mcpaz Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ae_productions Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Hey Manu. I am sorry to hear about your 1/72 Valk. I hope someone here will be able to help. This section is a for sale/trade forum. You might want to put this in the WANTED section. You may get some better results. Again, best of luck in your hunt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanata67 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 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 . 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

mcpaz Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 I might have an original Yamato replacement hip kit. Let me check. Kevin 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VALKYRIE-EXCHANGE.COM Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 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. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
