Did they ever make Super and/or Armored Parts for VF-31E Chuck Mustang?

No Super Parts were made for Chuck's VF-31E and Arad's VF-31S. When, Bandai? When? :aggressive:

Armored Parts on the other hand were only made for Arad's VF-31S. You can probably get one and repaint it for Chuck. :good:

I wasn't sure if I missed any parts set since Bandai is taking so long and doing things over the place😅

Thanks for the information @no3Ljm😄

now, a VF-31S/E with bundled supers would be a good candidate for renewal (bandai's milk the mold buzzword).
however the odds for such a specific bundle release would be ...hmmm...well maybe in a decade/MDelta anniversary? 😅

That super pack equipped VF-31E looks fantastic!
Was pretty lukewarm on the way the boosters just sort of sit on top of the wings on the other variants, but they are balanced somewhat with the radar dish on the 31E.

This was always my biggest dislike of them.  I think they would have looked much better if they mounted sideways, and slipped above and below the wings like the VF-25's.

It's a good thing the boosters were relocated for the 31AX ^_^

So I'm looking at these, and wondering if he printed his own decals for the shields.

I did a quick size comparison, and the shields use a smaller set of numbers than even the smallest font included in the Hasegawa VF-31A decals.

The bigger numbers on the right are pasted from below to give a better visual comparison for their size on the shield panel.

Did Bandai include smaller decals in their 1/72 kits?  I know I got one of the super-packed VF-31 kits, so maybe those decals would work better.

For those who want the decal sets but not the kits.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/144939298596?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=eQq8BKGURZ2&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=DYvEmawGRN-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I have bought set from this seller in the past and they work well.
