Sumdumgai Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) On HLJ.com, they've got a pic of the 1/60 VF-1D in fighter mode. It's in part 2 of their wonderfest coverage. Just a heads up. I just noticed it says that it will come with Hikaru and Minmay figures to put in the pilot seats. Edited August 8, 2008 by Sumdumgai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobber Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 The canopy...to me...looks more VT-1 than VF-1D....or a cross between the 2. Still hard to tell from that angle though. but I was hoping for the nice long VF-1D canopy, never realy cared for the VT-1. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they only extended the fusealge back like 2mm it could still hide behind the chestplate in battroid mode. Then they could add that 2 mm to the canopy. That would make a huge difference to me.

I think Swoosh's previous point was that even on the 1-seaters, the back of the removeable fuselage section is already as high as it can go in battroid mode. On the 1-seaters, it is exposed and is an eyesore, but on the 1D, it should be completely covered by the chest plate. The only way to make a longer fuselage section work is to not push the nose up in battroid, which means the hip hatch would need to be moved up to line up with the swing bar. Which stinks, because the forward fuselage should be a different mold for the 2-seaters anyways, so these changes shouldn't be a big deal.

I dunno, I was looking at it last night and I think it could go up two more millimeters or so. But yeah, it's stupid the way the front fuselage is already pushed up so high on the one seaters, since it doesn't leave extra room for the 1D's bigger fuselage.

Chris I already convinced myself that Yamato will use this canopy on all their two seaters. I'm just deciding if I can live with it or not.
