where to get 1/72 vf-11b spare parts?

Hi everyone,

I had an accident with my 11 yr old vf-11b, which has left it in a pretty damaged state. I've been able to find all the pieces, and there are two major areas of breackage which I don't know if I will be able to repair.

One is the right foot, which has broken at the ankle. Pretty ugly breackage, since it has been a clean breackage and will need some tooling to allow it to support the tensions of the ankle movement.

The other one: the hips. Before the accident, they both had stress marks. Now, well, pretty much... BROKEN.

So, I was wondering, is there anyone out there who can sell me spare parts, or a partially broken 1/72 VF-11B to repair mine?

Thanks in advance,

Manu

I think I have an 11b with a busted hip I used to display in fighter mode. I wish the first run came in box in fighter mode but oh well. I don't think it would solve your problem but I do know somebody around here was recasting hip joints a while back. I actually had a couple lying around a few years back but never got around to fixing mine and probably put them back out into the collective. I will look into my big box of resin hopefully over the weekend but don't get your hopes up for bits from me in anything like a timely fashion :rolleyes: . At least you know the hip replacement exists. If I remember correctly it was a beefed up version less prone to breakage no less. Maybe it was silverdragon who did them...

Hi Kanata, thanks for your answer!

I will try to find out about hip recast. The only thing I remembered about hip repairing was trying to fix it using a longer screw...

Kind regards,

I might have an original Yamato replacement hip kit. Let me check.

Hi Kevin,

thanks!!! If you find a hip kit, can you please confirm price and shipping? Finally, can you please tell confirm if the replacement is for the original 1/72, not the FP edition?

Thanks everyone,

Manu

I found the hip joint kit. It should be for the 1/72 version 1 since the hips were redesigned for the FP edition. Asking $10 for the part. It should be $16 shipped to Spain. LMK if you are interested.

Thanks for your help,
