judgedoug Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) Hi everyone, I recently purchased a 1/60 Yamato v1 VF-1A Hikaru (DYRL) and a set of the 1/60 v1 GBP Armor, but the armor doesn't seem to fit quite right on the Valkyrie. For example, the chest armor doesn't clip into the cockpit shield, so I have to remove the cockpit shield, so the armor just hangs off the Battroid. Am I doing something wrong, or is the armor just not compatible with it? Edited May 13, 2013 by judgedoug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMax Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) You need to use the modified heat shield like the one in the middle of this picture: Pic taken from Jenius's website http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=1378#more-1378 Edited May 13, 2013 by BlueMax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judgedoug Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 I have this one and don't see the modified heat shield in the package. Should it be in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Unit Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) i had one of those from way-way back. parts from the armor would make the legs fall off the vf-1 i had them on and a lot of the other parts were loose also. the v1 valks & armor where literally getting clearaced out in a local night market for $50 + $30 (about a decade ago). i was tempted to just use crazy glue... but it looks ok if you just leave it alone once you have everything together (just don't touch it again because mine kept falling apart). i almost forgot i had it after gettin' my 1/48's & v2's.

judgedoug Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 I'm a fool. The piece is in a baggie taped to the underside and I didn't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMax Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Glad you found it! I only had the giftset (1J + GBP) so couldn't say for certain if the standalone packs have it (even though logic tells me it should be). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
