1/48 VF-1D conversion kit inquiry.

Close-up of the canopy. It's relatively clear when I cast without a release-agent, but a bit soft, and needs to be post-cured just like the high-strength polymer. This is the part that's slowing me down the most, as I'm going to be redoing the canopy molds relatively often. However, I WILL post here in this thread the names of those whose orders have shipped. The first salvo will be going out by late next week. Stay tuned.

Hi Fulcy.

Actually, both versions come with a clear canopy; that's simply a must.

The difference is actually as follows:

-Vanilla kit: canopy and eye lens molded clear; all other parts in white.

-Color kit: clear canopy, clear green eyepiece, body parts molded in beige, orange, and brown.

Well, that was assumed in my post ;)

Though, shouldn't all the kits come with a green tinted eyepiece?

The Vanilla kits come with just a clear eye-piece. It's a relatively easy part to paint, and allows for different color variations for those who may want to customize their 1D beyone the regular green.

Damn, I received your e-mail but I have to wait until I get paid on Friday (14 Oct 05) to send the Paypal payment. I would like to change my order from the vanilla set to the color kit if it's not too much trouble. I am in no big hurry to receive the kit so the delay does not bother me as long as I know you can reserve a kit for me. I will still send the payment on Friday regardless if I end up having to wait for the kit. Thanks for this great offer!

Cap, how does the second seat work with a pilot fig?. Someone pointed out that it looks a little short. Does a pilot fig fit back there?.

Yeah all good with passenger Cap? :p

And EXO where's my Minmay? :lol:

The rear seat size is nearly identical to that of the front, with some slight modification to the bottom, as there's still a screw collar in the footwell( a vestige from the 1J). A pilot figure should fit without too many problems. If anything, the backseater's feet may need to be trimmed a tad.
