I have yet to transform it so any headers on what to look out for? just take it slow and easy. Refer to the instruction manual or there are some reasonably helpful videos on youtube you can follow.

Still waiting for my shipping notice from AmiAmi. hmmmmm nahhh... Don't get me wrong or anything I do like it but not nearly as much as the 31.. I will certainly be buying all the other variants but not gonna bother with doubles of the 262.. At this stage the only other Delta Valkyrie im keen on multiples is the 31A. Hope they ship yours out soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chyll2 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I can't see it clearly in the pics but it looks like that the clear canopy does not have recessed area to imitate the traditional canopy frame (if that is even the correct term) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I believe it should be completely clear like the 27 canopy i.e. no frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukenzero Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 The problem with the clear canopy is the lack of any sort of metal frame. Canopies need that detail to look like they belong and not just some unfinished model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmkjr Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) George Jetson approves of the clear canopy: Looks kinda F-22ish. Edit: The F-22 canopy reminds me of the VF-5000 canopy more. Edited March 21, 2017 by wmkjr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaiotheforsaken Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Man I go back and forth on this design a lot. I see some pictures and I love it and I see some others and I think it looks derpy as hell. The head area is what I flip flop on the most. I'm torn on whether I pay for my order or just let it go and accept the consequences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmkjr Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Wow. Did you have to bend the legs to get it in then adjust it? Looks like you can barely squeeze a sheet of paper up top! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F360 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 does anyone happen to have to weight scale so they can compare the weight of the SV-262 vs the VF-31J? From the websites packaging boxes it looks like the difference is around 40 grams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Just handling them I thought the 31 was a tad heavier.. what did the website say which one was heavier? Edited March 21, 2017 by spanner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavier weight due to more Diecast. Edited March 21, 2017 by F360 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti88 Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hmmm there are indications of mirage coming out in aug, so as of now it stands as hayate - Dec 16 keith - March 17 Messer - April 17 Mirage - Aug 17.. No pattern of 1 walkure, 1 winderme valk now...I guess the 262 CF's will hv to wait unless there is word of it soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 so I would assume another Draken will come after Mirage yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Not too sure if next after mirage, would b a draken, but if it is, it would need to squeeze into perhaps an Sept/October release. Is that too close to christmas? Else comes christmas, and i dont see a 262 CF as popular enough to warrant a christmas release... I would have tot the 262 cf would best come in July, just b4 mirage, to maintain the continuity of 1 walkure, 1 windermerean but alas....
