more insane.
-
Yeah, I paid the same price for shipping back in April when I scored my lightly used one. YF-19 with all of its accessories cost the same amount to ship.
-
So all three of those various parts-missing DX Valks sold for around 18k yen, which seems like kinda a good price on a 1J, a decent price on a 1S considering how it is close to complete, and a really bad price on a 1A (unless they have gone WAY up since May when I was last really hunting them). And WTF was he doing with the wing elevator flaps? I can understand losing an engine cover, of even a gun, but why even take the flaps off? Just using them as the world's most expensive toothpicks maybe?

Here’s a Kakizaki with SSP for a pretty good price for anyone looking for both. https://buyee.jp/mercari/item/m50117422185?mrc1=mail&mrc2=mercari_search&mrc3=new_items&_=N1pZTEY0YnRvek96cENkaDhVQWlWZ3RNZ0F4cUtvKzFQMWZTKytLNXdEd0M0U3RKVmE4RWhQNHNRRCtCeHg3dg==

Here's a pretty bad condition Max if anyone wanted to use it to make a post-Millia fight battle damaged one, or maybe a customized Alaska Base Survivor. Don't see many under $100 with only a few hours to go... https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f455594362

Gotta love how he also did the 210 tail switch still have no idea what Bandai was thinking on that one!
-
If you have severe FOMO, Roy is at NY again for a terrible price
-
Is that the size of the smaller set of kill marks that comes with Kaki?
-
It's funny when two members post the same advice at the same time
-
As of a few days ago, you could do better after considering shipping through amazon jp (cause it deducts sales tax when you check out) or through Amazon JP and a proxy like Buyee or Zenmarket (the former is more convenient to use, the latter has slightly cheaper shipping options like FedEx)
-
I feel like the pilots don't apply them themselves or anything, it's more like something the Skull Squadron ground crew would do to boost morale.
-
If some real life WW2 ace shot down this many Nazis, how many kills do you think Max had by the time he fought Milia in DYRL? (He must have a lot off-screen, cause we don't see him for a month right?)
-
I mean I would want some and another member is looking to turn a Kaki into a Max 1A maybe, so would need a pair of big 013 and probably 2LT rank/name? And while we are at it, maybe a pair of big 011 and and the Hikki ranks? In for a penny in for a pound right?
-
How much are the import duties on something like that?
-
Thanks for answering my questions! You figure there are enough kills for 4 Valks? Looks like they go in matching sets on both sides right? Except any of the sets had too many kills for Kaki himself
-
So here is a question for anyone who already has a Kaki in hand. Is there anything in the manual in regards to decal placement? Figured that there might be a diagram that goes with all of the numbers. I am particularly interested in the enemy kill marks, and wondered if any were assigned to specific pilots. Any shot of that manual page if it exists would be much appreciated also are they water slide decals or just stickers? Thanks!
-
I often pretend that :P
-
Hahaha, well at least THAT makes sense! And that's true unless you are accustomed to it like Roy and Max
