I just received my order of three Valks, VF-1S- Roy Fokker, VF-1J - Rick Hunter, and VF-1A/S Low Vis a few days ago with 2 fast packs. As a modeler, I love that these toys as they have the panel lines painted on. I was considering the Arcadia line-up as an alternative to start collecting, but that added detail by KitzConcept really makes these Valks POP! Otherwise, as these are the only toy Valks I have ever handled, the only small niggle I have with these is the large intakes and it only looks big in jet mode and not the other modes. The issue with the gun dragging on the ground when in jet mode on tarmac, doesn't bother me too much as I plan to display the jet flying. Which comes to my first question,
Have any of you used a different/better display stand as the one that comes with these Valks don't hold our toys solidly at all. I looked at the stands on GOKINPLUS but they say you need an adaptor but they don't sell one for our brand. Has anyone made or adapted any of their stands to work with these Valks? A different brand to try?
I installed all the batteries to all the Valks and fast packs and all work except for the nose section in my VF-1S - Roy Fokker. I used known working batteries in there but no joy. I will be writing KitzConcepts and ask what can be done.
