Agent-GHQ Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 (edited) Thinking about getting this VF-1A H. Ichijo 1/48 Yamato. Its the 1st release. So I was just wondering if I should get it because there has been words on the 1st release that there are some flaws. If so, what exactly are the flaws or discrepancies that makes it bad. Please list the details. Thanks for your help. Ryver U.S. Navy Edited June 5, 2005 by Agent-GHQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy's Blues Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Crooked skulls on the tailfins. The flaps on the wings fall off once in while. BUT it is the one they released first. IMHO that enhances it's collectibilty. /has two //no, I will not sell it to you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenboy_forever Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Hey Ryver the vf-1a 1st ed has one major flaw the nose cone falls off easily. They added sliding groves in the nose cone in the second edition so the nose cone won't fall off. Also the the head rest on the seat is not curved like the second editions from Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent-GHQ Posted June 5, 2005 Author Share Posted June 5, 2005 (edited) Sup Rich, Thanks for the heads up bro! I was checking one on eBay and it was the 1st edition.

kensei Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 The only valk to have a crooked skull is the Roy VF-1S 1st and possibly 3rd ed. The HIkaru VF-1A never had any crooked skulls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kensei Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Kensei thanks for the info bro! No worries. The rest holds true though: loose wingflap on the left wing, unstable 90 degree elbow flexion, easy to knock off nosecone (remember, it is not loose, rather just easy to knock off). Apparently, not in my opinion though, the landing gear bay doors are harder to open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent-GHQ Posted June 5, 2005 Author Share Posted June 5, 2005 Dang, it was a good thing I didn't bid on the 1st release of VF-1A Ichijo 1/48. Anybody selling a 2nd or 3rd release VF-1A Ichijo 1/48? Thanks again for the heads-up Kensei! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
