Gunpod71 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 (edited) Hey guys just wanna share a minor QC issue on the 1/60 V2 Elintseeker. Not sure if this happened to anybody yet.. I was installing the arm mounted radar and noticed the tabs weren't flush on the arm itself.. Checked the manual and found the actual tabs was screwed on the wrong way as you can see the pic in the manual.... Just grab a philips screw driver and... Tada!

Cyclone Trooper Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Actually, that part is meant to rotate on that screw when it goes from Fighter to Battroid mode. No real surgery was needed, unless the screw on your particular radar dish was too tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and I ended up getting two right leg side armor in this box.. aaargh Edited May 15, 2010 by Gunpod71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0n5t3r Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 cool... the site looks like it did before the upgrade... Hey guys just wanna share a minor QC issue on the 1/60 V2 Elintseeker. Not sure if this happened to anybody yet.. I was installing the arm mounted radar and noticed the tabs weren't flush on the arm itself.. i actually just leave it like that, coz if you mount the tabs flush on the arm it'll be a b!tch to take off... and you're gonna want to take it off when you transform it to b-mode.

While I agree, those parts get really hard to take off... there's absolutely no reason to take them off for transformation. The part rotates so you don't ever have to remove it (for transformation purposes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macross_Fanboy Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Haha, man that must suck. Anyways, I had the same problem with the radar package and I just put it on backwards and left it at that. I don't transform the thing anyways. Looks perfectly fine with a pair of micro missiles and 4 reaction missiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF-18S Hornet Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 yes, but for me, removing that part makes it easier to transform. Yeah I agree I had a problem trying to trans form it with it on even after I rotated it. kept getting caught on the legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah just to remind you be carefull with the missile pods as the wing hardpoint is rather tight and will break the nub off the missile pod when you try to take it off had that happen to me thye should have molded the holes a bit larger.

Vi-RS Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I'm wondering how on earth yamato could put 2 same side of leg armors since it hardly can fit into the plastic tray? Radar package. How did Yamato's assembly staff manage to squize 2 radars in the plastic tray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did Yamato's assembly staff manage to squize 2 radars in the plastic tray? i don't think he mentioned he got 2 radars... i think he just said he had the same problem w/ the radar pack that attaches to the left arm.
