I remember it actually being a fairly cool kit other than the massive hands that you already replaced. I do kinda remember the long pegs at the shoulders being a bit weak and may end up needing a fix down the road if you’re not too careful. Can’t wait to see it finished 

Just need to add the black paint layers, decals, and some small hand painted touch ups. I modified the way the legs attach behind the intakes by building up a severe angle”wedge” of pla to give it more of a wide angled stance. Hope it works out.

Ah crap man… that really sucks. I wish I could help you in any way.

Thanks; I appreciate it. The situation has improved, as we had to get legal help involved. I did manage to finally find the acrylic spheres I needed.

Note to anyone building the 22 inch cutaway: 30mm will be a near precise fit for the nacelles; you just need to give a swipe or two around the inside of the opening on the front of the warp nacelles with an xacto knife.

My big problem now is decals for this one; Round 2 is out, and I don't have the money for them anyways. I designed up a set in Photoshop to fit this model; I just need to ask a couple of folks here by PM if they could print it for me (11" x 8.5" ). If they can't, I'll have to check back in.

Meantime, I tossed the trillions of pieces that remained of my shuttle.   My heart just hurts right now....😭

@pengbuzz Understand the hurt. But, also glad to hear you found the right size spheres for the 22 incher! Huzzah!

The ARII 1/100 VF-1S is ready for action. 
love this little fella. All these old kits just need a little love and patience.
