stram8777 Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 I have just about convinvced my wife to let me get a 1/48 VF-1J from Valkyrie Exchange, but there is a catch. Before she lets me order it she wants to see some pictures showing off all the detail I claim is there. She is VERY skeptical about the price. I have searched the forums and can't find any satifactory pictures for her. So PLEASE PLEASE someone help me out and post some pictures of the fine details, like maybe the cockpit flaps anything that shows off the greatness of this toy. I am hurting for a 1/48, I love my 1/60's don't get me wrong but I need help here. Thanks so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stram8777 Posted June 29, 2004 Author Share Posted June 29, 2004 Thank you so much for the fast response. If possible could you post some fighter pics, with possibly showing details of the flaps and the intake turbines. I owe you guys big time.

Graham Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Can anybody say Stand up to her like a man, or do what I do and lie about the price...."yes dear, this 1/48 only cost $20, honest"! Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppy Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 I agree!! Just say "trust me, I have years of wasted life experience in this department." Or say "why would I drop this much cash on a crap toy? It HAS to be good!" Failing that say, "too late now.. you married me! MWA HA HAAA!" But I am lucky, I live in australia where 1 $US = 70c $australian. So I always tell her what the toy costs.. in $US. (leaving out the 'US' bit.. hehe.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zentrandude Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Hahahahahahahaha. Ahem. Sorry for the blatant outburst. Here ya go. that pose might qualify for the most perverted pose you can do to a 1/48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NERV Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 i dont have a 1/48 or a decent camera else i would take pics myself but he said he wants details so might i suggest close ups of the fastpacks with the covers removed, closeup of the cockpit and pilot, a picture of the flaps in the up and down position, closeup of the airbrake and intake, closeup of landing gear, some comparison pics with a can of soda to show the size, and some really closeup pics of all thye details and panel lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stram8777 Posted June 29, 2004 Author Share Posted June 29, 2004 Hey I am gonna be placing my order in moments. The link to the pictures that jasonkimberson put up, that I could not seem to find, put her over the top. I can't wait. By the way am not ashamed to admit I am and will always be guilty as accused. But I would like to mention that any married man that claims otherwise is lying. When it comes down to it they have that special thing that we want and it ranks higher than 1/48 valks.

Godzilla Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Hence why I get my toys now before I get married. Then again, I need to do step 1: Get a GF. Then again, I guess 39 1/48s is a little much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dat Pinche Haro! Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 my girl would rather i spend my money on "gentlemen's" magazines and videos than on toys... but she knows if i didn't spend my money on building models and toys i'd probably waste it all on alcohol, and "gentlemen's clubs" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fansubs2000 Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Hey NOW that's an idea!!! I can start drinking and then convince my wife that collecting 1/48 Valks is enough to get my mind off the booze. Yeah that's it! Wait, Melanie you are not reading this are you!?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Rogers Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 my girl would rather i spend my money on "gentlemen's" magazines and videos than on toys... But of course. With toys you are the only one getting some enjoyment out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stamen0083 Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 But I am lucky, I live in australia where 1 $US = 70c $australian. So I always tell her what the toy costs.. in $US. (leaving out the 'US' bit.. hehe.) How does that work..? If the US dollar is weaker, wouldn't the US price be higher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechafan Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 I have just about convinvced my wife to let me get a 1/48 VF-1J If it is your money and will not hurt the bills I says get it. All my wife ask is when the boxes will stop comming and I say never. It also helps to get flowers and candy for your wife just before the box comes. Kevin ships fast. Here is one pic I found.

Stamen0083 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 the dollar is stronger, heheh1 dollar = 70 cents AU I hate economics, because I'm really no good at it. I'd rather build a digital system than worry about a country's GDP. With that said, will someone explain why the US dollar is stronger when you need more of it to be equivalent to the other guy's money?
