Vifam7 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) I need help from those of you who built Hasegawa's VF-1 kit. Right now I'm building the cockpit but I've come across a problem. I want to put a pilot figure into the cockpit. I don't know why Hasegawa doesn't offer a pilot figure in their kits. So I figure to somehow insert a modern fighter pilot figure from my spare parts box. I'm going to try and make/fake a Macross-ish pilot from it. The problem is, nothing I have seems to fit right. All the figures I have seems to not reach the sidesticks or the rudder pedals. Maybe there's a better or simpler idea? I'm open to suggestions.

mickyg Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Checked into PetarB's stuff: http://www.studiostarforge.com/ Certainly simpler as his figures actually fit Hasegawa stuff without modification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big F Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) I too was going to say try Petar as his stuff is better than Hasegawa's. Hasegawa do have pilots in the macross weapons set that they make, although unless you actually want the bombs and Missiles etc then your better to just speak to Petar, as it would be far cheaper to get his pack of pilots.

mickyg Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Any time! I'd buy a set too but I've got a VF-1D and want a Hikaru and Minmei. All the pilot kits come with only male or female but not both. Shouldn't be a problem on your build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickyg Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 LOL you just need to get both sets I know, it'd cost more than the whole model kit though! Not that they're overpriced, just way more than I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueTrooper Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 The hasagawa weapon set comes with 2 dyrl pilots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big F Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 The hasegawa kit is good and does indeed contain enough to kit out two valks with any of the Macross loadouts. IIRC mine cost about £15 in japan it was significantly cheaper although out of stock when ever Im there If you contact Petar he might be able to sort you out a special consignment.
