SDFcommander Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 (edited) Hey guys, With all this talk of Yamato possibly not making anymore Yamato 1/48s and the 1/48 GPB Amor coming out next year I decided to buy a 1/48 VF-1J Hikaru and some VF-1A/S/J Valkyrie Custom Stickers Set by Takatoys to dress it up Does anyone have any pics of these stickers on their 1/48? Also, are the original stickers that come with the 1/48s pre-cut? I am finally glad to be a part of the 1/48 club! With the GBP Armor coming out next year, I guess the big question is if Takatoys is going to make some custom stickers for the armor. Any word?

Hurin Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Howdy, Here you go. But there are better around. Scroll down for better pictures. There's some decent ones of the Max 1J with Takatoys stickers applied. H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDFcommander Posted September 20, 2004 Author Share Posted September 20, 2004 Hurin, Thanks. That is exactly what I was looking for! Very nice pics! I can't wait to pick up my 1/48! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armor Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 1/48 GBP armor? Is it really coming out next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurin Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 1/48 GBP armor? Is it really coming out next year? Well, according to this thread, yep. H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDFcommander Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 WOW!!! I had some time to handle my 1/48 VF-1J and I could not believe how solid it felt in fighter mode. Also, the shape and proportions of the fighter is just beautiful! I have not had much time to transform it though. I'm working on a 1/48 VF-1S Roy for a friend, but I am looking forward to detailing this baby up! I knew that once I worked on his 1/48 I would not want to let it go so I went and got one myself. The sad thing about the 1/48 is the price but you do get what you pay for. I think that this will be one of the last times in a long time I will have two 1/48s under my roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armor Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Yeah Dude, It's a great toy but not worth the $. Although I have seven. And if they make more I'll be buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connor99 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Yeah, I know what you guys mean. For something that goes for that price, it should be really poseable and all that, but I bet this has been discussed already in this particular forum .

SDFcommander Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 I just got my stickers today from Tmpanime.com What is the best way to cut them out? I was thinking about using an exacto knife to cut them off the sticker sheet and then use scissors to trim the stickers. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armor Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Do not use scissors. Just stick to exacto knife. A thin ruler can help with the strait lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connor99 Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 A small pair of scissors works on the Skull Insignias, but it is best to just use the Exacto knife on everything else. And SDFCommander, let's see some pix when yer done ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDFcommander Posted September 24, 2004 Author Share Posted September 24, 2004 Hey guys, Thanks for the tips. I was worried about straight lines so the ruler trick is an awesome idea. connor99, You know it man! I will be sure to post some pics!
