柿崎速雄 Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 HI, I bought a VF-11 RESIN KIT TODAY, but I know this kit is for advance modeler to play with, and I just a newbie about build up resin kit. does anybody here have some advice for me before I start to build this Kit? thankyou very much
Myersjessee Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 OH MAN OH MAN!!!! I am so very jealous! My advice...give it to me...! Would you post some pictures of it? I'd love to see how many pieces it has...I always talked wanting to recast this kit...but I suspect that would be impossible...(or too many pieces to make it reasonable... ) Still I would love to see it! Good luck, and please keep us in the loop as you tackle it! WOW! (can I ask..how much) ?
007-vf1 Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 ...and I just a newbie about build up resin kit. does anybody here have some advice for me before I start to build this Kit? thankyou very much build it, sand it and trim it with surgical presition and then pray, and pray that the thin pieces doesn't crack on your hands...
柿崎速雄 Posted March 12, 2004 Author Posted March 12, 2004 I get it for $2000 HKD =$250 USD and the original price is 25000yen I think this is resonable for a discontinue special product but I think I have not qualify at this moment to touch it I don't want to screw up like a mess I will take some photo of the package and content even the menu tomorrow, for who want to see it

Less than Super Ostrich Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 i'd practice on a cheaper kit... maybe the Wave kits before you embark on that kit!

rocco_77 Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 Sorry I can't offer any advice, but that seems like a pretty challenging kit.... Great looking too! Good luck.
Eternal_D Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 that's flippin cool. wish I had a few of those...but then again, they'd just sit there and collect dust if I had them. remember to post pics of your progress!

Grayson72 Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 Cool kit, wow all those pics and I can't tell what scale it's in? 1/100 or 1/72?
柿崎速雄 Posted March 12, 2004 Author Posted March 12, 2004 Cool kit, wow all those pics and I can't tell what scale it's in?1/100 or 1/72? this official data stat that is a non-scale model, but I get the size data from HJ, around 21cm in fighter mode,and compare the parts with YAMATO 1/72 it's a 1/72 scale model
tom64ss Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 Cool kit, wow all those pics and I can't tell what scale it's in?1/100 or 1/72? this official data stat that is a non-scale model, but I get the size data from HJ, around 21cm in fighter mode,and compare the parts with YAMATO 1/72 it's a 1/72 scale model Yamato's VF-11B is non-scale also. It's estimated to be about 1/68 scale. That kit looks so much better than the Yamato.

Beginner? Intermediate? still far away form the entry of beginner level...... experience= 0.00 haven't touch any resin kit before
Skull Leader Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 (edited) It strikes me that if you've worked with resin kits before you have an obvious leg up. The real trick will be in dealing with the screws. I have never EVER had to drill a joint before, so I have no idea how difficult that can be. It *seems* pretty straightforward though.... sure wish other, less expensive companies offered kits with screws to practice on. Many consider that VF-11B kit to be the motherload of all IHP production-level kits (this is, of course, not taking the limited production VB-6 into consideration) Edited March 13, 2004 by Skull Leader
