mickyg Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I didn't realize the hull on the 262 was so curved. It actually reminds me of the Yamato 17 in several ways. The hull is more curved than expected and this DX has to be thicker than we see onscreen. I think a good portion of that curvature is actually barrel distortion from whatever camera was used to take those pics. It's not very easy to pick out because there aren't a lot of horizontal reference lines in the pics themselves. But the vertical lines near the sides give it away. Still, there may be some curve there. And without a doubt, she's a thick bird! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iguanaman8989 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 It is a very chunky, thick fighter. Comparing the 1/72 kits, it just comes off as more beefy and powerful than the 31, which feels much more elegant and refined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrollphysicist Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 My bet is that the first release of the Draken Hs version gonna have some problem with quality control like 171 due to its being an entirely new frame, although problem would have been fixed with the next release of the Draken Ba Cannon Fodder version.

Actually that's not the case. The VF-171 EX alto came out way before the 171 CF and the Alto was perfect. the CF was just QC failures because either bandai or the factory they contracted to make the CF 171's was sketchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IXTL Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) 22,000 yen without Japanese sale tax. The Delta DX pricing is too steep for me to want to continue collecting beyond Hayate's VF-31J and Keith's Draken.

seti88 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 awesome posting venth.. 1) The mechanisms look delicate as expected, no fault due to the draken's incredible transformation. Tho one joint above the folded shield forearm seems to be pin-based though and not a screw. I wonder why they did that... 2) Is that a gimmick for the thrusters which seem to conceal the engine nozzles? 3) Details markings on the wing tips look clean and nice! and the dark blue and gold seem to be quite nicely contrasted!

seti88 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 I hope it will be possible to straighten out the fuselage so the rudder stops slanting to one side. And hope there is a way to close the gap towards the top of the rudder.. Not a big gap but you can tell it separating ever so slightly nearing the top..

Mommar Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 What kind of Cabinets you get Mommar? Nothing you'd find in a store... well, for sale. They're commercial cases. A collection of stores is going out of business in my town (around the country, really) so I got a great a deal on some large, lighted cabinets. It's definitely enough room for all of my Yamcadia/Bandai stuff. Probably not going to house my growing Marvel Legends/Figuarts collections though.
