Solscud007 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 did you check the pinned posts about repari issues of the yamato? they are at the top of the toy threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy's Blues Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Take it apart. Use a brand new tube of crazy glue to stick the pieces back together. Use a clamp to hold the two pieces together, and let it cure for a day. Reassemble. I used this method on my VF-11, and it is strong like the"Oak" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swatch Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 to Solscud007, Yes, I've checked them, but it seems like all things for 1/48, nothing for yf-19. To Roy's Blues, thank u. But what is crazy glue ??? is this its exact name? You mean to stick the two broken blue parts together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 View this as an opportunity, not a disaster. There used to be a thread about adding ball-bearing style hip joints on this toy and, IIRC, it made for a nice looking upgrade. Perhaps if you're already going to have to tinker here you should look into the feasibility of improving the toy by using this technique.

swatch Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 Thank you all, I will try to repaire it or I will try to use the ball-bearing system. : ) Is it hard to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 It's been a really long time since I saw the thread with the YF-19 ball-bearing hips but I think it was linked to a "how-to." Try doing a search and if you can't come up with it hopefully another member will remember where it was much better than I do and point you in the right direction. I do do a lot of drinking though so maybe my memory is just playing tricks on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Yes, you have been given a sign.... find the YF-19 ball jointed hip thread and set to work. Here's the link to the guy who did it first I think, good pics but Japanese text: http://www.netlaputa.ne.jp/~hekky/toy/YF-19.htm Go now and get to work. Get ball joints off of Hobbylink Japan. Otherwise, jsut disassemble the leg and glue that bad boy on... from teh sue of the joint tho, I might suggest pinning it by drilling a rod thru the peg into the bar piece and epoxying it in place to make it stronger.

Graham Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 First time I've seen a breakage on the hip joint of a YF-19. Usually, it's the knees that are the weak point on the legs. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swatch Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 My friend he told me that he bought this YF-19 as a MISB toy, when he open the box he see that broken leg. Could that be a problem from the factory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swatch Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 Hey, please help. There are so many ball joints in different sizes and by different manufactories in HLJ. Which one should I use to well fix my yf-19? I have no idea. Ask for help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 (edited) Could be a problem from the factory but at this point it's moot. More than a few people complained that their Yamato Mac+ toy was crummy right from the box but Yamato isn't going to help you out unless you live in Japan and it's six years ago. Lemme see if I can't dig up some ball joint stuff for you. Go here, you owe me a favor if you find what you're looking for http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...=11036&hl=yf-19 Edited December 22, 2005 by jenius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But someone said that Yellow Sumbarine's joints are better than them. So I will try with Yellow Sumbarine's joints first. http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?YLS40101 Is this one I should buy exactly?
