I'm afraid you're gonna have to get used to all the lazy acronyms used in these forums -- users here can be as bad as the US military. AJ refers to Amazon.co.jp, otherwise known as Amazon Japan.

If i remember you had some sort of attachment points that you glued to the wings? Where did you get those? Or did you make them? I suppose I would be looking to use some 1/60 VF-1 armaments. I'm wondering if some 1/48's would look cool in a "those are a bit too big" kinda way. Plus, I'm swimming in DX armaments. You only really use half a kit and end up with lots of extras. Any pointers on how to pull attachment points off? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to drill out some styrene sprue from a random model kit and make little plastic donuts that I can glue on, but it's very tricky to drill the hole perfectly for a tight fit. Rubber tubing would give you a nice bit of built-in friction and flexibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
