justvinnie Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 Apparently, I'm a dumb ass and never tried to remove the AMM-1 missles for the rack but as it turns out each of the missles are removeable. This means you can pose the craft partially loaded to simulated in mission loadout. That's really cool cause I don't think any of the other Valkyries have this feature. Just letting everyone know since I haven't seen this mentioned before. vinnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 (figures Toynami would do something like that...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal_D Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 yah, you dumb ass! j/k hey did you know the box missles are actual storage boxes? I usually put the gunstrap in there if my valks are in fighter mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uxi Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 hey did you know the box missles are actual storage boxes? I usually put the gunstrap in there if my valks are in fighter mode. You can read Graham's rewview of the Hikaru VF-1A and find that the intake cover and a whole missile cluster (disassembled) will fit in one of the "boxes" of the UMM-7. I've independently tested this and can confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander McBride Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 I find that it looks cool with the empty pylons, flaps down, airbrake up, thrusters up, and nose propped on something to make the 1.48 lo9ok like it's just returning from a mission.

justvinnie Posted September 1, 2003 Author Share Posted September 1, 2003 Some of my 1/60th AMM-1 missiles have the ability detach form the missile rack maybe partly due to QC inconsistencies. The HCM and MPC have this ability as well. The MPC AMM-1 are NOT removeable. I managed to pop one off my "Ben" MPC" but the rest are glued tight. It is not a design feature. The same applies to the Yamato 1/60. vinnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justvinnie Posted September 1, 2003 Author Share Posted September 1, 2003 as for the MPC I was able to get the missiles off the Miria's veritech. Then it's not a consistent design feature in the toy line. Maybe Toynami got cheap with glue. Maybe they finally thought hey that's a cool feature after seeig the 1/48. Who knows? vinnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
