Great shots @peter, the location is cool. Is it a bike path?

That's a miniature runway of some kind.  08 L indicates that the landing heading is 080 and that is the runway on the Left.  I would assume that it's a model airplane strip, but then those reflectors could pose a serious landing hazard.

It's actually a playground for kids near YVR, with three runways and working lights.

 

I was with my family and my oldest had a blast playing with the Valks and posing them for some of the shots.IMG_20210123_144949.thumb.jpg.002de2556835747bc61968007da75147.jpg

Obviously no drones or RC allowed as it is right under the flight path.

That is cool, thank you for the information. I learned something new today! :good:

That awesome to have something like that in your area. I commend you, I am not brave enough to bring my toys outside. :unsure:

Your family shots are great too.

I am so glad to have purchased this. I just can’t get over of how clean the VF-4 is.

There’s little bits that make this really nice:

1. Small are behind he canopy is now painted to match the VF-4.

2. The leg screws on the thighs are painted to match the body color.

3. No “1997 Big West” or “Made in China” stamps or under the wings.

4. Smoother, tighter joints. No flop out of the box.

5. Properly sized kite symbol on wing.

6. Enlarged skull insignias on wings versus the stickers previously supplied.

7. Gunpod with slimmer handle that attaches secure to the belly of the fighter.

Nice little improvements that made a huge difference.

Nice vf-4 fam shot! A Max/Milla HMR VF-4 would round it out nicely too. The VF-4 is such a nice bird for customs...
