Hi, new guy here. My KC 1/72 Veritech was purchased from BBTS. It's pretty much perfect in build quality and paint application. As most people stated, the paint work especially the panel lining is very well done. It is master model builder quality, and better than most high end die-cast aircraft collectibles. No exaggeration.
I resorted to using a plastic safe Teflon lube in the shoulder ball joints (first time ever with a toy or collectible) so they can articulate without stressing the joints. I'm not crazy about the not very secure stand or its gaudy green color. But overall I'm extremely happy with my first Veritech. Here's a few pics:
However, my second KC Veritech came with a frozen bicep joint and a poorly molded neck joint, which I returned to BBTS. My replacement arrived today.......with a broken backpack joint. I don't know what to think......because my first one has so far withstood over 20 transformations without a problem, but I also have two duds with QC issues.
I've attached pics to illustrate:
I also have a Bandai HMR VF-1S Fokker special......which suffered a cracked chestplate due to a molding flaw.....it had a bubble in the casting. I've repaired and repainted it, and it has held up the past few years. But if I had to pick between KC or Bandai, I can't choose a clear winner.
