Shishigami Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Hey i just sighned up because I recently purchased a yamato 1/60 yf-19 but ofcourse i didnt research enough and i Didnt get the one with the fold/fast pack included. I love my toy(no stress marks yet) But i cant stand the crooked gun pod. So my question is.. Is there a qucik easy fix to this.. or if not, If i where to buy a set of replacement arms, would that fix the problem. I am not a fan of speninding 30+ dollars on a fix, but i will if have to. THanks lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 With some careful shaving of where it attaches, I got the gunpod to be able to be straightened out. It's a bit loose now, but it stays in there and doesn't forcefully "kink over" to one side. Getting new arms---we hope, but seems unlikely, even for people in Japan, much less elswhere.

takatoys Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 This is the best method: Put a piece of plastic on the left arm where the gun attaches. You can cut a small piece of plastic from an old dvd case. Give it the same shape and that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but clear plastic looks better IMHO post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thread contains the replies, links and fixes/modifications for more than just the gunpod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 i just stuck some funtac(aka blue tac) underneath where the gunpod touches the underside of the fighter. simple, easy and requires no effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 After trying the taped handle and HANDI-TAK methods I've come to the conclusion that takatoys and Roy's Blues method works the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
