arrow Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I've been thinking about getting a 1/60 VF-1 or Destroid weathering version and couldn't find any reviews. Anyone care to give a review? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usagiz Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I love my weathered destroids! And you can find several on sale at hkcollectible.com! They are a reputable and friendly dealer from hongkong! (null) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacrossJunkie Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I think the weathered versions of the olive drab destroids don't look too bad, but the weathered versions of the normal ones just look terrible to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vi-RS Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I like the weathered version on these 1/60 scale VF-1 and Destroids, the 1/48 are a bit overkill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kicker773 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 The 1/48 has about the same weathering as the 1/60 v2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) Another problem I have with the pre-weathered versions are that if you apply the stickers, it doesn't look right because the stickers are clean and might need to be applied over the weathered areas. It's not a problem for people who don't put any stickers on, but for those that do, a non-weathered version would be better. That way it looks consistent whether you keep it clean or weather it yourself rather than having a weathered destroid or valk with strangely factory fresh markings. In my case, I weathered mine and tried to make the stickers look a part of it with paint wear, chips and dirt. Edit: Replaced with less stupid looking picture.

DarrinG Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Agree on the 'no-stickers-over-the-weathering' thing. Here they without. Wish Yamato had done a few more tampo print areas on the shoulders and crotch before applying the effects... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already paying a good bit more for them and they aren't really meant for customizing so they might as well have stuck with the standard markings so that it wouldn't look so bare.

Dimis Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Hi, For whomever is interested, these are the VF-1 Kakizaki and Max. I got them new - for Max's i had to fight a bit but since i had won Kakizaki's i wouldn't let it go so easily - i think i may keep them in their boxes for now. Still you can see the top details. The Max variant has a slightly more severe weathering around the middle. D Edited August 28, 2012 by Dimis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phalanix Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 ^um, that's a 1/48 weathered Hikaru, not Roy! Also, the 1/48 weathered Roy comes in a solid blue box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
