VF-171 Damage Report Part II: Natural Born Uneven Shoulder at Fighter Mode

Not sure if you can see that from a distance at this angle....



So let's take a close up from the front (pls look at where on top of the No.171):



And then another close up from the starboard side:



And one last close up from the port side (not as bad as the starboard side, but still pops up a bit as you see):

If my damage report above hurts your eyes, I'm sorry but just wish the upcoming "Forever Fighter Highlights" could at least soothe your eyes slightly:

As a promise to return a favor to brother Kolzz at 18#, here comes the VF-0A searching for Mothership Yamato....



Salute to Yamato Factory!

And many thanks to Brother Nela and Brother 源泉; without your help, these photos may never find their way here! : )

Also, my posting on VF-171 so far is just a routine collector's feedback & never mean to derogate any brand or shop with any business interests or hidden agenda on my behalf.  Since my VF-171 is purchased by direct mail order from JP & return/exchange is very likely (even with cheap yen now), I just wish all other VF-171 collectors luckier than me and much better luck than the pilot sitting in both planes below:



As all the important photos are finally uploaded to TD, the "open to public" setting of my photo bucket will be closed for now, good night & happy weekend!

I still could partly blame myself about the broken cockpit canopy (but it was indeed very hard to pull out even after a few trials), but regarding the uneven shoulders....

I just don't dare to perform any transformation on this piece (may be I just browse on youtube to look for some transform demo instead)..., and wish myself better luck when receiving the super-parts in Sept or so!

After the YF-27 and VB-6, I won't buy the Bandai Marcross anymore since I feel the pricing is keep on increase. But quality is not special good. If I spend 1.5 cow to buy this shxt quality. Wanna die....{:1_229:}

我個隻膊頭冇事, 不過機罩個連接位都幾幼下, 不過玩開菜都知要就住就住玩

Great shots!!!
Love the VF0A shot, can clearly see the pilot :)
I am thinking for getting a VF1J, which is the better version? 1/60? 30th anniversary version?
