Chokinzoku81 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Does anyone happen to know what part of a Yamato 1/48 Valkyrie this part is? I found it in a box and wanted to check w the experts. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borgified Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 That's an easy one @Chokinzoku81! It's a backpack hinge and used to connect the tail end of the two rear wings up flush into battriod's spine assembly. Even the 1/60 Yamacadias has it also.

Chokinzoku81 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 @borgified - I watched the @jenius video on how to transform the 1/48 Yamato and I still can’t see where it’s located.

MacrossJunkie Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Love those customs @nightmareB4macross. Man, the Yamato 1/48 VF-1 days were like the golden age of customs. There were many good ones back then. I especially liked Kurt's custom VF-1s, which you seem to have managed to get a hold of. Wish people were still doing them, but it seems quite rare to see a new custom in general these days... or I just haven't paid enough attention.

Getting Kurt and Jung customs amongst many others in various scales has been a walk through memory lane. I am just fortunate enough to be able to track and acquire them. Personally and not to open a a debate with anyone, I’m still infatuated with the Yamato 1/48. They is just so much that can be done with these. I have a few customs yet to complete, but slowly getting there. One day, I’ll be done and getting there will be have the enjoyment I get from getting there. Well, onto collecting.

derex3592 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I just wish before Yamato went belly up, back when they were cranking out a Valk a week or so it seemed for a while, they would have done all the 1:48's schemes in 1:60V2.

Mog Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I think we've seen bits and pics here and there. But never a full set @nightmareB4macross. Awesome work pulling off that custom. I do miss the good ol' days when people were customizing Valks like crazy. For all the advances that have happened in the past decade, we're still dealing with annoying limitations with white-backed decals and stickers. I also suspect life and family responsibilities have cut into our customizing free time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
