CF18 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 That begs the question how did they launch the VF-11s with those boosters attached since even their line art landing gear is fairly short. Leg only gerwalk mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahab Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Perhaps, they too were mounted to the bomber wings (two valks per bomber)? Yep, that's what I'm goin' with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reïvaj Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Experten again---Full Armor VF-11: http://experten.coco...vf11/index.html Good Lord! They’re doing some serious work there! Really impressive… Why is Yamato not developing any of these??? Maybe it’s not economically worthwhile for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF5SS Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Cuz you guys didn't but the VF-11s at full price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) I still think it wouldn't be too difficult for Yamato to make add-on parts for the 11 right now. If they sold an armor set with an 11C I bet a lot of those would sell. More than just the regular 11C did.

Graham Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Experten again---Full Armor VF-11: http://experten.coco...vf11/index.html Seriously impressive! Graham http://experten.coco...vf11/index.html Why is Yamato not developing any of these??? Beacuse: (a) The VF-11B and VF-11C didn't sell as well as expected, which sorta soured Yamato on doing anything more with the VF-11. (b) When the VF-11 toy was designed they never considered the full armor, so the base toy is not really designed with attachment of the armor in mind, unlike the v.2 VF-1, which was designed from the start with armor in mind. Not saying armor couldn't be made to fit the VF-11, but it might not attach as well as it could. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF5SS Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 To be fair, I don't think Experten made his VF-11 with the full armor in mind either. The VF-11 doesn't need to be prepped as much as the VF-1 and even the base VF-11 has enough slots and gaps due to its transformation and existing super parts that armor could be made to attach to. You would probably need the huge gun just to keep the thing balanced in a neutral standing pose though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'm honestly not impressed with how Experten's 11 looks in any of the three modes at all but if that's the only way I can get an armored 11 I'd go for one. The 11 in Battroid with the armor on actually does look pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danth Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Just got my VF-11C. Am I supposed to take out the styrofoam under the cockpit? Any tips on getting the cockpit positioned right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF5SS Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Yes the foam is just for keeping the pod inside during shipping. Just fiddle with the cockpit until it's gold. Usually keep the little switch just before the fighter mode position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danth Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Sweet, thanks. It's a pretty great toy. The gun pod attachment seems to be kinda ghetto, though. There's no way to get it to point straight forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renato Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I was fixing my 11C last night. The white shoulder hinge has recently developed a crack... maybe the screw is too tight? Anyway I glued the crack and I'm hoping that's it for now. Still probably my favourite valk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewolf Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I finally got mine today. I absolutly love it. The VF-11B as been a personnal favorite ever since I fist saw the Macross Plus OVA. Here's a couple of shots of mine all stickered up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benson13 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I'm going to have to get one of these. I think that VF-11C looks awesome. If any one is looking to get rid of one let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Driver Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I love my 11C. Favorite yamato toy. I had to give them to my dad for safe keeping while I PCS, I'm sad, I miss it. At least I have my 1/100s to fidget with. The Hips get loose quickly, and the gunpod is tricky to get seated right so it lines up correctly, so watch out for that. I think the 11B has better gunpod alignment, not sure I don't own one. I do wish I'd bought the 11B instead, as that's the M+ VF11, and I like it better.

Pierre Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 With yamato getting the macross digital missions license for the vf_4 i hope maybe we would see a release of the paint job in that game or vfx2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatalist Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 As long as they keep making them. I want to be able to get one someday and not have it cost an arm and torso to buy. And totally agree on the VFX schemes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 My plan is to get the 11C at some stage, and display it with the packs, and the 11B without them. Best of both worlds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 ......wow, I was the last to post here... and it wasn't that long ago! Well I got my 11C and she is very pretty... but the gunpod sits crooked in fighter mode. Does anyone else have this, and are there any tips for straightening? Otherwise a very nice toy. Im considering getting a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurisama Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Make sure the the shoulder plates/pauldrons are flush with the chest piece to indicate the arms are as snug as possible - when u place the gunpod between the arms, make sure u massage it well and that everything is flush, once it is push the forearms (holding them together) and push again towards the chest - making sure again that the shoulder plates are flush with the chest piece. Place the legs and snap everything into place - and the gun should be fairly straight - some slight twisting should get it into position.
