Thanks none of mine are built yet, however: My plan is to drill a hole into the arm/arm armour, epoxy a brass tube into it, and telescope that over a brass rod mounted in a base. depending on how well they balance [likely better than a 1/60 because of the weight difference] a flightpose stand might work [or 2 FP standsonly using 2 arms each, might be a better option]. Yetistand makes acrylic stands and adapters. he's a member on MW (@ChaoticYeti) and has several mount/interface options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolt Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 There's always the 1/48 launch arm. Looks something like this. Seeing a 1/72 here but it's very similar.. I bought a 1/48 launch arm off @mslz22 a few years back. Been thinking of off loading it. Wanted to make sure the kit is complete before listing it. Been bugging @mslz22 for months on any pics of it as I couldn't find any existing on this forum anymore . Where it was originally featured..

Bolt Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Ya, except they're so rare, they're sashimi grade I'll have to get around to seeing if mine is complete.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joscasle Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 Well it is very frustrating that Hasegawa does not have a display stand available for the VF-1 Valkyries in 1/48. I know that the 1/72 are not the best also look, but at least they give the possibility of mounting the model in flight mode. The way SUPER / STRIKE looks with the landing gear is weird IMHO. Still can't find anything usable, https://www.yetistand.com doesn't work anymore, and Flightpose is barely good (in my opinion). Any other suggestions?

MechTech Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 There are also these, I believe they would be sturdy enough. - MT https://www.usagundamstore.com/collections/display-base Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
